How to get constant force spring for your project/sculpture
This is a video showing how I get the spring for my kinetic sculpture(th-cam.com/video/zFrTlWlbVjI/w-d-xo.html) from cheap measuring tap(5m).
Notice that the spring can be very sharp, handle with care and wear gloves.
It is more than likely that you will need to design your own axle/holder for the spring you get. This is just an example of how I make mine.

kinetic sculpture - how it works
มุมมอง 27K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a quick demonstration showing functions of key components for my first kinetic sculpture(th-cam.com/video/zFrTlWlbVjI/w-d-xo.html).
DIY 3D printed kinetic sculpture powered by spring
มุมมอง 40K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This my first kinetic sculpture. It is designed in SOLIDWORKS and 3D printed with PLA. The design is inspired by David C. Roy. The longest run with full wound is 108 minutes.

    赞,老伙计。一般的卷尺都是power spring吗?然后视频中等于是把外卷绕改制成了constant force spring应用了吗?另外我想问问,有没有恒力卷尺,而不是power sping卷尺或者说priral spring卷尺而直接使用恒力弹簧的卷尺商品?

    A real piece of art , sir . I am not trying to steal your hard work but I am beginning to try to stimulate my own sculpture in solidworks motion the problem is to make a rotating body lose angular velocity due to tangent friction and shear stress ( done by air on the mechanism ) I cant figure a way to stimulate those parameters so can you tell me just how did you ( at 0.57 ) this motion where the spinning body changes it rotation direction and how to stimulate the loss in kinetic energy in the sculpture .

    • @weilianghsu5647
      @weilianghsu5647 ปีที่แล้ว

      Unfortunately, I don't have my file with me after switching to a new PC. Yet, I can vaguely recall that I added friction to the surface between the ball bearing and the rod. I did not take any air friction into account (since I only wanted a visual effect). Finally, I added gravity to the motion model. Just play around with the numbers to achieve the visual effect you desire. I tried to simulate the actual model with real data (weight, density, coefficient of friction, gravity, etc.), but I could not get it to work properly.

    To wind the spring you have to remove the front wheel each time?

    • @weilianghsu5647
      @weilianghsu5647 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's possible to wind the spring with front wheel on. But you will have to push on the wing of back wheel which is likely to break overtime.

  • @JanTuts

    Hah! I've just learned about the existence of constant force springs and that they work by "unrolling a coil of spring steel", and I thought "that sounds a lot like a measuring tape" and here we are :D

  • @krankor2
    @krankor2 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the great idea. Here was a 5 m tape. I saw 7.5 and 10 m tapes in stores. Will a spring from a longer tape drive the kinetic sculpture much longer?

    • @weilianghsu5647
      @weilianghsu5647 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had not tried the longer ones, but I would assume they will store more energy (the springs might to be wider/thicker).
