Partial transcription of the video
“In this lesson. after discussing various mechanical components necessary for our final project. we have arrived at gears. There are numerous types of gears. each with specific functions and applications. This mechanical component is primarily used as a toothed wheel in applications where rotational movement needs to be transferred to another gear or converted into linear motion via engagement with a rack. The rack is a toothed rail designed to mesh with a gear. enabling linear motion. This component is widely used in opening electronic gates. Gears in a set can provide diverse movement opti...”

A course by Eduardo Salzane
Graduated in social communication from Unesp, artist Eduardo Salzane has already worked with authorial photography, puppet theater and some circus modalities before specializing in the universe of automatons — sculptures that move from a crank.
He has given workshops at different institutions throughout Brazil and his works have been exhibited in several galleries in the interior of São Paulo and at the Ecomuseum of Itaipu, in Foz do Iguaçu. Currently, he develops his work with reused wood and creates a universe of poetry in motion in each of his pieces.
