  • How to Make Mechanical 7 Segment Display from Cardboard
    In today's video I want to show you 7 segment display with unique machenism that is our own invention. There are 7 circles inside. Each circle has it's own trigger that read circle program and responds for opening/closing specific segment. Full assembly instructions are includede in the video!
    Materials you need: cardbaord, paper, rubber bands, springs and popsicle sticks. Enjoy :)

    • @CarthagoMike
      @CarthagoMike 5 років тому +1

      it is possible by using a winding mechanism, but it would give a few problems.
      The main issue would be that cardboard wouldn't be strong enough to support the loaded spring, so you'd need to make it out of wood (to keep the theme) or resin.
      Metal would be out of the question if you want to keep the rest cardboard, since it would weigh too much and thus slowly break the mechanism down by disforming the cardboard.
      A second problem would be the winding mechanism itself, which (unless you craft and tune its radars and springs entirely by hand with the right tools and knowledge) would give a few seconds to few minutes delay in every hour.
      Still, if time accuracy isn't a problem, then it is definitely possible. It would be quite a bulky project however.

    Mechanical engineering project for finishing up college?
    How long did the entire research, planing, designing, and building took? And did you get help by looking similar design projects?🤔

    What if you made a frame that is as deep as the number-segments' width and place it around the display area. This will hide the yellow part of a number shop that people from all sides can read it.
    I added an entire recession on my model that has black light reactive yellow paint.
    Thanks for the tutorial!
