Mechanics for Creating Wooden Automatons

Overview

“What types of movement can small bars combined in an orderly way make? In this class, I will show how some types of links can be used in conjunction with other mechanical components and perform interesting movements. ”

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

“In this class... I want to introduce another component that will work together with other parts of our final project. Here. we'll delve into links—small interconnected bars that. when alternately moved. generate intriguing mechanical movements. These components come in numerous forms and configurations. each with unique properties or in the number of bars combined. Each combination leads to different types of motion and mechanical behavior. But in this class. we'll focus on the type of link for our final project. a 4-bar linkage. Here we have four bars. Combined. these four bars come togeth...”
