PI DAY Build - A Binary Expansion of Pi
TechnicBrickPower posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This Pi Day model demonstrates how to approximate a gearing ratio of Pi by representing Pi as a binary number and using differentials arranged in a chain formation to create the binary representation. Each differential implements 1 binary digit. If the binary digit is zero the differential can be replaced by a gearing ratio of a half to reduce the number of differentials required. This model has 23 binary digits and approximates Pi to 7 significant figures, uses 202 gears and is driven by a median PF motor. -
PI Day Gearing Ratio MOC using two differentials
TechnicBrickPower posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Today is PI DAY! A very important day for all mathematicians to celebrate. What better way to celebrate than combining it with Lego Technic?! Here I present a PI Day special Lego Technic MOC that produces a gearing ratio of PI to 6 decimal places. This is using two differentials to produce a gearing ratio of 355 to 113. Happy PI Day. -
My second entry for the ABS builder challenge. The seed part is the dark red Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 1 1/3 with Curved Top. Since today is Pi day, I thought it would be nice to make a little tribute for it. Thanks for looking, C&C welcome.
