The First Noble Truth

11.4k iwannabeelected  7.2 years ago

"The first noble truth of Buddhism states simply that suffering exists."

This is my replication of one of Arthur Ganson's kinetic sculptures (my favorite one): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgHiSwR05VM

To make it work set throttle to 40-50%. It may break occasionally, if that happens just restart the scene.

And yes, there's a worm drive made from fuselage blocks and wheels. The use of fine-tuned parts to make a spiral wasn't necessary, regular stubs with .25 length and .75 rise worked just fine. However, this way it looks better.

    @aircraftarsenal123 cool stuff indeed. I like machine with concrete too, it kinda gets you closer to understanding eternity. But I love how the suffering is shown in this one. And thanks for the upvote!

    I saw a TED Talk on Arthur Ganson, he makes some pretty cool stuff I admit. My favorite is probably the one that has to robot dumping oil on itself, or maybe machine w/ concrete
