Dihemispheric Chronaether Agitator

I’m on a bit of a role here. I’ve reduced the size of the middle band to 1″ and added the 0.5″ diameter copper rod that will provide the drive to the hemispheres. Also added are the brass spirals which will also be connected to the copper rod and spin […]

Here is a drawing of the two matching hemispheres and the main body band. I’ve forgotten to mention that these hemispheres are about 10″ in diameter. The body band in this drawing is 2″ wide and 1/8″ thick. I think 2″ might be too wide.

Another, more precise drawing of the hemisphere.  The main aesthetic difference from the last drawing are the curved hub flanges.

Step one in building this is getting the basic components into the computer allowing me to play around with a few different ideas and then pull out specific measurements and patterns for cutting and bending. I’m not 100% in love with this concept and I’ll likely try a few other […]

This is the second, more developed sketch of the DCA. Here, on the top, the hemispheres are shown open, revealing the shelf within. Below that, on the left is a picture of the primary drive, which will be stabilized and aligned by the two concentric rings of the tray. On […]

Dihemispheric Chronaether Agitator This is the initial concept sketch for the piece that I’m working on for the Edwardian Ball. They wanted a small, mechanical “time travel” device in the Steam Punk aesthetic. This drawing shows two copper hemispheres which will rotate in opposite direction (into and out of the […]
