Crank Mechanisms Visualized
MathMotion used computer simulations to show how different kinds of crank mechanisms work. The surprisingly relaxing animation demonstrates 12 designs, including sliders, yokes, cams, escapements, and linkages, assembling each piece by piece before setting it in motion to reveal the geometry and mechanical principles behind it.
