Counterbalance Horse Toy

This mechanism shares resemblance to the Balancing Fishing Captain Toy but features only one degree of freedom, unlike its counterpart which had three. The "Analysis" image illustrates the mechanical properties of each component and the overall assembly, as well as determining period and frequency. Inspired by a picture I came across, this design can be viewed on iOS and Android devices through Simlab App (free), while animation is created using GifApp.
