had been working on my mechanical toy for more than one month...
it isn't a simple task to complete..

firstly, after receiving the materials, we need to
start thinking of the design we want.. after that,
we need to start working...

i used pieces of wood to cut out the shapes of
the chicken and worm. then brought it home to
paint it.. drilling of holes and painting the rest
of the parts of my mechanical toy were all
done in the workshop during lesson time..

all parts are then nailed or glued together
and lastly, my toy is done!=)

Spur gears are toothed wheels which mesh together to transmit rotary motion and torque.

When two gears are used it is called a simple gear train. If one of these gears is attached to a motor or a crank then it is called the driver gear. The gear that is turned by the driver gear is called the driven gear.

Gears are used to increase or decrease the speed or power of rotary motion. This is achieved by using gear wheels with different numbers of teeth. To see this happen, alter the number of teeth on the gear wheels in the animation.

In simple gear trains the driver and driven gears rotate in opposite directions.

Bevel Gears

Bevel gears work in pairs and in a similar fashion to worm and worm wheels, they transmit torque and rotary motion through 90º. The coffee grinder in the photo shows a practical application of bevel gears.

When bevel gears have the same number of teeth on each wheel they are called mitre gears. For every complete turn of the input shaft the output shaft turns once as well. The Chair Ride drive mechanism uses mitre gears.

When gear wheels with different numbers of teeth are used, an increase or decrease in the speed of output shaft rotation will result.

Run the animation with 'show markers' selected and you will see that for every one complete turn of the input shaft the output shaft turns four times.

Worm and Worm Wheel

Like bevel gears a worm and worm wheel transmits torque and rotary motion through 90º. The Speedway ride animation uses a worm and worm wheel to drive the front wheels of the lead car.

Worm and worm wheel gears are used when large speed reductions are required. The worm, which is attached to the spindle of the motor, has one tooth and takes the form of a screw thread.

The worm wheel in the photo (above) has 30 teeth. Therefore, the motor spindle has to turn 30 times in order to make the output shaft turn once.

Mechanical linkages are made up of a series of levers which are connected together.

Linkages can change the direction of a movement, alter the size of a force or make things move in a particular way.

Parallel Motion Linkages are used to make two or more parts of a mechanism move together and stay parallel to each other as the linkage moves.

Bees

This model has three bees attached to a platform that rotates freely round a central pole. As the bees are rotated, the platform is forced to rise as the red strings twist and tighten themselves around the pole.

The bees are then released and the weight of the platform then makes the strings unwind, lowering the platform and starting the process all over again.

Cams and Followers

A cam is a specially shaped piece of wood, metal or hard wearing plastic, which is usually fixed to a rotating shaft.

A follower is held against the cam, either by its own weight or by a spring. As the cam turns (rotary motion) the follower moves up and down (reciprocating motion).

The distance and speed at which the follower moves depends on the shape of the cam.

Triangular Cam

Followers working with triangular cams do not have a dwell period like other cams. This means they move continuously as the cam turns. Triangular cams are found in mechanisms that use clapping movements.

Pe

ar shaped cam

A pear shaped cam has a long dwell period during which time the follower does not move. This is ideal for the 'Sailing Ship' model where various parts move in sequence as the crank is turned.

Circular cam

A circular cam is also known as an 'eccentric' cam. The centre of rotation of the cam is offset from the centre of the circle.

Types of motions

Oscillating motion is movement backwards and forwards in a circular arc. E.g. playground swings (photo) and clock pendulums.

When something moves in a circle it is called rotary motion.

Reciprocating motion is a backwards and forwards movement in a straight line. Sewing machine needles work with this type of motion.

Linear motion is movement in a straight line. An example of linear motion is the cutting arm of a paper guillotine as it travels from one side of the machine to the other.

Rubik's cube is a mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor. originally, it was named "Magic Cube" and was renamed by Ideal Toys in 1980 and also won the 1980 German Game of the Year. the puzzle comes in four versions: 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4 and 5x5x5.

video below shows how to solve a Rubik's Cube=)
