In order to design and make automata It is important to understand how different mechanisms work. No matter how complex a machine may be, it will still be based on simple mechanical principals. All automata make use of one or more mechanisms, these can be broken down into the 6 basic categories as follows:
- CAMS
- CRANKS
- GEARS
- RATCHETS
- LEVERS
- PULLEYS
You can make just about any machine or automata with these 6 mechanisms, either using one or a combination of them. To find out more click onto a subject.
