Desktop Tracker-Rocker

Design based on my original 6ft. high model, this Tracker-rocker, powered by a AC synchronous motor, is only 14" high x 9" diameter. It's made of brass, acrylic, Baltic birch ply, and walnut veneer. This piece is the first in series of desktop works. The prototype is in a private collection.

but will it blend? no, but can i buy one or at least get the schematics to build one myself?

The original has been sold. I'll be happy to make another, on commission. Sorry, no plans. -B

The original Tracker-rocker, also sold, is about 6ft. high, with a 4ft. diameter ring. You can see it in another video, on my channel page. Anyway, the small one is $2400. At some point, I hope to find a way to cast the pylons, which will bring the cost down, somewhat.

Dude I need to have some sort of chat with you because I just figured out how to create electricity cleanly and fuelessly and self sustaining. The funny thing about dc motors is that if you put premade electricity into one it spins the little knob on it but if you spin the knob then electricitycomes out of the motor. If you hook this up to one of those motors ( near the base with the triangular peices with string connected to them) then electricity could be made in the most beneficial way possi

Awwww Dude! Sorry to say, I don't get involved in producing energy - I only waste it!

@BLitwin i just want to make sure before i make a fool of my self but deos this plug into a wall or is the ball moving it cuz if it is plugged in i defeated the purpose hehe

The piece is battery powered by a miniature electric motor, inside the base. To me, fools are the ones who don't ask questions. -B

These creations have a wonderfully elegant mechanical beauty.

@BLitwin so, how much? size is up to you. what ever is cheaper. like big because it is easier to form or small becaouse it is less material. what ever is better for you.
