The Project
Lindsey Andrade and Josh Sapers
Design a wind sculpture that uses gears to create a motion. Provide three part drawings and an assembly drawing.
Technical Drawings
Mechanical Design teaches computer aided design and technical drawing skills. The course this semester was centered on creating wind sculptures for the Olin "O". We learned structures, cams, linkages, and transmissions to create our wind sculptures in pairs and groups.
Design a wind sculpture that uses gears to create a motion. Provide three part drawings and an assembly drawing.
Design a wind sculpture that uses cams and four bar linkages to create motion. Provide three part drawings and an assembly drawing.
Design a complete wind sculpture with at least one cam, one linkage, one set of gears, and one chain or belt. Provide part drawings for all parts and one assembly per person.
