The head and tail are linked together so that they move in unison. This is a reasonable assumption since a creature with such a massive head would need to use the tail for counter balance. As can be seen in the computer image, the high speed motor drives through 2 different silicone belts (red). The use of belts rather than gears allows the pulleys to slip rather than stall the motor if the resistance becomes too high. Each stage of drive results in a reduction of about 3:1.
The second pulley drives aThe output pulleys (shown in yellow) are used asThe left and right side are 180 degrees out of phase and each holds a pair of flex cable ends. Both the head and the tail form a pull-pull loop. Movement of the forward cables tips the head side to side, and movement of the rear cables swings the tail sideBecause a worm gear is used, the model maintains the attitude at which it was last positioned. The total gear reduction is (3:1 x 3:1 x 24:1) = 72:1. The tail is hinged in three places horizontally, allowing it to formaIt does not bend vertically, and the extra flex cable on the top helps to support the weight. the head and tail in motion.

Because a worm gear In addition to the green pulley cranks, on the same axle are a pair of cams shown in green and also used as cranks. A flex axle connects here (shown in yellow) and attaches to the movable upper jaw. Oddly, the lower jaw does not really move but rather is fixed at a 90 degree and to the neck which does move. The upper jaw pivots on the purple axle when the entire head is lifted by the yellow cable around the pink axle. The red flex cable supports the weight of the head and remains fixed in position while the yellow cable performs the arms and jaw in motion. third model, and airboat, is not nearly as inspired as the other two but is still an excellent model. It uses two of the three available motors and about half of the parts. tethered to the Control Center via wires which are not really long enough to allow you to stand up and follow the model along while it

[Muranushi] built a scanner to automatically scan an entire book. LEGO is used as the primary building material. A book is placed on a LEGO balance (inset photo) with a counterweight that eases the work of raising and lower the book. The book is lowered, a LEGO carriage moves across the book to turn the page, the book is raised to the glass of an upside-down scanner and scanned into a laptop. It seems LEGO and imaging devices are a great match. Most of the parts used here are from LEGO Technical set 8485, a set that comes with motors and a motor controller seen above, on the floor behind the computer. We’ve embedded some video after the break of a book in the midst of the scanning process.Set BricksetBrickset LegoTechnic SetsLego TechnicSystem BuildingBuilding Set1 ControlControl System9702 1ForwardClick to close image, click and drag to move.

Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question The best answers are voted up and rise to the top I have many sets that include the Octan logo: Over time Octan has been the name of LEGO Cities, Oil Companies, and Big Businesses. It was chosen as a successor to Esso and Shell. It became big during the LEGO Movie too. Why was the name Octan chosen, and what does it mean or refer to? Octan, is simply Octane in Danish, which is a chemical in and associated with gasoline making it a sensible name for a fictional petroleum/energy company. The LEGO Group (under pressure by a Greenpeace campaign) stopped the previous corporate partnerships, which had featured real world oil companies logos in LEGO sets, to distance themselves from the environmental protests associated with those companies.
