Cam Mechanism

In this mechanism the guide part will keep the rod moving in a consistent direction. The cam is the part of the mechanism that rotates and therefore decides the length of the strides of the rods. This is due to the shape of the same, the longer the oval, the larger the stride.
This system test appealed to me as the rods are able to show different movements at the same time, replicating a sort of unpredictable movement like the snakes on Medusa’s head.
By adjusting the crank mechanism system to better suit my ideas and concepts by replacing the crank with gears in that position. Gears in place of cranks allow for multiple rods to be added, creating more complexity and chaos like Medusa’s storyline.

A positive found within this mechanism is that the rods are able to show irratical movement that is not limited to just up and down but as well as side to side.
