#Ratchet
The first mechanics exploration is a simple ratcheting mechanism. I was hoping to showcase an interesting mechanism and boil it down to the most simple elements. The piece was a mechanism that celebrates the mechanism itself.
The ideal visitor experience, would have a visitor turn the crank that moved the ratchet. This would lead to the user moving to a second section, with examples of common items that use this mechanism. The second part would be more like a poster similar to the one below the giant mirror.
Some problems that I encountered were the holes were too big for the screws, which ended up falling out. The prototype in its current version also has a complicated crank, that does not allow the user to set it down. This would definitely need to change in the future.
