WAVES - A Kinetic Sculpture

Hi everyone! Just released a video of my latest sculpture in my series of explorations into movements of the sea.

This one is inspired by the great work of @aeh5040 with his synchropods. Really happy with how this creation as well as the video turned out, recently upgraded all of my camera gear.

Hope you're all doing well!

brilliant, very nice use of differentials

I agree, this is cool.  Thanks for sharing, @Nalyd997

Excellent work! I can't quite see the details but you seem to have got the mechanism very compact. It is possible to reduce the spacing between "pods" (or your equivalent!) by one stud compared with synchropods. I did this in the pendulum wave music machine V2.

Thanks Aron, differentials are the mvp of technic:)

Thank you! I am planning on doing a less cinematic video in the near future focusing on the pattern and mechanism more closely. I essentially folded it in on itself compared to the synchropods. I love that application of pendulum motion you did for the pangolin, I rarely am building these days due to playing music so very cool to combine the two. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Looking forward to the further video!
