Your machine has just revealed the missing link I needed for my theory of DNA magnetic refraction vectors. With this motion pattern the rotor produces, I can engineer a sequence of nucleotides that would shape wavelengths to concentrate and amplify energy impulses directed into it. Thank you.
And why would any body be disappointed! Those drawings are like a work of art. It takes a smart mind to build one of those! I think you work is fabulous! Keep it up.
Honestly dude, you have got to be one of the most intelligent people on TH-cam. You speak very little, if at all, and your creations are pure genius. This is engineering at its finest.
Magnificent! My only misgiving about calling it a harmonograph would be that it doesn't have any kind of wind-down built in, so you don't get the spiralling-towards-the-centre effect you do with pendulums...
All you have to do is make the two gearboxes offset from one another, as shown in the video. Even small changes can produce completely different designs, and larger changes (such as altering the gear ratio) produce even more different designs. You are correct, though, if you had control over the motors, and used multiple motors with variable speed, you would have more control over the output image. I may do this if I can get my hands on another motor.
Yes, that is exactly my thinking is well. I planned to do that from the start, but I only have one free plug-in motor (the rest are all being occupied by my K'nex ball machine in progress), so I had to go for differences in gear ratio instead. When I finish my machine, or if I decide to buy another motor, then I will make a new harmonograph that uses the variations in motor frequency to make more complex patterns. This was just a proof-of-concept.
Nice job! It's a motorised mechanical spirograph rather than a harmonograph, though. A harmonograph works by swinging pendulums tilting and manipulating a drawing surface, the two or more pendulum frequencies moving in a harmonic relationship with each other, creating a visual record, or picture, of that harmonic relationship. Otoh, I suppose it could be argued that the relationships of the gears controlling the pen in a spirograph is potentially the same thing, or at least equivalent in concept and effect. I'm about to start making a Meccano harmonograph, so I'm just looking around to see what others have done so I can learn from them. It never ceases to amaze me, what marvellous things can be made with so-called toys such as Lego, KNex and Meccano.
Really awesome! I made the thing EXACTLY like yours by reverse engineering it! Thank you so much for the very few views of the gears in the beginning of the video! If anyone's interested, I can post a video of mine...
That's a full toroidal vortex in all its frequency variations. Chaos, Strange Attractor, Fractal formations. App: Chaospro. That last one is a classical wormhole. The very fundamental flow of information at the subatomic level. Magnetic fields, wind patterns, aurora of living creatures.
@austron im guessing you could make one with two of those plug in motors because the motors maybe turn at sligtly different rpms and that could make it drawl something different i know that different motors turn slightly faster or slower due to other factors in the motor it self
It's drawing something like a Klein bottle or a Mobius strip, I know from experience those things aren't easy to draw. I typically draw machines and abstractions, but I can draw most things decently.
@austron doesnt drawl the same picture everytime i bult one a while ago and i could never get it to drawl something different i think the only way to get it to make something different is moving from knex to wood and motors that you can control
Do you find the parametric functions by trial and error or do you know specific offsets of the gearboxes that result in particular parametric functions?
Does anyone know how to represent a drawing mathematically based on the difference in angle between the main/yellow cogs and the inner cogs that rotate against the center cog? My maths is too rusty/not good enough...
@austron no i mean mine and yours drawl the same thing only difference is that the gearing ration is different here go to my videos and fine mine and tell me what you think its called knex machine and its under compund catapult

I have returned BanChunk, though I guess you go by PhoenixShark now. I have not known peace in the last 2 years. While I try to distract myself with the happenings of everyday life and the chasing of goals, there remains in the back of my head, an itch. An itch that will remain until the greatest mystery of my life is answered. What was it 10 years ago, in the time stamp 0:52 , that prompted you to write this comment. Was it the state of the shape at that given moment? Was it simply an appreciation of the framing? Whatever the case may be, I await your answer.

This is pure genius. Well done.
This is what I call a Knex science.Thumbs up for this guy! :)
I love how the patterns seem random at first, but change to very nice figures after a while.
How could those 17 people not like this?

Looks like its drawing a worm hole. Cool machine

This is a really cool design. I want to replicate something similar with the lego mindstorm

Awesome work!

smarty pants
No, he's just educated.
Thanks for your inspiration.
Now i've build a look a like drawing machine by myself
I'm definitely a fan....teach me your ways, master! haha
Really awesome! I made the thing EXACTLY like yours by reverse engineering it! Thank you so much for the very few views of the gears in the beginning of the video! If anyone's interested, I can post a video of mine...
Yeah, could you please post a.tutorial? I need this in my life :3
This thing draws better than me! I do suck but still a machine that draws
Ok...officially in love with your channel.
Great! The drawing and the machine!
I couldn't learn how to draw unless I went to art school they said. Well LOOK AT THIS!!!
uuuuh....thumbs up iff you see a torus?...
That's a full toroidal vortex in all its frequency variations. Chaos, Strange Attractor, Fractal formations. App: Chaospro. That last one is a classical wormhole. The very fundamental flow of information at the subatomic level. Magnetic fields, wind patterns, aurora of living creatures.
A tutorial for this would be absolutely amazing, I'd love to have one. Definitely subscribing.
Well this finishes my art homework
Awesome dude! I have currently been constructing a knex Spirograph! =D
ok u have intrigued me wat is powering this drawing machine
@austron im guessing you could make one with two of those plug in motors because the motors maybe turn at sligtly different rpms and that could make it drawl something different i know that different motors turn slightly faster or slower due to other factors in the motor it self
That is awesome!
Satisfying AF!
absolutely insane
Awesome I'm gonna try and recreate this thing with some gears have.
My reactions:
1st one: IT'S SPIDERMAN!!!
2nd one: TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE!
Liked it very much ;)
Its a SpiroGraph. It was a popular kids toy in the 70s.Google it. This just has a motor.
Don't suppose you fancy posting a tutorial on how to make this thing?
Amazing
That is so cool
i think we have the pendulum version of something like this at the science center museum thingy
crazy, they are all the same 3D shape only drawn from different perspectives
It's drawing something like a Klein bottle or a Mobius strip, I know from experience those things aren't easy to draw. I typically draw machines and abstractions, but I can draw most things decently.
So cool
Freaking amazing!!
thats amazing:)..
The things you build blow my fucking mind
@austron doesnt drawl the same picture everytime i bult one a while ago and i could never get it to drawl something different i think the only way to get it to make something different is moving from knex to wood and motors that you can control
Cool man, love it :)
How could I get a painting made by this? It's beautiful.
Are its orbits always closed? Is there a way to draw a chaotic space with attractors?
This ones pretty cool....where do u have room for all of this ?!
That is quite cool. :O
Thats so cool! I wish i had one haha
Do you find the parametric functions by trial and error or do you know specific offsets of the gearboxes that result in particular parametric functions?
Even if I can't you still just got a new subscriber :D
Woah. It draws 4D spheres!
this puts the helicopter to the curb
draw me a bunny! haha i'm kidding, pretty awesome thing to build from knex!
They all look like wormhole illustrations
in a husky voice "in a world before the smartphone....
well, cant say it was a hard mistake. thanks man
Does anyone know how to represent a drawing mathematically based on the difference in angle between the main/yellow cogs and the inner cogs that rotate against the center cog? My maths is too rusty/not good enough...
Just in curiosity, can anyone tell me why the drawing always looks like a tube?
Its like a spirograph
nice
Awsome
Is it chaos?
That is so cool! What's it drawing? Who cares, it's cool!
They all look like they are gonna be crap, then all the sudden it gets better!
@austron no i mean mine and yours drawl the same thing only difference is that the gearing ration is different here go to my videos and fine mine and tell me what you think its called knex machine and its under compund catapult
can you please post how to build it would love to do this with my kids
cool
do you have instructions?
Hey Hugo, I doesn't looked like you needed that stupid key after all, just some k'nex parts.
can u make instructions?
What does it draw?
A good way to find out is to watch the video. That usually helps with questions like these.
You gotta upload the pictures it drew
coolcool !
Still draws better than me.
Have you ever owned a pen?
i think there is no programming involved, it seems to be purely mechanical
1 person is a fan of Legos
Honestly, I don't know the specific functions of the machine, it was just trial and error with different gear ratios.
I Like Your Video Sir, Keep up The Good Work!
Neato!
What was it supposed to draw (btw awesome!!)
HOW MUCH INK DOES THE FRIKIN PEN HAVE FOR GOD SAKE!!!
first one looked like spiderman
It's a sailboat
The drawing is okayy
how do u make it
Billy Hang It took him 5 hours to make, so you're saying you wanna spend 5 hours watching a video on how to make a massive machine?
yeah it took me 3 hours to copy it
It kind of looks like it's drawing out a 3D rendering
K'nice egg
future engineer. good work kid..or man haha dont know how old you are
Never mind
connect that shit to an arduino and program patterns for it to follow
looks like spiderman
pause EXACTLY at 0:52

First I thought it was drawing PAC man
i know what I'm making next
Hugo Cabret much?
