Consider the mechanism shown below made up of moveable links AB, BD and DE. Link AB is rotating CCW at a constant rate. Point C is the center of rotation for BD, where point C is at the intersection ...

The synthesis of four‐bar mechanisms and the generation of precise motion have long been central to advancements in mechanical design. Recent progress has integrated advanced optimisation algorithms, ...

Ever wonder how a tabletop fan moves side to side? A simple 4-bar mechanism, hidden gears, and a clever pin system make it all happen with the push of a button. This video has been dubbed in over 20 ...
