Double Geneva Mechanism. A paper project for you to download and make. For each turn of the crank the index wheel advances quarter of a turn twice with a short pause, or dwell, between each movement. #automata #paperengineering #EssentialMechanism www.robives.com/project/doub...

Reciprocating rotating #essentialmechanism to print out and make. Turn the handle to make the vertical shaft turn back and forth. An interesting starting point for your own #PaperAutomata !#paperengineering #automata www.robives.com/project/reci...

An #EssentialMechanism project to download and make. As the gear turns, it meshes first with one rack, then the other, alternately lifting and dropping them in a satisfying reciprocating motion. #paperengineering #papercraft www.robives.com/project/reci...

Slow turn, big charm! One gear rotation for every twenty four cranks. This updated worm gear #EssentialMechanism is a quiet celebration of paper movement. Perfect for curious makers, educators and anyone who loves paper engineering! #automata #paperengineering

Spinner #EssentialMechanism to download, print out and make. The paper bellows drives the turbine fast!
Use this essential mechanism to bring your own designs to life. Add a pirouetting dancer to the disk, or a dog chasing a cat or an orbiting space craft...#maker #automata
