klunk Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hi all, I hope I've come to the right place. I need to make a large scale pounding mallet that can repeat a pound every 5 seconds or so. I'd be using a mallet approximately 300mm in diameter. It would pound away at a large cube of compounded dirt - a mud brick of sorts - that is roughly 1.5sqm or so. i think it'd end up looking a lot like what i saw on this site - http://www.electronics-lab.com/blog/?p=6799i did a very rough sketch of what i assume it will require:2 x a frame supports on either side of the mallet1 x rod attachedI also assume that some weight bar will be required on the end of the mallet stick to allow for a pendulum like motion. If I've come to the wrong place, sorry. If not, I hope you can help. So sue me for being an artist.Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunk Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 something like this...? http://homepage.mac.com/sami_ashhab/courses/strength/subjects/impact/impact.htmlbut it should be stressed that this is a temporal piece of equipment being made for non industrial use. it'll be used for a visual art exhibition, so the materials are preferably cheap and easy to assemble. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
