Mechanical Polyknot Construction System

Açıklama

There are 8 remixes of archipanels: 6 pyramids and 2 C hinges that can be used to make mechanical polyknots.C-Hinge Assembly for Polyknot ConstructionSee 2 in action at:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQpTj5Hh89Mhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/kG2VVz8ND6wFor more information about Polyknots and Polylinks see: https://sites.google.com/view/polyknotsandpolylinks/Welcome-to--The-Polyknot-and-Polylink-Library?pli=1To see all the construction systems, sets, and kits visit: https://www.thingiverse.com/APC5/collections/42405859/thingsThe components for building a new class of entangled geometric structures.A polyknot is a structure that combines the topology of knots and links with the geometry of polyhedra — organizing knotted or interlinked forms around the faces, edges, or vertices of a polyhedral framework. A mechanical polyknot adds kinetic behavior: the structure physically moves through a controlled, predictable path between states while maintaining its topological integrity. The motion is not added on — it is built into the geometry of the object.These components — C-hinges, hinged polygon frames, and hinged pyramid frames — are the building blocks for constructing mechanical polyknots and star polyknots. The C-hinge is an original design developed from jdanders' Archipanels hinged polygon system, reconfigured here as a reciprocal coupling element capable of governing coordinated motion across a larger entangled assembly.With just these three component types, a wide range of…
