As I mentioned in an earlier episode, I also believe this is an entirely unique design. The 60 deg decision is quite pleasing aesthetically, and actually, quite sound from an engineering perspective. Well done! I usually watch while relaxing with my Sunday morning coffee here in Canada, so I'm looking forward to the next episode.
I second your notion that is a unique design. None of the RBS sculptures that I have seen in the past have taken this approach for lifting the ball to the top of the sculpture.
Essa construção é linda pela ideia simples e pelo design limpo, uma solução minimalista! Me chama atenção que a espiral que se eleva dialoga, em cada ponto de sua altura, com a espiral logarítmica da base, por causa do ângulo de 60º imposto aos apoios. Uma aparição inusitada para os entusiastas do φ!
Hi, Thanks so much for you comment. I just spent a bit of time reading about φ and Phi and Golden Ratios. This probably means that when I start to design RBS6, I will want to include them on purpose! :)
There is something 'Golden Ratio-y' about your layout that is so pleasing to the eye, although I can't quite put my finger on it. Perhaps an arch to support the 60 degree outer track uprights across the narrow part so the mirrored symmetry is continued? Roll on Episode 6!
Watching your work has been very inspiring. Thank you for giving the world a gimpse of your passion. Wondering if you have considered making a marble clock?
I have to say, the youtube algorithm really blessed me with your channel, instantly hooked! I am very curious as to how you're going to let the track move away from the pushing rod
Enthralling as always. There is much better balance between your voice and the background music in this episode. It is much easier to make out what you are saying and easier on the ears in general.
