The Tipping Marble Clock Engineezy 2024-12-26 | The Tipping Marble Clock•••A clock that tells time with marbles. The crank-slider-rack-pinion mechanisms lifts the ball to the top where it rests on a tipping time segment. Each marble increments the time by 1. When the segment fills up, the whole thing tips dumping all the marbles down to the bottom except 1. The last marble drops down to the track segment below, indicating that 10 minutes have passed. At the top of the hour, the chain reaction happens again, this time with the middle segment emptying. This cause a marble to drop to the hours segment, causing that track to tip as well, resetting the clock back to 1:00.•••This is a downloadable model that you can build yourself! Link is in bio.

From converting a stepper motor into a working generator using a full bridge rectifier, to powering this generator with a marble-paddle wheel, to feeding the paddle wheel with hundreds of marbles- there were some interesting challenges I encountered along the way, and some satisfying solutions. This is probably the world's least efficient way to store energy, but it might be the most fun.
The Binary Zipper Funnel Engineezy 2024-11-01 | The Binary Zipper Funnel 🤐•••Sometimes you can only learn by doing, and in this case I learned that I spent a whole week designing a mechanical latch system, only to realize it wasn’t necessary with the right funnel design.

The Marble Pixel Art Machine Engineezy 2024-10-16 | The Marble Machine that Makes Pixel Art #AvnetPartner #AvnetInnovator•••If you’ve been wondering why I’ve been sorting marbles, it’s because I needed to split marbles into their individual colors before using them to create pixel art.

Then the automatic release bar opens up, dumping out the marbles, allowing the whole process to be repeated!•••This project was made possible with the sponsorship by @Avnet•••Avnet has a team that can help you make design and component selection decisions to elevate your product to the next level.

Making Marble Slides from Acrylic Engineezy 2024-10-11 | Acrylic Slides by Thermoforming•••With my marble machine completed, I decided that they needed one more improvement- clear slides. I had never tried oven-baking acrylic before, but I had a feeling this would work! So I created flat surfaces off the curved slide walls in Solidworks, flattened them, then cut them out of acrylic on my laser. I also printed bucks to form the slide walls using PETG (PETG has a decently high melting point, which could hopefully withstand the oven hot acrylic). After leaving the acrylic pieces in the over for 15 minutes, they came out completely flexible, enough so that I could wrap them onto the forms. After cooling, I screwed them in to 3D printed acrylic slide bases and attached them to the machine.•••To see more about my marble machine, check out the full length video (link in bio)•••#engineering #learnengineering #engineeringstudent #mechanicalengineering #mechanicaldesign #solidworks #3dmodeling #fabrication

Super Speed Marble Sorter pt. 3 Engineezy 2024-08-23 | Super Speed Marble Sorter pt. 3•••I started this project searching for a way to sort marbles quickly, and after some research found the vertical paddle sorter. Using fast motors, each paddle can open or close each lane corresponding to a marble colour. This worked well, but the problem was for 8 different colors, you need 7 motors.•••I was looking for an alternative, and originally decided against a servo because it’s too slow. Then I realized I could just gear it up, and it would save me 6 motors while making the control easier as well. Now I have an oddly satisfying machine along with a finalized design that’s ready to be implemented in the larger project!•••Stay tuned to see what it is 🙌•••#engineering #learnengineering #engineeringstudent #mechanicalengineering #mechanicaldesign #electronics #ballmachines

Eventually, this will be scaled way up to fit on the back of the car, but first I need to make sure the concept works. So I connected a bucket of bubble solution to the semi-circular rings via a 12 volt pump, and used a servo to automatically open and close the rings. Once the cotton covered rings are fully saturated with bubble solution, closing them and opening them creates a bubble film. The motion of the wagon generated airflow that automatically blows the super long, beautiful bubbles.•••#bubbles #bubblemachine #bubblepops #engineering #mechanicalengineer #engineeringisfun #engineeringfun #mechanism

Mechanism Breakdown: Slappy Contraption #mechanicalengineering #mechanicaldesign Engineezy 2024-06-24 | Mechanism Breakdown: Slappy Sculpture•••I decided to challenge myself and get the whole mechanism working off of a single motor. The biggest challenge was the activation lever- without it, the arm would kind of skip forward at the end of the tooth profile of the charge-up gear due to the force of the elastic. Adding the lever gave the charge-up gear a second to disengage, before a screw head activated the lever that released the arm.

3D Printed Catapult Game Engineezy 2024-03-02 | Sprocket Siege, the 3D printable game 🏰•••While simple in its premise, this tabletop game is actually pretty challenging! Using the gear actuated catapult, your goal is to take out your opponent’s players before they take out yours. You can build and configure your castle in any way you like. The best part- if you want to expand the game you can just 3D print more parts for it!•••Files now available on Thangs- link in my bio•••#game #skillgame #catapult #3dprint #3dprinting #3dprintable #3dprintdesign #3dprintableminiatures #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming

Is This Perpetual Motion? Engineezy 2024-02-23 | Is this perpetual motion?•••Physics says that perpetual motion is impossible because there is always some kinetic energy being lost to heat due to friction. So how is it that the ball is always returning to the same point on the track?•••Beneath the cover is some cheeky electronics that tell an electro magnet to turn on and off at exactly the right time to keep the ball moving. This magnet is silently adding energy in to the system, giving the illusion of perpetual motion!•••#perpetualmotion #physics #engineering #learnphysics #arduino #arduinoproject #physicsfun #perpetual #learnengineering
The Paint Flinging Robot Engineezy 2024-01-25 | A robot engineered specifically to never repeat the same thing twice- with almost 3 trillion possible combinations of paintings this robot was designed to use the power of chaos to create unique paintings every time. Equipped with servo motors and arduino code, there are controls for the fling power, rotation, colour selection, and even the profile of the scoop, which can all be randomly selected to create the paintings.

I used to play tons of rollercoaster tycoon as a kid, and I spent a good portion of my life planning to be a rollercoaster designer. Dreams have finally come true as I formulated this track. Dreams were then shattered as I realized it was going to be weeks before I could see the thing working in real life. The lifting mechanism uses a couple linkages that work in tandem to raise the ball up to the top of the track. Then gravity takes over as the ball travels through a loop de loop and a helix before finding it's way onto one of 3 tracks that make up the clock face. The track selection is handled by a gear system that is connected to a cam and follower mechanism. After 10 minutes go by, the balls on the lowest track get released via another cam and follower mechanism. The selector then selects the next track, and a ball is deposited. This is repeated every 10 minutes until an hour has passed, where the same mechanism selects the top track. After 12 hours have gone by, all 3 tracks get emptied, and the cycle starts again.#ELEGOO #DIY #3dprinting #3dprintedart #engineering #mechanicalengineering #3dmodeling #rollercoaster #clock #clockwork

The Ping Pong Launcher Engineezy 2023-11-25 | Ping Pong Procrastination Project•••Not sure where this one came from, but its almost grown into a real project… First step is the pong launcher- With a crazy overpowered brushless motor, some 3d printed gears, and a laser cut base, a handheld ping pong ball launcher is born. This thing is pretty dangerous, but the potential is there. We will have to wait for next week’s procrastination to find out if the whole system will work!•••#pingponglauncher #engineering #mechanicaldesign #mechanicalengineering #balllauncher #prototyping #designprocess #procrastination
