aeh5040 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Here is a purely mechanical four-phase oscillator. Essentially it is a mechanical analogue of a two-cylinder pneumatic oscillator like this. There is just one motor, which powers two "direction selectors". Their outputs are fed into a add-subtract mechanism, and the outputs of this power two linear actuators which flip the selectors. The result is that the two actuators take turns to move back and forth. The outputs (orange wheels) could be used to power something else - not sure what! Maybe a GBC module or some kind of walker... Enjoy! Quote

Zerobricks Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Interesting! Reminds me on those pneumatic oscilators. Quote
timslegos Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Very cool mechanism, i cant imagine how long it took to figure out. tim Quote
