N2  - "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"--
