      Add a rechargeable battery to the mix and a solar panel strong enough to charge the battery at the same time the panel powers the mechanism. Then you don't need to worry about it stopping even in temporary darkness.

    If you are considering a v2, I would love to see a version where a ball is moved by rocking the entire frame (thus removing the lever to lift the ball). It would be difficult, but the software could employ a PID controller to get smooth motion.

    In 1968 I went to the World's Fair (Hemisphere '68) in San Antonio, TX. In one of the display areas, they had a machine that just fascinated me. It was a very simple machine consisting of a box mounted in a wall with a glass front. On the base of the box toward the front were two polished metal pads about 3" in diameter. Directly between the two pads was a shaft about 4" tall with a rotating hoop on top of it. Directly behind the two metal pads and about 6" above the base of the box were two holes in the back wall. About every second or two, a metal ball just big enough to fit through the hole would fall out of the hole on the right, drop down and land on the metal pad on the right. The surface of the metal pad had a compound angle that would bounce the ball and change its direction toward the spinning hoop. As the ball reached the hoop, its rotation would just align with the ball to allow it to pass through, ark down and hit the second pad where the direction was again changed and the ball bounced up and through the hole in the back on the left side of the box. Repeat indefinitely. A bunch of us probably watched this display for over an hour. Since that was 55 years ago, my recollection of the sizes might be off, but I will never forget how much fun it was watching this thing. We may have gentled "tapped" on the glass a few times to see if we could make the ball miss the hoop, but I think it was engineered with that possibility in mind because we did not break anything and it never "dropped the ball".

    Cool! I love those satisfying 3D animations too! This may be just part of your process that you leave out, but do you ever run a physics simulation on your machines before you build/print them? I'm a 3D animator myself and use Maxon Cinema 4D which has a physics engine that's pretty easy to use. I'm sure Blender does too. It made me think on this one that if you simulated it accurately enough, you could tweak the dimensions, slopes, etc until the ball lined up with the paddle arm at the end without the sensor and motor speed change.

    You can use spiral shaped linear gears to vary the speed of the push arm. Then you wouldn’t have that clicking sound and it would be more fluid looking. Oval gears do the same thing but they have two speed up points instead of the one you need. You can use all kinds of shaped gears but spiral gears would be perfect for this.

    Hi, just a thought. Instead of varying the speed of the arm you could widen the tracks on that side so much that the ball spins further on the "sides" and thereby moving slower. I.e. solving the problem the analog way instead of digital.

    You might be able to get rid of the arduino entirely. If you use a pair of cogs where half of the cog is one radius, and the other half of the cog is a different radius, you can get 2 different speeds as the first cog rotates out of the second cog. That way you just use a single little motor to power the artwork with no extra complexity. An example of something similar is shown in "Art of rendering"s channel under Mechanical principles part 5 timestamp 0:42.

  • @PunakiviAddikti
    @PunakiviAddikti ปีที่แล้ว

    Here's a couple of improvement ideas. First, you could make the acceleration and deceleration of the arm smooth instead of instant. Second, by changing the shape of the cam you can directly change how the scissor mechanism moves. Why not try some new shapes and see what happens? Third, the sensor does not have to be where the arm is. Since the cam and arm are connected by a chain, you can make the cam trigger the sensor. Not a huge improvement but it would make the frame look cleaner. Finally, consider hiding the motor and electronics in the base. You would have to make the base deeper and add extra gears, but using a pancake stepper would save some space and a custom ordered circuit board with SMD components would save space.

  • @NickCombs
    @NickCombs 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I think it could be improved by having the scissor lift go back down slower so that it gets in position just as the ball meets the gap. That should be possible with just a different shape of cam.

    Very cool! Couple things to really bring it home would be to adjust the timing of the bridge piece so it arrives in both places JUST as it is needed instead of being in place a moment before it is needed, and then eliminating that stutter entirely for the ball lift. Maybe make that part a continuous rubber belt that uses friction to grab the ball instead of a hard swinging arm? Really great regardless though, keep it up! Would love to see other types of these satisfying machines made in real life.

    LOVED this video. I have one wish, though; when you said you needed to reprint new parts because it didn't work, I would have liked to see a little more engineering talk about what failed and why, and how you made the right decision on the next iteration! Keep it up, my dude. I bet if you changed the shape of the cam, you could get the platform to move into place JUST in time for both the top and bottom.

      I was testing a hypothesis that speeding up the motor (running at constant speed) could sync the arm better with the ball without coming down too soon. Didn’t work, but next video I’ll try to give more context! Thank you!

      @@Engineezy You rock man. Maybe it's just that I'm a nerd for engineering (as a non-engineer, but a 3d modeler and game designer) that I yearn for creative professionals like yourself to share more deeply! I know it's a balance between entertainment and info to get the best engagement, but I really appreciate when creators buck that a little and don't take their knowledge for granted and share more with their community. Some content creators make a second channel with more detailed videos (or jump on Brilliant with that kind of content). You're giving a ton and the effort is noticed, though, so take in everything I say through that filter.

    Nice work. I would recommend measuring the position of the ball instead of the arm.

    • @Engineezy
      @Engineezy  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I tried that, but realized I also needed to measure the arm position because there was no feedback on the motor- I was trying to keep it simple haha

  • @ParrhesiaJoe
    @ParrhesiaJoe 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Love the design, but your description at the beginning made me desire that tension of JUST BARELY arriving in time for the ball.
    This is wonderful, but I think you could make it even better by having the platform act "just in time".

    I enjoy watching the creative process. Well done. Comment, is the center elevator bridge/lift just for mechanical pizzazz or does it really serve a purpose? 2nd...What type of 3-D printer are you using? The parts look great. Stay well.

      Yes, mechanics meet the emotional quirks of us humans.
      However, I think the up/down movement could have been smoother and tighter to actually achieve this 'will he make it'.

    Rather than an arm, could you use a friction wheel to move the ball to the top track? Like in a ball throwing machine?
