It's amazing how simple non linear systems can produce such beautiful images. Probably it's no coincidence that these drawings look so much like those "flames" fractals.

These are fascinating, almost hypnotic to watch. Do you have photographs of the finished drawings anywhere? Do the patterns ever repeat?
@SirCutRy9 жыл бұрын
Laynie Fingers If the 'rules', or the speed of the motor and other factors like the diameters of the circles and linking are not changed during the operation, ideally it would repeat. But the pen is not copletely accurate and the links can move so it may not repeat itself.

I am using this as inspiration for a project I am working on now. I am at the stage of choosing the motors. Obviously our projects will have different torque requirements because of differing weights. (your spinning plate is metal and mine is light wood). How do I approximate the torque required to spin my disks and push my pantograph and pen along the paper, so as to choose the proper motor? Do I just use the weight of everything and the approximated friction of pen on paper? Thank you, your drawing machine is really incredible.

Will the machine's drawing eventually form a closed loop? To find how long before the loop closes, you would need to find the smallest number that all the periods of all the wheels divide into (I think). So if the large wheels' periods are 9 and 10 seconds, and the 2 small wheels' periods are 6 and 7 seconds, then what is smallest number that is multiple of all those numbers? How about 630? So after 630 seconds or 10½ minutes, the loop would close. Course, that's assuming periods are exact.

I am attempting to write a software simulation of this machine. The speed of the left spirograph is 8 sec / revolution, and the speed of the right spirograph is a slower 10 seconds per revolution, in the opposite direction. But the speed of both smaller wheels is 6 sec per rev, so each small wheel is not rolling inside the large wheel like a normal spirograph, but instead must be geared underneath with slightly different size gears. I get a similar design, but it almost repeats every cycle, and exactly repeats every 4 cycles. I will try making the speeds different by a small amount so they have no common factor. Since there is no rolling now, the ratio of wheel sizes does not matter.
@z3lop598 жыл бұрын
+HAROLD CAREY maybe you can shorten the rotation of one circle which each rotation by the fith of a second. when its at 6 seconds you di the same with another circle and add each time a fith of a second to the first wheel. And then you go on and on...
