I got a wee bit of a laugh from the second animation. Most people I know are visual learners and having something that imparts a bit of humour to the lesson makes the lesson more memorable. At least to my mind. Thanks Rob for one of the best learning channels on KZbin.

Great Segment, Thanks. I had a couple of tiny motors on an old Cessna 337 that used harmonic wave reduction drives to open and close the engine cooling cowling flaps. When the drives wore out after a few years and the cost of replacement motors were about $4,000 each, I replaced them with industrial positioners for about $120 each. they functioned better and only added about 1lb. each and will likely last a lifetime. Every technology has its best application and miss-application I guess.

Hi Robert: I'm in Canada, but it was neat to hear you're in Canterbury. I have to say, I found it to be the coolest place we visited in England. Hooe to one day be back again. Have you looked at that KZbin video by Hyundai, about their "UniWheel"? It'd be great to make one on a 3D Printer to experiment with. Your videos have inspired me to treat myself to one, probably on a Boxing Day sale, and most likely an Elegoo, Crealy, or Qidi. Cheers!

The animations just spoke at a much slower speaking cadence than you do, and without your excellent brevity; so they really felt like they slowed the video down a ton. I’d recommend putting the text on screen while it is being read as well as speeding it up. Always be testin

I am going to try one of these out for a robot. It seems like it would go well with something like a nema 17 stepper motor, for a robot arm! Regarding the animations, I liked them. I've used that tool myself for creating short animations. If you are able to remove the background of the image first, so as to submit only the head and body of the character, the tool can do a better job of making the whole body animate - not just the head area.
@thesentientneuron65509 ай бұрын
Hey Rob!! I don't have the magnets for it at the moment but I think you'd be very interested in trying it out for yourself! If you have a Halbach array on a circular disk, you could use a flux coupling to be able to transfer much more torque with magnets than you can achieve normally. North amd South want to remain coupled, so you could have two of these in opposition separated by a plastic washer or something to prevent them from sticking. I could also see generator designs based off the Halbach array taking advantage of generation at the rim. Anyways! I just wanted to share this with you in case you were interested.

Thank you for always providing entertaining and thorough projects. As you, and everyone else, have learned .. there are three camps of opinions: some love the animations, some hate them, and the rest have no care. Personally, the Musser part was a bit unsettling, whereas the graphic was entertaining for a 50-50 split. Always look forward to your posts. Ta!

I have a serious question, but first… I’m fine with the animations, ability to improve animations will always be progressing! Hat said, AI is a very polarizing topic at the moment… and likely will for a few years. The QUESTION: Could the gear spline be done in reverse? I’m thinking may be useful say with the ‘clock mechanism’’, but instead of a mechanical capacitor… be used as a mechanical battery. (Video 2088) My idea.. maybe a couple of these (split ring harmonic gear sets) to allow that (from 2088 vid) to lower very slowly,but then spin an output shaft much faster. Then pull the “heavy” Sid back up to the starting position, with a small motor or by hand. (IF SO… then would that be useful in a form of gravity generator)?
@actudoran9 ай бұрын
ha! I think I might have found my answer... I always wanted a travel rig for my astro gear that I can print/make myself to fit the scopes I got ... I guess super glue treatment of the cogs and rings would increase their longevity and stress resilience. how about backlash? any to be found in an obvious manner?
