Lots of Cool Designs
Hey,
long time no see.
I'll tell you about my best recent work, what's next, at the end of this Email.
But first my
1:
First off, my latest work. The Gear Fractal.
You may already know the Sierpinsky Octahedron. It's one of the most popular 3D models period, and I uploaded one a while ago.
It occurred to me the other day that I can combine it with my usual mechanism and make it mechanical.
The most interesting thing about this is that the mechanism can also be fractalised. Like this:Hopefully some future civilization can build this thing. I'll try to build this in a less complex, motorized version and post a video on YouTube in a little while.

The Hinge Ball:
I'm not sure why, but this is my favorite design of myself. It's a Ball that changes shape and colors midair when you throw it. It's also very easy to print and put together.
3:
The Color Switch:
I was on a quest last year to find a color changing mechanism. Well, this year I finally found it. This Model uses a mathematical transformation to change colors. By now, I already know of 2 more mechanisms that can change colors.
What's Next?
I'm currently working on nothing less than turning a Sphere inside out. My most ambitious project, jet.
I am also going to post a lot more content on social media in the near future. Educational videos on who my stuff works and how I build it.
I'll start with a video on Jacobs Ladder, how it works, and if I can make an infinitely long one, next week, on YouTube.
That's it for this post/email.
Thanks for your continuous Support!
Have a lovely day,
Ruven Bals
