Grasshopper Beam Engine constructed to study the geometry that produces the parallel motion of the piston rod. In this model the power is provided by a 12 volt solenoid and the "valve gear" is a micro switch operated by a cam.

  • Great you made a machine that makes your parents think your getting lucky =D

  • yeh probably 12 volts

  • 12 volt solenoid.. just an uninformed guess

  • how are you making the piston reciprocate?

  • @hasanjohnh ....repeatedly.

  • 3 people would rather see Rebecca Black

  • nicly done, i like how you used the fixed link on the wall, with the rised moving vertical link to make a parrel motion over the solenoind/piston, i have only seen that arrangment in some old books, I really need to start making some of those old designs. great work

  • well done!

  • Interesting view, I rather like the concept of turning the model rather than moving the camera!
