The Crucible’s Introduction to Mechanical Sculpture Class March 3, 2008
Oakland, California 94607
Dive into mechanical movement and kinetic gesture. This course is an introduction to the physics of such mechanisms as gears, CAM, cranks, rack and pinion, pulleys, reciprocators, raatchets, linkages, and returns. Each week you’ll build new mechanisms and by the last class you’ll learn how these basic mechanical units can be fitted together to create compound mechanisms. This course is designed for students who have little or no experience with kinetics ad the techniques taught can be used in all sorts of projects.
