This reminds me a lot of the Spirograph toy. Personally, I prefer your version, both because of its elegance and smooth movement, as well as the simplicity of its design.

I have never seen one of those that were not tight to move, and the key here is to achieve as little friction as possible. If there is such a thing that easily moves, I still want to use a wooden gimbal for this project, because of both its visual appeal and challenge to construct. Not trying to shoot down ideas; just explaining what I want. Thanks.

Thanks. I know you want to make one, lol. Putting bearings in the gimbal is proving to be tough, though. Anyhow, you just have to look up harmonograph if you never saw one before, it blew my mind.

We were discussing that in the comments. That is a really interesting idea, but a gimbal-router would carve a portion of a sphere, and a spoon dish is sort of elliptical. I intend to build one someday, anyhow.

I actually considered that for a project/video at one time. I wanted to make a ceiling mounted sand pendulum in my entryway, where there is a high ceiling that would allow for a long radius. A heavy enough plumb-bob with a long cable would be quite effective against the friction caused by the sand. It still would require a simple 2-axis needle gimbal at the top, but it wouldn't be too difficult. The better half decided against it. Instead, we have a schefflera there.

I've seen an inverted one similar to those used to create the Japanese Sand gardens by basically using a pendulum with a pointed plumb bob attachment on the end of a small rod. When set in motion, it's small tip draws circular and elliptical patterns in the fine sand. Easy to erase and produce another one. You project however, does seem quite interesting.

608 bearings measure 22 mm x 8 mm x 7 mm, they should be perfect for this project and they cost about $15 or less for a set of 8. You can find them at your local skateboard shop. A mortise bit should be enough to set them into the wood/plywood darn near perfectly assuming you have the right size mortise bit to work with or suffer using a Dremel. This would be great as a stabilizer for photograph. Since I have the bearings, I should try it using this info. You can also recycle bearings from old VCR's. The spindles have excellent bearings in them.

It would seem that we have similar brains: mine talks to me also. A very simple 2-axis gimbal design does already exist for this application, but I want my H-graph to employ a fancy wooden compound gimbal. As for the bearing problem, I am optimistic that I have a good plan for how I'm going to attack it.

Could you not shave a side of a ball flat for your plane then capture the ball in a cage perhaps a large bearing . Or am i missing something ? Oh great channels you have enjoy both. Or instead of capturing the ball suspend it with a spring wouldn't that allow for all axis of movement plus up and down ? Now i will thinking about this for days !!

The pendulum seems to have drawn a perfect propeller. That's really interesting. It even has lines representing dimension.
@pocket83
8 жыл бұрын
I wonder if that's actually the case; a perfectly aerodynamic propeller probably could be found to have a relationship with some more simple, naturally reproducible phenomenon, just like this. That was a mouthful. Anyhow, I once found this teardrop shape (you can see it at the end of the "drawing machine marker" vid) that resembled an ideal Acheulean hand axe, just by drawing around a circle that was at the end of a beam. Here is my point, and it's an important one: All things physical, and thus, all forms or patterns, intentionally conceived or otherwise, have a mathematical structure that defines them. You can draw a hand-axe using equations that can be graphed, and those mathematical elements can be captured by simple machines. When you build a machine, you are expressing a mathematical truth, and each part is one of the pieces of that expression. This is deeply philosophical stuff. Do we define mathematics, or are we just an expression of it? Good luck out there.

Friction causes the "orbit" to decay, but what causes it to precess? Is there some asymmetry in how it swings?
@pocket83
8 жыл бұрын
The initial push causes the shape to become (noticeably) elliptical. As for precession, I'm not sure if that would be visible here, but I will tell you this: I spent a few _days_ trying to understand elliptical precession while working on the harmonograph, and I was still confused at the end. After some really intense and weird math, reading, and speculations, I don't think I came to any satisfactory conclusions. I would need to consult a physics professional, but to be honest, I'm a bit skeptical that we understand it entirely. Of course, a harmonograph is an incredibly complex system of physical phenomena, so I will concede that there were plenty of variables/effects that I might not have controlled for. If you have interest in the subject, I would start with the wiki on the Foucault pendulum. Sounds easy enough at first!
@-no-handle
8 жыл бұрын
Something to think about. Good question. But it makes me think will it still precess if the initial force applied to the object is exactly perpendicular to the line joining the center (of the whole system) and the point of release? I would want to know whether it will still behave in the same way!
