  • Somewhere in the polders of the Netherlands, a new crack climbing machine has been devised: the Crack Generator 3000. The machine allows to create all crack sizes (that's where the name comes from) between small fingers to full-on chimney. The machine is created by Gerke Hoekstra and lives at Rock Steady in Bussum, the Netherlands.
    Music: Fat Freddy's Drop - Roady
    Climbers: Gerke Hoekstra, Tim Halussy, Jeroen van Zeeland

    This is great!! Now if you divide the two blocks into three or for parts, with a pin system to secure them on the wall, you could make the crack getting wider and narrower, to simulate nature even more. :-)
    Edit: or make it go diagonally.

    Thank you so much for sharing your designs. I've seen all the pictures and videos you've shared.
    I'm going to try to start building this. However, I have one question.
    I think the crack will widen due to the force pushing on both sides of the crack when do off-width, and your device doesn't seem to have a clutch or stopper to withstand opposite force. How did you solve this problem?

    • @jeroenvanzeeland7812
      @jeroenvanzeeland7812  Před 8 měsíci

      This is basically just done by the "threaded rod" and the frcition of the boxes on the sliders. It never moved any more than intended. This didn't seem to be a problem - but I guess you could "fix the handle in place" (when rotating) if you are afraid of this. Good luck!

    Please please please share the design! This is the best looking crack trainer I’ve seen. Everything I’ve done so far is ok for hands and fists but having to put stuff on the inside of the crack makes it unusable for offwidth. From what I can tell you made two boxes with plywood sheets...how did you take the flex out of them?
