Thanks for the vibes :)

[@richardduncan9740]

I'm gonna engage a bit for similar reasons. Wonderful work

[@WillCarrKineticSculpture]

Thanks Richard, Hope alls well in your life

This is amazing... What a hyperintelligent creative genius man this is, Will Carr, amazing work!

[@WillCarrKineticSculpture]

Thanks so much

[@jefferylaudenslager4132]

Will, as always you are doing the world's good. Very informative dialog and thankfully devoid of cringe worthy art-speak. I do admire your thirst for adventure, reasonable risk and your restless aesthetic directions.

[@WillCarrKineticSculpture]

Thanks so much Jeffery. I still love seeing your piece of optical illusion sculpture you kindly gifted me in my hallway :) Hope alls well

[@michellep1718]

They move beautifully. Congratulations. 😍

[@WillCarrKineticSculpture]

Thanks so much

[@treesareafewofmyfavoritethings]

These are just wonderful! Love the ideas and the amount of work you've put into getting them to move so beautifully organically. If you wanted to show one off one on the top of an arty community building in central Bristol then we could definitely find a nice visible spot :)

Thanks so much

Beautiful work!!!

Thanks so much

Excellent work, well done! Really interesting that America is so much windier than the Uk. All the best, Philip

[@WillCarrKineticSculpture]

Yeah its when they get hurricanes I believe

mesmerizing looks very natural

Magnifique sculpture, vous êtes trop fort👋

Thanks so much

Excellent! What’s the background music?

[@WillCarrKineticSculpture]

I'm not sure actually

Hehe, great

[@WillCarrKineticSculpture]

The sculptures are designed to be out of height of children. The larger pieces are also out of height of adults, the circle one, Ripples, is at a height to suit smaller or larger spaces and designed to have more horizonal viewing

[@WillCarrKineticSculpture]

This is designed to Uk or US wind loadings and will not fall apart. Only if you put your hands in during a storm you may get issues. I have larger sculptures which have all the pieces out of height of touch, this is out of height of children and adults have to use some common sense in a storm

[@ignisking759]

Don't suppose you can share what these rules are that you mentioned at 1:56 and 3:23? Also just gonna ask if/what software you're using to see how your CAD models interact with wind/fluid.

[@WillCarrKineticSculpture]

Oooh, I think part of the joy is figuring them out with play. I don't want to say too much but having the sculpture symmetrical along one axis makes it infinitely easier to balance, the bearings should not be too similar angle to eachother, i,e, if all bearings were vertical they would not pass energy between the pieces so well. There is more... perhaps play spot the similarities between my 5 latest sculptures, you may find the rules :)

[@ignisking759]

@@WillCarrKineticSculpture Suppose I'm off to your other videos then on top of finding some high load bearings somewhere. Not something they sell in my local hardware store, nor anything I really need unfortunately(online shopping for the win, with me being at a loss for figuring it all out).

[@WillCarrKineticSculpture]

@@ignisking759 If you send me an email and how far you've got I may be able to help. I used deep groove ball bearings for the load spec that I need, and the bar/shaft has to be thick enough for that loading too. If you get a housing milled for this it can't be welded, I glue this milled bit inside a tube so that no heat enters the housing as this upsets the tolerances. If you have low tolerances it is best to use a lot bigger bearings than the maths says as they are only rated when the tolerances are tight, compression fit, bearing retaining compound can help too. If you are able to use 2 flanged bearings they are the easiest as they generally self center with a clever ball type setup but arn't so aesthetically attractive

[@WillCarrKineticSculpture]

I don't model how it moves in the wind in CAD, I will make sure it doesnt collide though. I use solidworks but is a very pricey bit of software

[@ignisking759]

@@WillCarrKineticSculpture These details you just shared alone will save me a huge hassle of trial and error, thank you.
