Functionmodel Historic Hammer mill

thingiverse

Since the 14th century, hammer mills have been a part of history. They were originally built along rivers and streams to harness the power of water for iron forging. Just like its inspiration, my hammer mill operates with precision. Water drives the waterwheel, which sets the cam-studded shaft in motion. The cams periodically strike the ends of the hammer handles, lifting the hammer heads into action. As soon as the cams release their grip on the hammer handle, the hammers fall back onto the anvil, starting the cycle anew. This hammer mill is not only a fascinating model, but it also clearly demonstrates how a hammer mill works in a visually engaging way. Dimensions with waterwheel: Length: 261 mm Width: 262 mm Height: 180 mm Dimensions with crank: Length: 200 mm Width: 261 mm Height: 120 mm To complete the assembly, you will need: - 6 x Hex Bolt M3 x 18 - 1 x Countersunk screw M4 x 18 - 1 x Hexagon nut M4
