## Description

This MCP server provides precise mechanical calculations for kite bridle steering performance. It allows AI agents to determine how pulley friction affects control by calculating friction force, efficiency loss, and steering delay. Users can use `calculate_friction_impact` to analyze specific pulley setups, `estimate_environmental_degradation` to account for salt accumulation and mechanical wear, and `simulate_steering_response` to predict if a steering command will succeed against current resistance. It also provides access to specific bearing data via `get_bearing_properties`.

## Tools

### estimate_environmental_degradation
Predicts how much additional friction will be added due to external factors

### get_bearing_properties
Retrieves the specific friction coefficient associated with a specific bearing type

### simulate_steering_response
Determines if a specific steering command will be successful given the current friction state

### calculate_friction_impact
Calculates the immediate physical forces and efficiency metrics for a single pulley setup

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the friction impact for a 500N load on a 20mm pulley with ball bearings and a 30 degree angle change.
```

**Response:** 
```
The friction force is 15.5N, resulting in a 3.1% efficiency loss and a steering delay of 0.12 seconds.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will a 50N control force be enough to move the kite if the total friction is 45N?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, movement is possible with a reserve force of 5N.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the friction coefficient for a ceramic bearing?
```

**Response:** 
```
The friction coefficient for a ceramic bearing is 0.02 with high precision.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the impact of salt buildup on my pulley?**
You can use the `estimate_environmental_degradation` tool. Provide the initial friction force and the salt accumulation level to find the additional friction force caused by salt buildup.

**Can I check if my kite will respond to a steering command?**
Yes, use `simulate_steering_response` by providing the applied control force and the total friction force to see if movement is possible and estimate latency.

**What bearing types are supported?**
The system supports ball, bush, and ceramic bearings. You can use `get_bearing_properties` to retrieve the specific friction coefficient for each type.
