Nacho Morató Surely you have seen on social networks some animated image of a table that begins to rotate and opens, forming a star in the center and that ends up being much larger than at the beginning.
Well if you are curious you will like to know that it is a Fletcher Capstan Table and that it is worth around $50,000. It is “very” used on cruise ships and luxury yachts
This is a collection of resources for working with gears. As I find them I am adding more.
Gears are a fundamental element in engineering and in our inventions. If we want to transmit movement, it is very easy that we have to use gears. We might buy them or we might want to make them at home.
Anyway I leave resources to be learned and tools to make our lives easier when using sprockets.
There are many ways to make slingshots and someday I will talk about how to make homemade slings.

We will take the opportunity to explain different concepts and data about catapults in history and in wars depending on the age of the child.

You will love our DIY dehumidifier
Simple and homemade, without any electronics or mechanisms. We are going to make a dehumidifier so that it captures the humidity of our closets, rooms or wherever we want.
