Escalador Mecánico

Posted by Dave on 23 June 2008 | 1 Comments

I love the mechanical simplicity of this and how difficult it must have been to get it to work with such apparent ease. All this is happening with a single motor and cam arrangement.

(via MAKE)

Having seen the wonderful things Tim Hunkin has made, it’d be great to try out some automata for the Proverbs Show. I got a copy of Cabaret Mechanical Movement which looks like a good place to start. Very happy to lend that to anyone who’s interested. I also bought one of the Timberkits kits - lots of fun!

Cheers,
Dave.
