Globe-Spinning Automaton
engineering | globes | kinetic | mechanical | robots
If you’ve seen BattleBots, you’ve probably seen the robot that spins the giant nut. Inventor Hknssn created a similar machine, but it looks way cooler and doesn’t use electricity. Fingerbirgit is a kinetic sculpture driven by a hand crank or a weight. The 1170-piece artwork uses a series of cam tracks to manipulate the globe balanced on its fingertips.
