This Strange Mechanism Was Unexpectedly Complicated. But What For?
Ойындар
Welcome to another episode of Scrap Mechanic! Today I am recreating this strange mechanism that appears to be a combination of some of the mechanisms I have built in the past. At first glance it appears pretty simple, but the closer I look, the more complex it appeared. I have no idea what it would be used for and why it needs so many parts, but I want to build it either way!

Yes but you have a turn point in the midle while everything is blocked and you have 2 diferent point when it turns, so it minds that you can give two separate works. I mean, this type of mechanism you create it when you need it, not you create the mechanism and after you think how to use it

The difference is that the secondary wheel rotates around the same axis as the input shaft. It’s Used in watch making since it’s incremental like the first one, but is used when the output needs to be in line with the input.

@@suicidalbanananana these mechanisms often dont need a real purpose else than be buildable and precise cuz it looks for me like a test mechanism for people learning these things to build. so basically you get a building plan 3-4 months before you need to deliver this like a doctor or professor for his title to legitamently have dr. or prof. in germany if you want your master in many industrial jobs you need to do something like that if you are working in the metal industry and often this piece is only the testing for the actual build and its the meaning of them to be complex and precise cuz thats whats the test for to test you and not the mechanism. sry for my bad english im german and dont know all these words in english and google was down^^
It's a basic moving gear to solid dock mechanism. You can use it to do a solid shift of a minute hand, with the center 60 gear being constantly moving. Or a solid day shift hand, with the center 24 gear constantly moving. It's a design that allows the same goal as a Geneva device, but with a more stable transfer for higher ratio changes.

Yeah, this is how an escapement mechanism works. And the yellow part is to stop unwanted rotation and ensure that regardless of other forces outside this mechanism will not adversely affect the movement. This could be used in a clock, but an analog clicker counter seems more likely. I agree that they would likely be stacked with a mechanism that turns the next disk in the series by one tick.

Hey scrapman, I'm leeching off this comment so you'll see this but the inner wheel shouldn't be attached to the big green wheel. This causes the rotation the speed up / slow down when the big green one rotates

Watching you build these is both satisfying and painful, lol. You have a grasp on scientific method, which saves your lack of engineering. Still love your videos. Please do more. P.S. I am a 51 year old Architect/Engineer/Mason with a massion for Science and Physics. Which is the reason why I enjoy(and hate) watching you figure these out, lol.
Thumbs up for ScrapMan's quote of the day.
This "mechanisms" series you got going on reminds me of what's done on the MakersMuse with 3D printed parts. And I hope you continue to make them! Because I love watching them!
Glad to Assist you with your Dilemma ScrapMan! This Mechanism is what we call a Rotation-Based Counting System! This Mechanism Measures 5 Full Rotations per Full Revolution (1800/360 Reduction). This Application, if utilized in Mechanical Clocks, would be used to measure One Unit of Time over Five Subunits (1/5 Reduction), which effectively means you're Measuring Seconds-per-Minute (or Minutes-per-Hour) over the Course of Five Rotations, which is Twelve Seconds (or Minutes) per Rotation. (60/5=12). Scientists considered changing the Standard Time Reduction to Fifths instead of Sixths, but later Rejected it because of Potential Inaccuracies that could add up over the course of Years. The more you know!
Can you create the Rutan Boomerang?

Hi Scrapman! So, recently, I've lost my ROBLOX account of 4 - 5 years (I'm still trying to get it back), and I've been kinda sad lately. But, one of your videos resurfaced on my recommended, and so I started watching again. Your videos have brought me back up and I really appreciate it. Thank you and I hope your channel surpasses 1 Mil (Also congrats on 700k). Bye!
Beginning to think that adding some of these mechanisms together to make an actual working mechanical clock would be cool.
That hug bit put some tears in my eyes...
I think the problem is related to the distance between the center and the pins on the big wheel, because of being limited to the block grid that distance means slight variations in angle, i feel like moving the purple pin inwards by 1 block would've put it more in line with the 36' angle difference of the rest of the pins. That said, it still made for an interesting build, keep these coming! :D
21:18 this is the face of a man who needs a hug _*sending virtual hug_
I think that channel just makes hundreds of different, sometimes over complicated ways to solve one problem

Exemp this video I was sleeping I live in Omaha Nebraska the time was 8 am
scrapman, i'll try to explain this system as simply as i can. this is a form of intermittent gearing (it serves a similar fuction to a geneva drive in sone ways) used for translating a constant input into a non constant(intermittent) one. the most notable example of such a mechanism being used would be on a mechanical clock. you want the second hand to only tick once every second and don't want it to move constantly, both because it would make telling the time harder and also because it would cause the spring to loose it's tension very quickly and require constant rewinding. the secondary sliding piece that interacts with the smaller pins is simply a form of ratchet to prevent it from going out of alignment or spinning freely, notice how in the original 3d rendering it makes contact with the pin just as the main arm is releasing the large pin and vice versa. i'm trying to think of an analogy for it but the best i can think of would be how on a socket wrench there is a ratchet to stop it from going backwards the wrong way. but yeah, variations of this sort of gear are sometimes seen in either analogue clocks or large industrial mechanisms that require an intermittent movement for one reason or another. i recall seeing something similar to this on a very old printing machine where a long reel of paper was fed in, it would stay still long enough for the printing to take place and then move the paper to the next section to print again in a kind of jerky/stop-start motion.
13:20 OH MY GOD YOU FINALLY HEARD ME SCREAMING AT THE COMPUTER!
A EARLY UPLOAD? great stuff man, nice to have it erlier cus it's not midnight when I watch the video lol.
This was a great video all around but the best was "But ask if they want a hug first"
if you build it on a bigger scale you can mitigate a bit of that "not 100% the exact degree due to grid building" due to how much 1 degree differ from 1 meter away vs 10 meters away
Realy Cool! Enjoyed it!
Scrapman looks like a happy grandpa seeing his creation working
These videos are so satisfying...
I love the hug=stability near the end
The hug is there to prevent it from spinning when the driving arm is not connected. You don't have any load on the disc so nothing happens (and the speed appears "improved" when it derails), but imagine that was a wheel driving up a hill. As soon as the arm releases the pin, the wheel will immediately start rolling backwards since there is nothing to prevent it from doing so.
Sometimes a hug is all that keeps you going.
Thanks for the life lesson at the end
Honestly I think the problem was that the yellow pin had a friction issue with the purple slider thingy I also believe it was that the yellow pin was on the wrong block so that is why it got the friction issue but the other pins didn’t because the yellow pin would be underneath the purple slider causing the friction issue and other pin weren’t because they were not underneath the purple slider while it was letting go of the pin to move and grab the purple pin For short: my theory is that the yellow was having the friction issue when the purple pin was in the spot to be grabbed
This could be a series especially if you hook the contraptions up to other contraptions

Well, you could have stacked 5 rods with pins on each end on top of each other with bearings in between and give them a 36 degree rotation to make the circle. (and use pistons to correct the heights)

Deletes Block Dosnet Realise that Block Was the Whole Problem great vid scrapmam XD
Are any other engineers yelling at the screen half way through the vidro?! Lol
Try making a piano tile mechanism. It’s actually a quite interesting mechanic!
In case you are still wondering what this thing does: It provides constant periodical rotations up to 180 degree(exclusively) per cycle. The rotation angle is configured by distance between two pivots. And, yes, you fked it up - your rotation was not 72 degree per tick and that caused almost all your problems. To fix it, you need to place the outer pivot closer to the center.
13:06 FINALLY!!!
Scrapman, I got an idea. Make a beyblade and surround it with magnets facing outwards and use thrusters to rotate it. Use a swivel to cancel out the beys rotation and place another swivel on top of it and place some thrusters to use for changing directions (in instruments of destruction)
This seems to be an over engineered Geneva mechanism. It’s what old timey movie projectors use to advance the film one frame quickly then hold it in place for a short time so you can see the frame. Of course the real deal goes much faster but it’s extremely impressive you made it work at all!

When you had more wiggle room, the thing couldn’t pull it enough, when you changed it to the big ones it had more room to pull it further
You could use this on a mechanical clock, so that from a constantly spinning motor it will tick the minutes over one at a time. This way when it's half past the minute, you don't see the bottom half of 5 and the top half of 6. It will show 5 fully until it's time to tick over to 6.
"hold on this isn't supposed to be there". proceeds to fix the cycle without realizing it.
That mechanism is used for clock tower clocks because it’s ticking in the animation

I'm not sure if this has any name, but it looks like it would be significantly more compact than the Geneva mechanism, since the output wheel and input are aligned and very little extends past the edges. Additionally, the Geneva mechanism is primarily good with an output that has little load on it, because it has a pretty awful mechanical disadvantage with a much longer lever arm working against it than this mechanism does. Related to the mechanical advantage, the Geneva mechanism moves in an extremely jerky way, particularly with outputs with small numbers of steps
