Mechanics for Creating Wooden Automatons

Overview

“Here, you will get to know some aspects and concepts of the universe of mechanics and how small changes can bring new movement results.”

In this video lesson Eduardo Salzane addresses the topic: Mechanical Principles, which is part of the Domestika online course: Mechanics for Creating Wooden Automatons. Learn to build gears, cranks, and links with simple tools to create moving sculptures that simulate wings flapping..

Partial transcription of the video

“mechanical principles In this class, I want to start by talking about what we're going to do in this course. Here, let's build an automaton, a machine that works through a mechanical assembly. For this construction, let's go a little into the universe of mechanics. To get started on this topic, I would like to present here some mechanisms which will serve as the basis for our final project. Mechanical principles go back to history. Perhaps the oldest mechanism is the lever. A simple bar, which is organized on a support point, it can convert a big effort into a small effort. I will present h...”
