Mechanical design, machine design (Week 14)
The task at hand this week was to do the mechanical design for the final project. Since my final project is heavy on mechanical design, this week helped me get through most of my final project research and experiments.
I intend to design a mechanical wall clock which functions with the help of a pendulum. The trick here really is to get the ratios and the movement correct.
I laser cut card board to make gears and they surprisingly work well and function :D
The gears have 192, 128, 120, 30 and 16 teeth respectively and were designed on Inkscape, exported as PDF and printed on Epilog Laser Cutter.
