LEGO Miss Adventure: WATER WORKS
This adventure is turning out to be more work
that I ever dreamed. First, the shipwreck. Then gathering supplies, getting
to the island, and building a shelter. Now finding water. I think...
Where is the water or liquid you are gathering?
We found a waterfall but it was on the other
side of the deep canyon.
We each drew part of our water works system.
Then we each had our pictures scanned.
To LEGO CAD pieces that are up in the air we need build temperary pieces up to the spot and later take them out.
The water is a waterfall on the other side
of a canyon. The arm of the machine is extended so that it will reach
the water. The lever mechanism is pulled back and forth as the gears,
powered by the motor, go around. The small bucket at the top of the
lever catches the water from under the waterfall and, as it swings back
in a 60 degree arc, rotates the bucket to pour the water into the cistern
near the shelter. Worm gear, spur gears, crown gear, bevel gears,
and three fulcrums work together to make motion in six directions.
