Sand automata are an obsession of mine. I’ve made an acrobat that worked pretty well and am now trying to make a dancing lady version based on a similar toy from the 1900’s. You want the hole in the hopper to be fairly small, and the wheel can also be fairly small if the thing you are spinning is light. The old toys were generally paper figures with an extra layer of glass protecting them. If you find the right ratio, the figure will perform a long time…much longer than a wound spring toy. Thank you for a great explanation of how these work!

Ps: seeing Picard here and there was also awesome lol PS2: I just watched a video on a channel called House of Automata, also UK people. Quite awesome and simple to make indeed!

Cool! I’ll check them out too. I was going to get a Red Dwarf reference in there too but I thought that might be going too far! 🤣
