Machine Design

One of my great joys is designing and building mechanical & electromechanical devices such as these two smart locks.

The best mechanisms are startlingly simple, just like the most beautiful mathematical proofs. With this in mind, I am particularly proud of LoveFrom’s Red Nose. There is no sliding in the hinge- only rolling without slipping. In addition, the “rollers” naturally create the space needed for the folded paper when the nose is closed. Several good images of the nose are available in a Core77 posting.
