Sand Automata - Acrobat in action

[@jimhood1202]

Nice work. I like your process. Proving each step as you go.

[@TheodoraBrass]

I’ve recently begun investigating these great toys and am trying my hand at a build. I did almost everything the same way you did on your first attempt at the mechanism. Your second idea was genius and certainly saves on time and materials. Thank you so much for sharing your process and design. Best of luck on all your builds.

Thank you for taking the time share your automata project with us all. I've become fascinated by the sand powered variety and look forward to creating my own. Ian from Australia

Gracias por los comentarios [ Thank you for the feedback ]

[@gajananvaidya5942]

Excellent example of a creative mind

[@RavindraGodbole]

Thank you so much 😀

[@55Ramius]

Great job with that. Amazes me what all people can make with cardboard.

[@RavindraGodbole]

Thank you very much!

[@ianspoetry9751]

Hi again Ravindra, I like that you have made the wheel and hopper as a separate unit first. Like the engine of a car that you then got to the body. Well thought out as way of perfecting the process while the components are accessible. I was thinking of using balsa wood. Stronger than card and very light. Regards Ian

[@studiosandi]

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm really looking forward to trying to make one of these❤

[@thehouseofautomata]

This is superb, the method of incorporating the wheel bracket into the hopper body and the separate sand hole are very clever. I will recommend this video to people who enquire how to make. One improvement would be to make the acrobat figure of very thin card to be even lighter. Great work and video

[@RavindraGodbole]

Thanks for the valuable feedback.

[@scormack56]

Thank you,i am going to try and make. Your video simple and easy to follow.

[@RavindraGodbole]

You’re welcome 😊

[@studiosandi]

I'm watching again ❤

[@steve_22xy]

thanks for sharing your information, i want to make one of these. such a nice creation!

[@RavindraGodbole]

Thank you!

[@alleymaranto9310]

THANK YOU!! Exactly what I needed.

[@RavindraGodbole]

You're welcome!

Great Work! 😀💐

[@pekingerleben]

Thank you for the documentation. I am also working one one.

[@RavindraGodbole]

Do share your work as well

[@pekingerleben]

@@RavindraGodbole I will, maybe even today! Can I post the videolink here then?

[@yogendratatte2119]

Nice

[@tom.y9868]

I have made many of these, you need to off set the wheel a but so he will spin all the way around one way, you have it to even so he struggles to go one way or the other.

[@davidgarston3353]

HI Ravindra, thanks for the video of acrobat interesting would it be possible to post a plan of your model with sizes ect on here to make it easier to make please or maybe one to download thanks again .

[@RavindraGodbole]

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't have the details as this was made long time back and I have given this to somebody else.

[@davidgarston3353]

@@RavindraGodbole thanks for the replay Ravindra I'm having a go at making the Acrobat from your vid. Regards David

[@cleocarruthers9629]

Really enjoyed this. Thank you so much for posting. Some very clever design ideas there. I have also been trying to make one of these and although it looks simple, it isn't. I have no skills as a woodworker or engineer so all of my efforts so far have been trial and error. Could you please tell me a couple of things? What sort of pins are you using to assemble the acrobat? Also, are you using a nut either side of the wheel as a washer, if so, is that to improve alignment?

[@RavindraGodbole]

Thanks. Normal pins are used to hold things in place. Nuts are used for alignment.

[@cleocarruthers9629]

@@RavindraGodbole Thank you.

[@allygator3260]

@@RavindraGodbole Excellent Video! May I ask what is on the other side of the pins to keep them from falling out or a arm/leg from falling off?

[@plumsink]

Great work! What kind of white glue are you using? Basically like Elmers (American school glue?)

[@RavindraGodbole]

Regular glue will work. Fevicol is the famous Indian brand I use.

[@Vadimkatashid]

Is there a pendulum that swings for a very long time?

[@raj-m]

I think some Higher viscous liquid (oil) may work in the 2 bottle system you made. Maybe density is also a factor in it. As always great video.👍👍

[@RavindraGodbole]

It will work with water. I have to make larger wheel.
