“Sisyphus, the king of Ephyra, is punished by being forced to roll and immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll away when near the top repeating his this action for eternity.” Or so the legend say…
This course is inspired by the word done first by Dave Johnson and later Disney Research group to put the mythical story of Sisyphus into a Kinetic Sculpture that describes the agony of his punishment. This course will teach you the methodology that you can follow to create this Kinetic Sculpture and ANY kinetic concept that you can imagine in Fusion 360. The course uses the work of Disney Research group as a reference from which to study the motion of Sisyphus and to duplicate it in Fusion 360 while also using GIM software.
In Section one you will learn about Fourbar Linkages, Coupler Curves and GIM software. This course will teach you how to use the functionality of GIM software with Fusion 360 to design any crazy motion that you could think of. This methodology will be the main focus of Section two. Each stop of the methodology will be outlined and demonstrated later in Fusion 360.
