Why this channel isn't bigger is beyond me. I have a handful of people that I support, Mr Carlson's lab, Blondie hacks, and now here. It's the combination of tone, quality of content and, frankly, heart.
Very nice idea Leo, and great implementation. I'm not really a flower guy, but I think you might be onto something here (from a commercial perspective...)
was looking for stirling engines a few days ago, today was recommended your channel. subscribed. this video made me want to share this idea i drew yesterday: how about stirling flowers? with chains of rods that bring heat from an external source, even like a volcano... and water cooling 'petals and lotuses' that house internal electricity generating pistons and pipes... which -slowly- move and brush...
Think you could show how you decided on the lighting solution for each one. I seen the ring of smd leds which was cool. I like you am a sucker for art, clocks, finding ways to make leds not cheesy and avoiding microcontrollers unless to control a motor.
Great video and beautiful flower.. the motion appears to be very smooth. I've been searching for a flower like yours for my Tiki project. Would you be willing to share or sell your STL file so I can try it myself?
I admire you and the quality content you post Leo. Just discovered your channel and I'm confident that it'll help me on my electronics journey. Saludos
as always, you are an inspiration for me (an aspiring R&D roboticist/electromechanical engineer) I wanted to ask, could you please describe how you make those bent sheet metal parts? Would make a really cool video!!
this is such a cool project! if you were using a higher powered LED perhaps you could use the waste heat to actuate the flower petals using a shape memory alloy like nitinol?
Incredibly beautiful! I love how meticulous you are with your work. Let me ask you something. I’m no robotics engineer. But how would you make it look like a synthetic vine is creeping or growing?
Thank you so much! This video helped me a lot with a project I'm working on. If you are willing to share the STL file for the flower mechanism would be a blessing :)
How about a wax actuator like in washing mashines? Should be enough and needs Not more than a Heat source and some wax. Or get the finished part as they are manufactured in the billions.
