What are AUTOMATA and HOW do I make one?

[@shelleynobleart]

Dear woman, you have done more for my grasp of automata in this brief video that YEARS of my trying to understand it from all other manners tried! Brilliant job.

[@artymous6140]

Thank you! Once you get the simple logic of it, you can start using your imagination!

[@studiosandi]

For me too!

[@SojoAnimation]

Ooooh I can’t wait to give it a crack!

[@clarrieflavell8543]

That's a wonderful explanation. Thank you! I can't find your Arty Mouse page on Facebook, I have tried. X

[@dv8ug]

I like the way it is presented calm and normal with a little bit of a humour :)

[@tonyennis1787]

Very similar construction to old-school computing devices. For example, at 5:34, consider the wheels on the right. When you turn the crank around once, the wheel on that axle goes around once. But the vertical shaft will spin as a proportion of the first wheel 's circumference and the track it makes on the horizontal wheel. That is, this simple device multiplies and divides. If the wheels in the automata don't slip, you'll see that the rightmost vertical shaft spins faster than the horizontal shaft.

that's really interesting! thank you for watching x

[@bipsypickle8333]

Thanks so much for making this tutorial! You simplified things wonderfully

[@anneoflaherty380]

Wonderfully clear explanations and examples. I've been wanting to do this for a long time with my grandchildren your video is simply the best .Thank you!

[@artymous6140]

Oh, that’s wonderful to hear! Have fun with the kiddos!

[@antonbrum5492]

Love automata, I have built a number of large model workshops with men wearing overalls working various types of wood working machines. I also built and enjoyed harmograph drawing machines.

[@xyz7572]

Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve been wanting to create an automaton for years but I’ve never even known where to start, so this is great :)

[@artymous6140]

Glad I was able to break it down for you!

[@lauriecraig2760]

Thank you so much, I'm 60 and needed the brain jog thru this! Love from Canada!

[@artymous6140]

Glad to help! Hope you make something interesting...

[@brokensword2621]

Wow, this is a very good video. Keep up the good work 😃

[@artymous6140]

Thank you! I hope it was useful for you x

[@diannmcdonald4949]

This is a wonderful informative video. I wish I see this before I tried my first one. Thank you for sharing. 😊🇨🇦

[@artymous6140]

You are very welcome, I'm glad I could help you out!

[@Momcat6]

Wonderfully clear explanations and examples; thank you!

[@artymous6140]

Glad it was helpful!

[@annacatherinesendgikoski1965]

This looks so fun! Maybe once I get my woodworking shop back I can try this!! They look fun!!

[@artymous6140]

You should!

[@Mangakuray]

Wow wow wow! I learnt so much in this short video that I haven’t been able to watching these long videos of other makers. Thank you so much for explaining the basic physics and principles like what difference does a hole in the middle and hole on the side makes etc. please make more automata videos. Would love to learn from you. If you offer any courses please let me know. ❤️👏🏽🤩

[@artymous6140]

Glad it was helpful! There’s a sand automata video too…

[@Salerno1947]

Wow! Very good explanation!

[@artymous6140]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@studiosandi]

Great video thank you for putting this together❤

[@artymous6140]

you are very welcome, I'm glad you got something from it x

You are very welcome - thank you for watching!

[@m.maclellan7147]

Great idea to use chopsticks ! Thanks !

[@artymous6140]

You're welcome 😊

[@f.osborn1579]

Great video! I appreciate the simple explanation you give. I myself have been threatening to make an automata for years now…I took a kinematics class at start of Covid and got thrown off making a mechanism…soon!

[@artymous6140]

Go for it! Use your imagination and have fun!

[@emanellaithy4339]

how do you come up with the little wood pieces? And, thank you for the explanation

[@artymous6140]

All the small wood pieces are there to add stability, I just cut them from scraps I had with a saw and then glued them. The tube was just a little cardboard tube from a roll of plastic bags! These parts aren't essential, but they do make the workings smoother and more stable x

[@tonyennis1787]

Great video

[@artymous6140]

Glad you enjoyed it! thank you for watching x

[@tejaskondgekar5509]

Mam your voice is like Discovery documentry and I really like it

[@artymous6140]

I’m glad you enjoyed the film. Hope you subscribed to the channel!

[@boonyboony100]

Where is the link to see those toys working please?

[@artymous6140]

Hi, This is an older video now, but the discussion after the video was on the facebook group 'artymous', if you'd like to join in!

[@johnhayes6414]

can and how would these be a sand automata ?

[@artymous6140]

Hold onto your hat - based on this comment i'll be making a sand automata in a future video...

[@mikel9056]

Thank you. I am going to your site to what wonders lie there.

[@artymous6140]

You’re welcome!
