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..

“Links In this class, I want to introduce another component that will work together with other pieces of our final project. We'll talk about links here: small bars that when combined alternately, can bring interesting movements. There are many types of links. They can vary in shape or in combined bar quantities. Each combination will result in different movement types. But in this class we will focus on the type of link we will use in our final project: a four-bar link. Here, we have four combined bars. These four bars come together by small holes at its ends, that rotate freely on the pins....”
