The mechanisms shown here are computed and drawn on the fly, that is, the positions of all of the elements are calculated, then drawn using a purpose-built drawing library built on top of Java's graphics routines. The drawing library is patterned...

This page will tell you how to make springs. Compression springs can be found in ballpoint pens, pogo sticks, and the valve assemblies of gasoline engines. Extension springs are found in garage door assemblies, vise-grip pliers, and carburetors....

Over the past 27 or so years, my father and I have collected a fair amount of ignitors. This was so that we could build reproductions of these parts that were so commonly discarded by the original users. It only takes a quick examination of a Low...
