We have been working on creating a polished model of Linear Motion that can be assembled from a kit. The wooden parts of this model were cut out of a 1/4” plywood sheet using a water jet. The water jet worked well because we were able to get tight inside corners (the problem of CNC machining) and not have darkened ends (the problem of laser cutting). The hand crank powers ten cams which then move each arm up and down. The cams can be assembled in several different ways, so the model can show a variety of patterns including two types of waves, two flying wing motions and a several opposing up/down patterns.
