Actually it can work either way. Originally intended as an alternative method to convert reciprocating steam piston motion into rotary motion. Thanks for watching! Ron
i like this concept, but would it be a good idea, to reinforce the first Cog tooth, that engages with the vertical gears, so that that "slams" into a oposite reinforced part, before the "second tooth" engages the oposing teeth? Just thinking from a practical standpoint. But this would be very useful for certain industrial uses. Though a crank shaft has longer longevity.
Sorry, no plans available. Watch the original construction video from 2015 and follow my example. Making Movement 123 - Reciprocating Rack Mechanism ua-cam.com/video/Cas_tOSgz8Y/v-deo.html
The thickness of the wood block it's traveling thru is greater than the distance between 2 teeth, so you always have at least 1 tooth in the block at all times, keeping it centered.
@kindlin Yeah, I've seen the video since. Actually, it's just another extruded section under the wooden block that runs through the whole length of it, that slides across a groove in the two wooden blocks that hold it in place. The lids on these two blocks hold the linear part in place. The sliding block doesn't rely on the gears to constrain its motion, only to drive it
it has something hypnotizing to it .... nice one
linear pulsing using mechanical rotation. yes please!

I love this. I was confused at first and barely understood what was happening before it was suddenly fully presented.

Love it ! Plans available ??? 🤷🏼♂️

@@RonaldWalters2010 Brilliant ! Thank you ! 👍👍👍
It's interesting that the two partial cogs together don't have to make up 360 degrees.
How is the linear rack block constrained so that it can only move in a straight line? Is there some bearing underneath it or something?

Cool, but if that thing misses a gear it's going to disassemble itself quickly
Bro started a whole ne blood line💀💀💀
Is this for girls
