Another recursive mechanism - this time the distances between boxes alternate getting longer and shorter, so the boxes move diagonally! Full video: youtu.be/ckrrQTkTqIo

A "recursive" mechanism, where the position of each part is determined by the positions of the previous two parts in the chain. Full video at

We have a timed water switch I cracked open to see if it could be repurposed into an device. This is totally water powered: setting a time pushes open the valve, water is directed to spin blades, a bunch of gears turn, which eventually spins final gear with cam that closes valve. Clever!

Not a very dry environment, don't think I’ll be hooking it up to . ‘;^)

So, I applied this gear design to a dial with a pressure-fit cap and two 3D printed clips. This allowed the to drive the needle on the other side through the .

The gears are a 3:1 ratio, and they're double-stacked, so that's 3^2 or 3*3 or 27x. That brings our 7.5 degree/100 fps margin of error down to 0.3 degree/3.5 fps, which is perfectly acceptable.

Mechanical Cats!

Oh, no! These aren't Steampunk Cats, these are Cats of gears and levers and grease! They squeak when you pet them, they groan when you scritch their bellies!

Happy Caturday!

Yay! I finally solved the "simple" problem.

It was indeed obvious once I knew the answer. Not much complicated maths at all once I found out that I needed to use the logarithmic spiral formula:

x = 𝑟⋅𝑒^(−y⋅𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜌) / 𝑛)

z = 𝑟 − 𝑟⋅𝑡𝑎𝑛(𝜌)

Screw/screw gearing viewed from the side - you can see the teeth meshing together in the middle.

Yay! Have a look at that video!
If you're a geek, you'll love spending 6 minutes watching this video. You'll find out far more about the mechanics of simple gears than you ever realised existed!
