John Viggers

Inventor's Smorgasbord

February 21, 2007

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I am a farmer who enjoys making machinery. I design my contraptions on paper, then using a CAD program to refine the designs. Having no training in engineering I am frequently using references such as "Machinery's Handbook" and "Moving The Earth" and "Mark's Standard handbook of Mechanical Engineering" and others.

I have to say, that Parmley's book is a treasure trove of information, with heaps of unusual ideas for common compnents such as O-rings, rubber balls, pipe connections, washers and many others, plus hard information about more complex components such as gearboxes, cams, governors etc etc.

This is a big book, with many pages (numbering within each section only), lovely clear diagrams, and enough but not too many tables, formulae and specifications. It can be browsed cover to cover, (as I am doing for the 2nd or 3rd time), open a page at random and be fascinated, or look up specific topics in the excellent index.

I have read the other reviews on this book, and clearly it is a valuable rescource to professionals. I can tell you that it is also a fantastic mine of information to the interested amateur.

Great content!

September 3, 2010

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I have this book open on my desk at work. I skim through it when I have a free second and it gives me great ideas for my mechanical design projects. Every page has something interesting, and the author does a great job at pointing out not only how a device works, but in what type of application it is useful. It's not a tell all book on mechanisms and machines, but it does have a wide variety of subjects, everything from complex mechanisms, to clever ways of implementing common hardware. The author also includes some equations for complex machines, usually it how to calculate the velocity or acceleration of an important point on the mechanism. My favorite thing about the book is the way the author shows several solutions to common problems and compares them, like sections titled "Typical Methods of Coupling Rotating Shafts" or "Mechanisms for Adjusting Tension of Belf Drives". I do have one complaint...the spine on the book is cheap and I know it will be ruined sooner or later, I'm going to be careful with it but I know it's inevitable. In all honesty though, I would still recommend buying it.

Lots of information, on a lot of subjects

April 18, 2009

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

It is mind boggling to think how much time it took the author to find, let along compile in a useful form, all the information in this book. Unfortunately, most engineers today bypass this kind of info altogether, in favor of electronic devices and their design in the never ending quest to become the next Bill Gates. In my mind it is a case of having thrown the baby out with the bath water, we have forgotten about the analog baby and went directly to far more complex, black box, technologies that may be a step backward in efficiency. Less and simpler might be better. My thanks to the author for providing a concise study of useful devices and methods.

This is a massive, useful mechanical resource for anyone who designs mechanical things

April 14, 2010

Format: Hardcover

This book has sections on things I never dreamed would actually get an entire section devoted to them. O-rings, Screws, Springs, unconventional fastening methods... I really enjoy just flipping this book open and looking at whatever page I come to. The resources in this book will help a designer avoid simple errors, as well as providing some insight into other ways of doing things. Preventing overcomplication of mechanisms seems to be a big theme, too. This is a great book, if you're prepared for the compendium of knowledge in it.
