An Improvised Multi-Purpose Mechanical Gadget: A Model
Keywords:
Improvised, Multi-Purpose, Mechanical Gadget, ModelAbstract
his study entitled, “An Improvised Multi-Purpose Mechanical Gadget: A Model”, was undertaken to design, construct, test and revise an instructional gadget that will facilitate and effectively deliver to the students the basic theories and principles in the operation of various machines in the Mechanical Technology Department. This gadget is made out of locally available materials. It is intended to help the students and the teacher facilitate effective teaching-learning processes and demonstrate the actual acceptable skills needed in the modern industries. With the aid of the related literature and studies, the improvised multi-purpose mechanical gadget was conceived. The design was finally made including the list of supplies and materials, tools and equipment and the detailed illustrations of the different assemblies. All defects and weaknesses were checked after the final testing and revised for smooth functioning. The result of the study showed that the improvised gadget could perform as well as the commercially-made machines of the same functions. The cost of production for a single unit of the gadget including labor cost, overhead cost and operating cost amounted to 5, 659.50.
