A series of basic mechanisms that are useful and sometimes seen in the real world - part 2

0:00-0:15 Schmidt Coupling
0:16-0:30 Geneva Mechanism
0:31-0:41 Chebyshev Linkage
0:42-1:06 Trammel of Archimedes
1:07-1:33 Scissor Mechanism
1:34-1:48 Hoekens Linkage
1:49-2:03 Parallel set of gears

Note: Schmidt Coupling and Chebyshev linkage come from Sariel's Unofficial Technic Builder's guide book. Credit to him for the clever designs.

A lot of people wanted instructions for the trammel of archimedes (0:43), so here they are! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sbrj_e5HZg&t=19s

Nice, the 1st one that transfers rotational movement is the one that exited me the most

Tip: Turn the subtitles on.

the red indicator is far superior to the wheel for explaining mechanical function in a straightforward manner

The trammel of archimedes is really cool, is my favorite

I really like the Chebishev linkage and the Schmidt coupling.

I love how this is a way to connect my current life as a mechanical engineering college student to my childhood love of legos

This makes me remember the kinematics classes that I had during my mechanical engineering studies... Back to the good ol'times

Last one is asking to be included in a gbc build 👌 nice

Another awesome video. Some of the things you do with legos blow my mind. Keep up the great work. I love you videos!

Is it just me or his video is so satisfying to watch.

Trammel if Archimedes is so cool, then it’s sped up and I was waiting for some shiz to break in a fiery explosion of lego parts

Thanks! These are super great, and they'll definitely assist me with my builds in the long run. Have a great Day!

Awesome, the last one is my favourite!

I understand now why people thought this was sorcery a long time ago

I find the Geneva mechanism and the trammel of Archimedes musically pleasing. They sound nice

0:16 I want this as a clock, it would be so relaxing.

The last one is like the Falkirk Wheel, nice

God this guy is a genius. I already subbed and can’t wait for more vids like this

The trammel of archimedes looks like it could be a car engine
