Levers and 4 Bar Linkages

I wanted to do a follow-up video going into more detail about how to work out math for simple 4 bar linkages. We use these all the time in our puppets, but the same concepts could be applied to any sort of hobby engineering or art projects.

This has a criminally low view count. Easily the best explanation about linkage mechanisms that I've seen yet.

best simple levering explanation i have ever seen, thanks mate

So intense. I am math-phobic… but with help from you, the puppets, I will solve the geometric and spatial problems. Doing is better for me than math computation. 😊

This is a really, really unique way of explaining and presenting; you’re conveying a lot of principles in this video in such a fantastic way. Such a great educator! Thank you!

I’m an animatronics enthusiast. As I’m starting a new mechanical prop build, i wanted to brush up on the fundamentals of levers and linkages when I came across this video….Its undoubtedly the coolest one out there. For a moment i thought, this got to be a cool physics teacher and then I checked out your channel…no wonder you are a puppet maker/puppeteer….u designed the perfect teaching aid to explain the concept to visual learners like us

I like how simple you explained that, coupled with your natural humor and direct to the point teaching. This has been very helpful. Thanks!

There should be an international day for people who make educational videos online. I mean there is world teachers' day but I feel like these two should be in a whole different category.


Thank you, mate!

Stumbled across this video while working on some linkages homework for my mechanical drawing class. SO informative, simple, concise, and creative. Cheers!

So sad to see the less views and less number of subscribers :( best demonstration ever seen . Valuable work . thanks for such a valuable video

[adimeshort]

Excellent visualization! Thanks- I know it’s 4 years old but I’d love more

[Echosinfireify]

I watched this with the same kind of engagement I feel for a magic show. Very cool stuff. Math is crazy.

[vdomin]

Excellent demonstration! Clear and concise.

Our teacher got us to watch this video to understeand Levers and Linkages, and honestly, as a student, I'm amazed how you explained this so well, better then even some teachers.

Commenting for algorithm.

Best linkages intro vid I've seen, better than most classes 👍

[esspe]

Great ideas, I didn't think those bars would be precise, but as you said - and showed - in a small region this will be sufficiently precise and more robust than belts and pulleys.

Love this! Subscribed and will follow all updates. Thank you so much!

[kashv]

By far the best explanation ever came across regarding linkages. GREAT! work sir. Thanks!

[adambergendorff]

very very helpful video!!! great way of using CAD, Cardboard Aided Design

18:30 He's doing all of this for puppetry?! Amazing! I'm using it to set up the steering on my go-kart.

I don't know anything about geometry, but this was absolutely fascinating and very well done. I really appreciate the effort and explanation!
