Wayne Martin went through much of the process of how he creates his award winning whirlygigs. He demonstrated his rendering of santa taking a bath before Christmas. He then covered various ways of creating motion by attaching cams to a slowly rotating threaded shaft and then fabricating cam followers out of a variety of wires. Wayne went on to explain a number of ways to transfer motion to the desired direction and distance. He showed a prototyping board he uses to work out concepts until he gets the motion he wants. On the prototyping platform, he had created a multilobe cam from a large plastic washer. He cut away portions of the washer to create lobes of varying height and duration and then created a wire follower that would ride on the cam to cause another wire to cycle up and down as desired. Several audience members derived an "Ahhh Haaa" moment from the demonstration. Perhaps we will soon see some new whirlygigs at show and tell.
