Mechanics for Creating Wooden Automatons

Overview

“Now that we've gone through cranks and links, it's time to look at another important component for our project. In this class, I will present some types of gears, their movements and applications. ”

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

“Gears In this class, after we pass for some mechanical components that we will use in our final project, we got to the gears. There are many types of gears and applications for this mechanical component. Basically, she's a sprocket used to transfer rotational motion to another gear, or a linear motion for a rack. The rack is a kind of toothed rail where this gear fits. This component is widely used in electronic gate openings. A pair or set of gears can bring several possibilities of movement: inversion of the direction of rotation, inversion of the angle of rotation and changing torque and...”
