Making things move : DIY mechanisms for inventors, hobbyists, and artists / Dustyn Roberts. - New York : McGraw-Hill, ©2011. - xviii, 350 p. : ill.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction to mechanisms and machines -- Materials : how to choose and where to find them -- Screw it or glue it : fastening and joining parts -- Forces, friction, and torque (oh my!) -- Mechanical and electrical power, work, and energy -- Eeny, meeny, miny, motor : options for creating and controlling motion -- The guts : bearings, couplers, gears, screws, and springs -- Combining simple machines for fun and work -- Making things and getting things made -- Projects -- Appendix. BreadBoard power and Arduino primer. Machine generated contents note: 1 Introduction to Mechanisms and Machines -- 2 Materials and Where to Find Them -- 3 Screwed or Glued? On Fastening and Joining Parts -- 4 Forces, Friction and Torque (Oh My) -- 5 Mechanical and Electrical Power, Work, and Energy -- 6 Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Motor? -- Creating and Controlling Motion -- 7 The Guts: Bearings, Bushings, Couplers, and Gears -- 8 Combining Simple Machines for Fun and Work -- 9 Making Things and Getting Them Made -- 10 Projects -- Appendix. 1 Introduction to Mechanisms and Machines -- 2 Materials and Where to Find Them -- 3 Screwed or Glued?

"In Making Things Move: DIY Mechanisms for Inventors, Hobbyists, and Artists you'll learn how to successfully build moving mechanisms through non-technical explanations, examples, and do-it-yourself projects--from kinetic art installations to creative toys to energy-harvesting devices. Photographs, illustrations, screen shots, and images of 3D models are included for each project"--
