  MEKATICS
MEKATICS is a formal branch of TEKNAS concerning the construction of man made powered devices MEKA (formerly identified as machines). MEKATICS shares knowledge with several sub-branches of TEKNAS including ERGONICS, BIONICS and ROBOTICS.
MEKATICS is divided into several sub-branches: •Air Meka •Land Meka •Space Meka •Water Meka •Building Meka
 
 
  Machine
A machine is a device, having a unique purpose, that augments or replaces human or animal effort for the accomplishment of physical tasks. This broad category encompasses such simple devices as the lever, wedge, wheel and axle, pulley.
In MEKATICS, all machines and devices are known as MEKA and are defined into clear categories based on levels of complexity, function variance and relationship.
 
 
 UCA standard model of MEKA
All mechanical devices (MEKA) are defined by a six category system within MEKATICS. Each level represents a more sophisticated approach to the use of technology.
Level 1 Simple tools Sphere, disc, wedge, beam, block, cog, wheel
Level 2 Simple systems Levers, planes, pulleys, screws
Level 3 Complex macro systems Scissors, drill systems, clocks
Level 4 Complex micro systems Optic fibre, silicon chips
Level 5 Powered macro systems Motor car, ship, airplane, rocket, phone
Level 6
Powered micro systems Mobile liestening device, internal camera, nanotechnolgy
 
 
  Mekatics and mechanics
MEKATICS relates to mechanics in that all key principles of mechanical engineering are reflected within the architecture of mechanics.
 
 
  Mekatic.Kinesis
Most mekatic devices deal with only one type of kinesis (energis).
Virtually all current human machines are resistant in terms of the kinetic.result.
 
 
  Yield point
In MEKATICS, load at which a solid material that is being stretched begins to flow, or change shape permanently, divided by its original cross-sectional area; or the amount of stress in a solid at the onset of permanent deformation.
 
 
 MEKA Level 1-Simple Tools
All mechanical devices (MEKA) that are simple tools may be defined into six (6) sub categories:
Solid Circular Sphere, disc
Solid Rod Levers, planes, pulleys, screws
Solid Complex macro systems Protons, Neutrons, Electrons
Semi-solid Complex micro systems Hydro-Helio Atomic Matrix
Semi-solid Powered macro systems Pairs, Tris, Pentas, Polymers
Semi-solid
Powered micro systems Fats, Sugars, Cells
