Cam – Can you Kill the Mosquito
Crank — The Myth of Sisyphus
Gear – Running Jerry
In this assignment, we built the mechanisms with paperboard first and then decorated them.
When I built the “Running Jerry” I found it hard to make gears match each other without precise calculation. So I made a piece of cardboard to use friction to force the legs to turn. However, the result was not very perfect. The cardboard sometimes leaned to the side and lost the connection with the gear. So, I learned that the parts need to have a certain thickness at least, if we want to use it with gears.
