in your title you call it a ''useless'' machine but seeing as this is highly entertaining to watch, i'd argue that this machine isn't useless at all. it's use is to entertain anyone who watches this video , seeing this piece of engineering at work.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This demonstrates why birds are never hit by propeller blades on windmills. The mechanical synchronization with the turntable keeps them out of harms way.
LOL. Thanks for watching.
This is by far the best film you have yet done BB. The attention to detail is impressive in itself. Bravo my intellectual friend.
Thanks Mark, I put a lot of effort in to this one.
This is both beautiful and an engineering marvel :) Fitting all these mechanisms together must have taken days!
Thank you Adrien. I've been at it pretty much solid for the last 2 weeks, if you count the filming in as well - I built it, then had to take it apart and rebuild it for the filming of it! Glad you liked it.
Your efforts are appreciated
👍😎
The abacus is just chilling
This is one of the most interesting, put-together, gear-mechanical, electronic machine I have ever seen.
Thanks Michearl, much appreciated.
This is awesome! I wondered what you had been up to!
The title is great haha I was also grinning the whole time while watching.
There's just something about watching mechanisms do their thing. 😄
Thanks. I've been working at this more or less solid for the last 2 weeks. Meccano is all about mechanisms after all, so I thought focussing in on them was a good idea. There is an entire YT topic of people rendering mechanisms, or doing them in lego, and it gets loads of views, so I thought I would have a try. It seems successful so far.
Also give a nod to your do-nothing machine from a few months back, which I had in the back of my head whilst doing this!
The jump cuts at the end were so rapid I never got a good look at the machine running
Hi SN. Fair comment, and thanks for watching. You've actually given me the idea for my next video - I wasn't sure what to do next, but I think a making of, FAQs and long run footage of the machine might appeal to some people who liked this video. I'll put that together over the next few days or so.
Love the Maltezer cross.
LOL, yes that's one of my favourites too. Thanks for watching.
Baldy, that is bloody brilliant, thank you.
Glad you liked it. I'm proud of this one, I put a lot of time in to it.
A few words. Brilliant. Crackers. Fabulous. Thoroughly. Enjoyable. Lovely. Well. Done.😃
Thank you, your few words are much appreciated!
So good man. 5k views and climbing congrats!
Thanks. I'm shell shocked. It's doing 160 views an hour just at the minute, and that hourly figure keeps on going up. I'm starting to think it might end up doing really big numbers.
@@BaldyMakesStuff so good fingers crossed 🤞🏽
This is awesome! The attention to detail truly makes me happy. I appreciate all the time you spent on this. I can't wait to see what you make next.
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching.
As a gearhead and mechanical enthusiast, I could watch that all day :)⚙️
That's very kind of you, thanks for watching.
@@BaldyMakesStuff Anytime! I look forward to seeing more of your work :)
The motor shaft in the first 2 or 3 mechanisms is not exactly 4.1mm is it?
No, it's a non-Meccano motor.
Love the video, I want to know where to find all those gears?
It's made out of vintage Meccano. They don't make metal gears like that new any more. E-bay or Meccano dealers would be your best bet.
Thanks for watching.
@@BaldyMakesStuff thank you for the information I will continue my search.
What did you make it from? Is it Meccano?
Yes, that's right. Thanks for watching.
Are all the parts bent or drilled off center 🤷♂️
As an aircraft mechanic with minor machining experience it triggers ocd.
While at the same time adds a beautiful charm of imperfection and character.
I really need to get out more.
Cool video
👍😎
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it.
The parts are fine, however the motor shaft is slightly the wrong size. The parts are Meccano, and the motor is a non-Meccano motor. I did eventually put a brass sleeve on it to fill it out, but that was only for the later mechanisms where you can't really see the shaft anyway.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice work, I can imagine it would be very popular at a show !!
Thanks Richard, I'm going to give it a try at the next meetings of NEMS and Sheffield.
Congratulations ! Creativity and quality work at it's best ( Meccano and Video ). Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. Best Regards.
Thank you, that's very kind of you.
Nice use of erector sets or meccano.
Thank you.
I Like the Maltese Cross!
Me too! Thanks for watching.
A fun contraption (contrivance?). If you hook this up to your alarm clock, you may be able to use it to wind a mechanical bird's spring every morning. Cheers from Canada :-)
Thanks for watching, cheers to you too!
Baldy. Glad I subscribed. You are a breath of fresh air on CZcams. So mush depressing stuff. You cheer me up with my favourite hobby, Meccano, and you are so skilful.
Thank you Michael, that's really kind of you.
I miss these old constructor kits. They are so much fun too bad they don't sell them anymore (atleast where i live) my dad has 2 kits from his childhood i got my hands on them and restored them into working condition.
Good for you. You can buy them on ebay, although they are harder to get in some parts of the world than others.
how do the sack bag mechanism work?
Hi Matthew, sorry for the delay in coming back to you, this one slipped through. The mechanism works because as the arm rotates it varies the amount of cord available from the pivot point - the further away the pulley on the arm is from the other pulley, the more cord is drawn in. As it gets nearer to the pivot point it lets it out, and the rotation makes the movement automatically reverse.
That's probably about as clear as mud!
sound like a governor to me!
Now I want Meccano.
You should absolutely go and get some.
Excellent ! Nice video!
Thank you! Cheers!
17K VIEWS AND COUNTING! 🎉
I'm stunned. I hoped it might do reasonably well, but this is way beyond any expectations I had. Over 100 subscribers just from this video as well!
Wish it was filmed in cinematic quality 4k60fps
did the cat get your tongue 👅not the bird no speaking on this wonderful video 👍
Glad you liked it, put a lot of time and effort in to this one. Was trying a different style, and it seems to be popular. I have too big an ego for them all to be like this - I have to be in some of them - but I might make some more similar ones.
wow, almost a 1000 views in a day. That is "Gone viral" standards :) Great going
Thanks, I'm really pleased. By far my most popular.
I expect it to get many many more views 😉
@@3DPrinterAcademy Thank you, that's very kind. I've just looked at your channel and I'm blown away by your content.
like like like good.
Thanks.
