And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Not sure what it does except -- waste time -- it's a Time Waster!
Exactly. If you look carefully, rotary motion is becoming (sorta) square movement. Watch the small gears. Can't offhand think of a reason to do that (other than 'wow") but this is the sort of thing you find in industrial filling equipment etc. Like the Geneva mechanism. Weird, occasionally useful.
My first thought also...the Wankel Engine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wankel_engine In my high school yout (Norwegian for youth); we had a presentation about this engine in shop class. Oh, way back in 1970 I believe.
Calling Franz Mesmer
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it took to make that..
Motorized fidget spinner for lazy anxious folks
ReplyDeleteI saw one that had a center gear that was square. On Homemade Tools a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI think they're basically edutainment tools. To show what's possible if you need it.
Awesome website. I had no idea that site existed. Thank you!
DeleteReminds me of the rotary engine motion.

it would give you something to stare at when the acid peaks.
ReplyDeletePlanetary gears
ReplyDeleteNow explain the design process to me.
ReplyDeletePositive displacement pump
ReplyDeleteyour planetary gear engine is similar to the old Wankel Rotary, recently improved upon by Liquid Piston, check them out, really cool.
ReplyDeleteWatts that?
ReplyDeleteI think that's what makes the gear scream in my side-by-side when I go over 45 mph.
ReplyDeleteclose relative of the old wooden "bullshit grinders" found in the taverns in years past.
