https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUQPY8zpeMY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCvOido6Hhg "Perpetual Motion da Vinci Style III" is the third perpetual motion machine in my series of Mr. da Vinci's overbalanced wheel models, designed specifically for a classroom environment. I created these two new additions to inspire classroom discussion of Mr. da Vinci's work and was excited to convert his two-dimensional designs into stylized three-dimensional models for the classroom. As in my previous version "Perpetual Motion Davinci Style II", perpetual motion begins when the model is tilted backwards, activating a magnet that triggers a reed switch which turns on a motor. The motor then powers an overbalanced wheel via a rubber band transmission. Perpetual motion ends when either the battery runs out, the rubber band breaks, the motor fails, or by simply tilting the model forward and tapping near the reed switch to disengage the magnet. I likely forgot some files, so if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask as I make plenty of mistakes. Designed using Autodesk Fusion 360, sliced with Cura 4.0, and printed in PLA on an Ultimaker 2+ Extended and an Ultimaker 3 Extended.
