3 Real Life Mechanisms That Are Surprisingly Easy to Recreate in Scrap Mechanic.

Welcome to another episode of Scrap Mechanic! Today I am exploring 3 Crank and Slider mechanisms I saw on a website full of cool mechanisms. A crank and slider is capable of converting rotary motion to linear motion or vice versa. It's similar to the Cam and Follower mechanism I featured in a previous video, but has a few differences which are highlighted in this vid.

@3:09 the mechanism is a variable ratio gear, except it's just based on friction instead of teeth. Depending where on the parabolic surface they contact, the ratio between output and input speed is changed

[@0bsidianPrime]

I vote to give you an A+ for mechanism 156. If you look at the animation, you'll notice that the small axel that slides within the arm doesn't touch the ends, you have, unintentionally or not, done the same.

[@BLKBRDSR71]

Who knew Scrap Mechanic could be an educational tool. ScrapMan gets an A++ in my class. Well done!

[@sparky5778]

It was surprising to see how accurate the movements correlated with the animations. They were all in sync. Good job Scrapman A+ for all of them

[@the_Acaman]

He could just tweak the speed of the animations while editing to make them match. Still, an awesome outcome

[@sparky5778]

@@the_Acaman Yeah. I realised that but still did a good job

[@vit.budina]

You should build a fully working model of a 4-stroke engine cylinder with all the bits of the cycle animated, even using cams for the valves and such, I think many people who don't know how these common mechanisms work would really appreciate it.

[@jjlane9191]

I would say it’s possible but there’s a lot of things about engines that you would need to know before you go and build it.

[@abedkharisat1440]

In trailmakers, use all the things learned and make a flying dragon or something crazy like that, should try it in the new map with wind factors, aerodynamics ect.... Good luck @scrapman!

[@MrLarsgren]

it will be a lag fest.

[@samphoenix1674]

mechanism 1: A mechanism 2: A mechanism 3: B (would have used a slightly bigger wheel ) next i nominate mechanisms:125,158,175, and the boss challenge 185. challenge 2: i would like to see you incorporate multiple of the "507 mechanical movement" mechanisms into a vehicle (obviusly they will be pretty big to fit multiple in one)

[@shwellava]

You should make a Cyclocopter

[@red75v67]

That sounds like a cool 💡 idea.

11:32 - that 3rd mechanism with a fast up-stroke looks like a pumpjack to me (though they usually are the same speed up and down.)

Some of these cranks and followers are used for Steam locomotives' coupling rods Used to move the the Engine

[@czytp9787]

Hey Scrapman, what about making a CLOCK or a Watch with the previous Geneva Drive Mechanism thing, i did some testing and i figured out that actually the electric engine at some settings can rotate at 1 rotate per second so the clock might be possible and also it would be really cool if you would pull it off.

[@kellyfulwider9357]

i really love when you go full rabbit hole on the world of inventing. like the "first airplane one" cracked me up

[@yapsanzen5922]

It’s funny how ScrapMan makes complex creations and many days, months or years later he makes a super simple moving mechanism

[@alec1575]

I really love these vidoes; amazing job man 👍

[@KaneyoriHK]

so #100, the quick return crank/ mechanism is used in things like presses, shapers, slotter and planers, even mechanical actuators and rotary combustion engines, the internal ones I think. It generally provides linear motion that's not quite in line with the wheel, such as being parallel with the wheel. This common mechanism is used because there are a lot of tools which need an action done in one direction of each stroke, powered saws for example, and the amount of time for returning the tool to its starting position takes less time. The reason I know this is that there's no reason at all, I just think machinery is neat and am loving this series.

[@Tiibero]

Here's one I've said in one of your earlier tank recreation videos, a tank with a build in turntable in it's under frame for smoother turning

[@Nortio]

These mechanisms are amazing, im sure you've seen the comments but ill add to it and say it would be really cool if you used a couple to make some cool creation. Perhaps a challenge using ALL of them? Or just a couple of your favorite useful ones? Or maybe a multiple Monday where there is a template mechanisms that you each have to copy and paste into a creation to accomplish some task? An ornithopter using the wings mod perhaps could be really cool to see.

[@zalto5619]

Could you try building an AD-1 Oblique Wing or a Convair XFY-1 Pogo? I think both would be very interesting and I would like to see you would make them work. Great video as always, keep it like that!

[@ISplimeI]

Idea: use cam and followers with crank and slider systems to create a walker or some kind of moving machine!

[@tirakaninama9876]

TLDR: I know this is long but hear me out........ what if you made an Evil Furby? With the mechanisms from this video and maybe even some other mechanisms you want to test out to. Why not do something with these ones? I have a pretty funny idea, make a "cute monster"!! Use the left mechanism @13:25 for a mouth (attach the top post so it doesn't move and add suspension on the sides of the mechanism so the mouth can open and close) and have it open and close at regular intervals until an area/distance sensor is set off. Use the middle mechanism for eyelids, no changes needed, just needs to be attached to the top eyelids to open and close them, also on a slow, regular interval until an area/distance sensor is set off. Use the right mechanism for arms but not until the area/distance sensor is set off and that's when the cute turns into monster. Have the sensor speed up the eyes to the point that they're "breaking" (ie. @11:45 ) so they start blinking in random and desynchronized intervals, make the mouth speed go up and down to make it look like its trying to talk/bite you and make the arms flap up and down (fast on the up cycle like it's trying to grab you). I'm picturing a cute Furby losing power and going haywire! Would make for a hell of an episode and would allow you to put these mechanisms and more to good use.

[@-FARKI]

11:33 made me laugh so hard! keep up the good work, i love these types of videos!

[@randomthepyro2058]

maybe for next episode, you can look at using one of these types in combination with a "ratchet and paw" system and show how chaining them together as modular units can give fun results

[@alexplays5846]

You should try making a full engine using these mechanisms along with the cam and follower

[@tomasprochazka7840]

Scrapman really loves the *bonjour* meme, doesn't he?

[@colossaltithan3217]

A? Nah dude i'll give you an A+ for that one. Seriously, even the movement was so similar compare to real life

[@draconicshade8484]

Now here's a suggestion, make a dragon that uses the cam and follower that you made and the second crank and slider you made for the articulation of the main body and wings and maybe even the head as well with that second crank and slider

[@HalfWolf2]

The last one gives me hl2 thumper vibes, you could definitely make one using it

[@allengrove1864]

I think it would be interesting to combine one of these with the clock mechanism that you made a while back

[@8-7-styx94]

#93 is pretty awesome for hill climbing. It provides the power of X number of pistons into torque for the wheel. Seems to work vastly better than just a bearing. #265 is a variable speed drive. By moving the pinion along the rail it will either increase or decrease the speed of the cone shaped object.

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

this is *satisfying*

[@allengrove1864]

There's also a way to convert spinning motion to horizontal motion using gears you have a central gear that is spinning and it is it within a track that has two straight sides and then two curved edges one of the straight side has teeth on it so that it will only move a certain way has the gear spins

[@flyingmunk8956]

The mechanism in the thumb nail is what I used to make a homemade tattoo gun. No I don't use it, I just made it to say I can make one. And tested it once.

[@archer5932]

Hey Scrapman, I have a request of my own for your next historical build. You should try “Davinci’s Tank.” I don’t know a whole lot about it but I do know that it was really cool and had flaps on top that could open up.

[@pi0neer758]

I like the more frequent use of "bonjour"

[@Dalorian1]

@2:35 that's just the same thing as the pumpjack mechanism except this version has a vertical slider.

[@Armetron]

one thing to note is that the 'arm' of the third mechanism is quite long in your build causing it to have a long travel distance for each oscillation. If you made the 'arm' shorter it would probably be smoother with a shorter distance

[@S0renz]

Mechanical movement 156 would be perfect for an animated oil pump in Survival. Just need a sensor at max so color mode can be turned on and either swap the electric engine for a gas one as it would have infinite power since a craft bot would be turning all that oil into gas or use a controller set to rotate at 360 degrees on a loop to turn the mechanism. I'm not that good at Scrap Mechanic Survival so I'm just shooting out ideas.
