The Playa Crawler Construction
This video shows the design and build process of The Playa Crawler as well as a few set backs and redesigns that were needed to get it to a working state.
The Playa Crawler is what's considered a "mutant vehicle" or "art car" and is a piece of kinetic art. I made it to be used as my own personal vehicle to get around at Burning Man and i wanted something interesting and unique so I created a chair that walks with the legs. the leg linkage was invented by Theo Jansen, a Dutch artist who creates this massive walking sculptures called Strandbeest that walk along the beach being pushed by the wind. I designed the Playa Crawler with the Dieselpunk aesthetic in mind which is why the body has lightening holes much like you'd see on the interior of an airplane wing.
To be clear this isn't any form of wheelchair alternative as wheels are, in fact, pretty hard to beat in terms of efficiency and flexibility on differing terrain.

    Can it go uphill or downhill?

    You could integrate springs into the legs that push the legs down. this would decrease the peak stress on both the legs and the motors and should increase performance.

    • @slaapkonijn58
      @slaapkonijn58 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Why? Isn't the whole point of this mechanism is that the legs are moving in a straight line. I.e. not pushing up. So adding springs would not do much?

      Hi! I try to make sure I always let people know that I was inspired by Theo and his Strandbeest creations. I actually met him once and showed him the initial designs before i even made it and he gave me some advice for how to make my own Strandbeest type creation. I also got his blessing when i sent him images and video of when i completed it. Hope that puts your mind at ease!

    What sort of gradient can it handle?

    • @zenichiworks3637
      @zenichiworks3637 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure how much but it can go uphill so long as the grade increase is smooth and gradual. There are wheels at the tips of each foot but they don't spin very freely and are just there to make sure the legs don't catch and scrape on the ground.

    Its called a strandbeest mechanism amd its basically just simple shapes that have a complex movement. Theirs multiple variations which is why he's able to turn it around instead of it going one way

    • @zenichiworks3637

      I think it's generally called the Jansen Linkage but otherwise you're right :)

    This man went to the renaissance era, and gave them a crankshaft out of what was left of the engine of his dad's beat up Jeep and said,"This is one of many parts of a machine that we have in the future. This machine is used for travel and can turn around 360 degrees, climb and go around rough terrain and do so in a way that keeps the driver up steadily to keep them comfortable even when they reach a violent gap in the path ahead. Although it contains many moving mechanical parts that work together and perfectly timed to do all of these things. This is the part that times everything by spinning constantly moving the parts that make it move and keeps them synced up perfectly so they keep the machine's weight balanced, preventing it from shaking." and then Da Vinci responded,"like this?" and then this man, was like,"yeah... spot on."
