Lots of Cool Designs

Lots of Cool Designs

Hey,

long time no see.
I'll tell you about my best recent work, what's next, at the end of this Email.
But first my

1:
First off, my latest work. The Gear Fractal.
You may already know the Sierpinsky Octahedron. It's one of the most popular 3D models period, and I uploaded one a while ago.
It occurred to me the other day that I can combine it with my usual mechanism and make it mechanical.
The most interesting thing about this is that the mechanism can also be fractalised. Like this:0615.pngHopefully some future civilization can build this thing. I'll try to build this in a less complex, motorized version and post a video on YouTube in a little while.

2:
The Hinge Ball:
I'm not sure why, but this is my favorite design of myself. It's a Ball that changes shape and colors midair when you throw it. It's also very easy to print and put together.

3:
The Color Switch:
I was on a quest last year to find a color changing mechanism. Well, this year I finally found it. This Model uses a mathematical transformation to change colors. By now, I already know of 2 more mechanisms that can change colors.

What's Next?

I'm currently working on nothing less than turning a Sphere inside out. My most ambitious project, jet.
I am also going to post a lot more content on social media in the near future. Educational videos on who my stuff works and how I build it.

I'll start with a video on Jacobs Ladder, how it works, and if I can make an infinitely long one, next week, on YouTube.

That's it for this post/email.
Thanks for your continuous Support!

Have a lovely day,

Ruven Bals
