Opis

If you want a deeper understanding of machines and mechanisms, this is your guide. You ll learn what each part of a machine does and how to build it. Rather than blueprints, this fascinating hands-on book provides full-color illustrations and vivid examples of how to build and integrate various mechanisms. You ll learn how to develop your own "mental toolkit" that lets you envision and then build what you need, without wasting time and materials and without the frustration.Make: Machines and Mechanisms is perfect for makers, artists, students, CNC hobbyists, robot builders, and non-technical people who love to take things apart, rebuild them, or design something from scratch.Topics include:

• Levers, axles, and shafts
