Automata: Mechanisms & Methods

How to make Automata: Mechanisms & Methods
Keith Newstead introduces the basic mechanisms and methods that are used in automata, mechanical sculpture and moving toys.
Making automata is hard. It requires a wide range of construction skills and an understanding of certain mechanical and engineering principles. This can be very frustrating to the beginner but help is here now with this inspiring video which features the work of Keith Newstead.
The first part covers: Levers, Cranks, Linkages, Cams, Shafts & Bearings, Ratchets, Gearing and Drives. The second part concentrates on some of the ways the mechanisms can be put together to make automata.
