An interactive atlas of mechanisms and machines
Understand how machines move.
Explore mechanical ideas through live models, mathematics, historical sources, applications, and the relationships that connect one mechanism to the next.
Mechanisms
Start with a machine element and inspect how motion, geometry, and parameters fit together.
02 / LEARNLearning paths
Follow curated progressions that explain what changes from one mechanical idea to the next.
03 / COLLECTIONSBrown's 507
Read historical collections as source context without making their numbering the atlas's canonical taxonomy.
04 / SOLVE
By function
Eventually: start with the motion transformation you need and compare mechanisms that can produce it.
