Mechanics for Creating Wooden Automatons

Overview

“In this class, you will see some types of cranks and how they act in the movement.”

In this video lesson Eduardo Salzane addresses the topic: Cranks, 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

“cranks In this class, we are going to learn a little more about cranks and how they will be applied in our final project. We generally think of a crank as a part where we apply a rotational effort to move a mechanical assembly. What characterizes a crank physically is the displacement of its center of rotation to one end. This offset distance can be greater or less, depending on the mechanical effort which will be applied in our mechanical assembly. Here, the leverage principle also applies, that is, the greater the distance from my center of rotation, less will be the effort to generate th...”
