- Taking inspiration from Theo Janson's Strandbeests, I make two different models to explore how the mechanism works.

I made three extra Strandbeest Displays, and want to give the extras away to anyone who is interested. If you are one of the winners, which I will pick randomly at the end of January 2020, I'll contact you and send you one of them. Good Luck! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Fantastic work, my goodness. Excellent work in the footsteps of Theo! My son of 7 years (Ray) and I loved and learned from your video.
You could double the length of each link and use standard 1/2 inch width without milling down. Would save a heap of work.
The motors should work if they're geared down enough. They want to spin really fast, so it has to be a huge reduction.
It was a pretty big reduction - at least 200:1.
@@RyanGausMakes wow, I guess that hobby motor is just too small.
@@ridethroughlifertl Yea, I suppose! Also a potential is maybe I wasn't mounting the motor ans geartrain securely enough to keep the gears from skipping.
Anyway, I hope to someday come back to this project with a fresh set of eyes and figure it out then!
This is literally awesome
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
During the video you tightened part of the linkage with tools and put a decent amount of oomph on it. If you haven't gotten it to work yet, try loosening all of your pivot points and lubricate with oil or grease instead of graphite. You might also polish the ends of the linkage that overlap. Good luck.
Good idea!
Your video is so amazing!
Shout out
Hi there Ryan did you get your machine made? I'm collecting ideas to build a mechanical ant with 6 legs driven by 1 double shafted electric motor and gear box and since there is only one motor all the legs will be in sync with 3 on the ground at any time ,, 2 legs on one side and 1 leg on the other side all running with bike chain and sprockets, I will be sitting in a seat behind it doing my shopping I think the kids in town will get a kick out of it.
excellent work
Thanks!
Damn i wish i could make one
Keep up the great work. I'd love to see you make more mechanical pieces. An Iris/aperture mechanism perhaps, or just some moving art and incorporating your miniature work. Cant wait to see what's in store for the channel in 2020. Happy New Year !
Thank you! Yes, more mechanical pieces are definitely planned, and will probably be incorporated into the model house too somehow!
Well done young man, if i can add some insight to your work process - brush the swarf off the delrin before inserting again. This will help keep parts more accurate. Put a chopping board or foam under the collet and endmill when tapping the drawbar and dont forget to deburr your parts. happy machining!
Thanks for the suggestions!
I dont wanna point any fingers here, but based on when this video was released, The Last Oasis DEFINATELY ripped this design off for their spider walker, like carbon copy. Also, go play Last Oasis. Its awesome.
Bro, can you give the length of the linkages wich you used on our video.
Hi! If you look up "Jansen Linkage" online, you'll be able to find the ratios needed. Here's an example: www.csuohio.edu/sites/default/files/47A-2016.pdf
You should try using high torque servo's instead of motors or use a motor from a 1/16 or a 1/8 scale summit rc
Great.
Thanks!
Fantastic project! I love your videos.
I'm not very mechanically inclined so this may not help, but regarding the gears, I've seen people double (or even triple) up the gears to share the load (like in this video th-cam.com/video/jpJIhxE1iQk/w-d-xo.html ). That plus multiple reductions and probably a beefier motor.
Good idea. Someday when I'm able to revisit this project further I'll try it out!
Lol Ceinture et bretelles des écrous freins avec de la loctite...
Theo is pronounced -THIY-ow in English or TEY-ow in Dutch †. For all of you that may be confused lol i was
This is epic but it is confusinh
Also ı cant join the giveaway ım not in usa 😭😭
@@egemen3865 What's confusing about it? Sorry, the giveaway already is complete.
@@RyanGausMakes like everytime you add something its being more cpnfusing
@@egemen3865 Ah. It's definitely a complicated mechanism!
I’m trying this since 4 years , I’m an engineering student, I’m from India, sir please help me for making this project complete
Hi! Feel free to send me an email! ryanmakesyt@gmail.com
Answer to your power inadequacies: Reduce weight by using hobby lindenwood instead of aluminum. I'm partly saying that out of jealousy for your mill...
Good idea, but thinking back, I'm pretty sure that the limiting factor was less the weight of the material and more the friction caused by the mechanism containing so many linkages. Maybe I'm just telling myself that though because I like the look of the aluminum! 😃
@@RyanGausMakes Perhaps Teflon inserts at the joints? That's what I'll be doing. That motor looked pretty small.
@@fritzwilhelm8258 Ooh yea, I'll keep that in mind for the future! I definitely should have done that. With the gearing ratios I had, I definitely was able to get some of the motors to spin it briefly - well, at least before the gears broke that is. I think some metal gears and reducing the friction on the linkages would go a long way.
@@RyanGausMakes If you can get it to spin suspended you'll know you have the linkage lengths right. That's what has been giving me headaches, my beast ends up being crippled in one leg. I don't have a formula for sufficient motor size per dimensions. We're not building model cars, that's for sure.
@@fritzwilhelm8258 I did get it to spin in a suspended manner, see here: th-cam.com/video/iFd-KkSyB8M/w-d-xo.html. Unfortunately, that's the only shot I took at the time.
I definitely wouldn't have been able to get to the precision required without access to a mill. I'm not sure what equipment you have available to you, but with a decent quality milling table on a drill press you might be able to get the lengths precise enough. Anyway, if you're running into any problems in particular I'd be more than willing to try to make some suggestions!
