Animations of mechanical models

Original model


(10)-1 Eve's pump

[Refer to "Animation of the inside"]
The diameter of the large disk, ignoring the blades, is three times as large as the small disk, and the small disk rotates three times during the large disk's one rotation. The liquid is channeled from below by blades, carried along half the circumference, then discharged above. The gap on the small disk synchronizes with the blades, preventing the countercurrent of liquid. [Animation: DI JING, Graduate school of informatics, Mar 2000]
