Design Needed

One Hundred Ninety Eighth Post: Design Needed

I haven’t updated Constructor’s Corner much because I have been working on a project. Well the design of the little project is almost complete. There is just one little problem. The motion I need for the machine to work is hard to create and hard to improvise.

What is that motion. It is an back and forth motion. Image an electric motor that can easily reverse directions in order to move an object one direction and than move it the other way back to the original position. This is not so easy with a combustion motor. That would require some kind of transmission similar to the ones in cars.

There are a couple of that I can think of to do this. All of which are really going out of the way to improvise. But I will do a write up in the next couple of weeks and you can share how you would solve it.

But with only 10 days until Christmas... May the Creative Force and Holiday Spirit be with You
