Making things move : DIY mechanisms for inventors, hobbyists, and artists / Dustyn Roberts. - New York : McGraw-Hill, 2010. - xviii, 350 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction to mechanisms and machines -- Materials : how to choose and where to find them -- Screw it or glue it : fastening and joining parts -- Forces, friction, and torque (oh my!) -- Mechanical and electrical power, work, and energy -- Eeny, meeny, miny, motor : options for creating and controlling motion -- The guts : bearings, couplers, gears, screws, and springs -- Combining simple machines for fun and work -- Making things and getting things made -- Projects -- Appendix. BreadBoard power and Arduino primer.
"In Making Things Move: DIY Mechanisms for Inventors, Hobbyists, and Artists you'll learn how to successfully build moving mechanisms through non-technical explanations, examples, and do-it-yourself projects--from kinetic art installations to creative toys to energy-harvesting devices. Photographs, illustrations, screen shots, and images of 3D models are included for each project"--
