Have you seen Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens? My project is based on a character within that movie, and how it works. Meet an adorable droid in the galaxy far, far away: BB-8. The one droid the evil First Order is looking for, with the map that leads to the last Jedi Master, who can bring a victory.
However, if you’ve never heard of Star Wars, you are missing out on a great adventure story! George Lucas created the first Star Wars movie in 1977 featuring two heroes and a heroine battling an evil empire, which became a great success. By 1983 the first trilogy was completed, followed by another set of three prequels between 1999 and 2005. After ten years of “retirement” Star Wars debuted once again with a seventh movie last year.

The axis of a gyroscope is capable of maintaining balance due to an equilibrium of a spinning wheel that resists change in direction.
Inside BB-8’s spherical body is a circular, weighed “base plate” with omniwheels (omni means multi). This base plate, which I will call segway, houses a gyroscope which constantly spins with motor and rechargeable battery, to control the movement of BB-8 during its lifetime. As BB-8 rolls along the ground, the gyroscope attempts to maintain alignment, specifically to keep its head towards the top of the body.
From the center of the segway we have a rod as BB-8’s “neck” going up, with a servo in the middle, continuing to the top with a magnet that keeps BB-8’s head at the top. The head can tilt because the inner “neck” can bend. The neck’s tilting action is controlled by a servo. A servo is a small device that looks like a mechanized box with a bendable “arm”, much like a remote control joystick. The servo receives an electrical input signal that changes the angle of the arm. This angle is called the output. Normally the servo arm is set stationary at 90° (straight up), with a range of 0° to 180°. The angle of the arm would change based on the input. Because of this, we now know how BB-8’s head tilts. That’s why when BB-8’s body rolls, the head can tilt yet remains securely on the top of BB-8’s body.
How does its head turn? BB-8’s head turns left and right using a rotation motor
The magnetic field rotates 180 degrees when the battery slider moves from one side of the battery to the other.
The outer racer of the bearing is fastening into the boss. The whole subassembly is then attached with the steering arm, stub axle by means of welded joints and the plate welded to the chassis by means of Rod end bearing(2). The steering arm is joined with the steering rod by swivel joint as shown in the fig1.

Before the 1997 version, the audience hears the name Jabba the Hutt, but has no idea what or who he is in A New Hope and the following movie in the series The Empire Strikes Back only too see him for the first time in Return of the Jedi.
Lucas’ movie Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, was not only the biggest sensation of its time,”...winning seven Academy Awards…” (Kiminski 10) , but also a substantial influence on the toy world. Lucas stated in his interview, “Ten year old boys will
With the record setting release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens the sci-fi franchise is the center of attention. No small talk begins without saying, Have you seen the new Star Wars?
The device that displayed the best motion had three wheels. The reason that the device with three wheels displayed the best motion might have been due to the fact that it was the most secure out of the two. The device was much more even than the device with four wheels, holding the front tire in place and making sure it did not add more mass to one side than the other. The device with four wheels had multiple instances where the front tires would lean more to one side than the other. The average distance the three-wheeled device traveled was 888 cm while the four-wheeled device traveled 486 cm, a 402 cm difference between the averages.
The entire plot of Return of the Jedi is the conclusion of a story of a young man and his friends trying to find their way in a battle between good and evil. Throughout the film, the characters each have their own, unique, inner struggle while all fighting in the same galactic battle. While the theme of darkness versus light is strong, there are also hints of other themes, such as power, corruption, love and sacrifice. All of these components are set in front of the backdrop of a nonstop battle between the freedom seeking Rebels and the evil Galactic Empire.
The final car uses a combination of a mousetrap and rubber bands. The mousetrap, attached to the top of the car by tape, pulls a fishing line which is wrapped around the front axle. The fishing line is attached to the mousetrap at an arm that was added to the mousetrap. The arm is comprised of two long axles attached to the hammer of the mousetrap which allows the fishing line to pull the car's axle for a farther distance. The long chassis of the car allows for the arm to be as long as it is. If the arm was much longer than the body of the car, the spring force of the mousetrap and the weight distribution of the arm would cause the car to flip. However, by distributing the weight of the arm across the body of the car, the car was able to maintain
Set approximately 10 years after The Phantom Menace, this installment in the beloved saga sees Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker (newcomer Hayden Christensen) act as bodyguards to Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) who now serves as the senator from Naboo. Obi-Wan spends the majority of the film tracking down Amidala’s would-be assassin, discovering a secret clone army for the Jedi in the process. Anakin, on the other hand, begins to fall in love with Padmé and takes the first noticeable steps to becoming Darth Vader.
The ratio between the time and where the pendulum is confuses people the most. People found the sine factor to be confusing so Foucault made the gyroscope in 1852 to try and help them understand the concept of time with the pendulum. The gyroscope’s spinning rotor tracks the stars directly. Its axis of rotation turns once per day whatever the latitude, unaffected by the sine factor.
The central character appearing in all six movies in the Star Wars saga is Darth Vader, who is formerly known as Anakin Skywalker. He is the protagonist in the prequel trilogy, but one of the main antagonists in the original trilogy. The films tell the story of Anakin Skywalker as a Jedi knight who turns to the dark side of the Force. Darth Vader is the father of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. He later sacrifices himself to save his son, Luke.
In the movie Star Wars “A New Hope” the plot was to get everyone together to defeat the Death Star. But in the beginning Princess Leia gets captured by Darth Vader, in his effort to quell the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. Luke Skywalker and Han Solo work together with R2-D2 to try and rescue the princess. At the end of the movie princess Leia is rescued and help the Rebel Alliance. The galaxy is safe and the Death Star is destroyed. In The Force Awakens, the mission is to find luke. The character Finn crashes his ship and meets Rey. Rey has a droid named BBA who contains a secret map. Finn and Rey join forces with Han Solo. They are all looking for Luke Skywalker to let the resistance know where he is staying.
