Description

This artwork is a combination of the meme Pepe the Frog and engineering and is presented as an NFT.

All machine parts are designed with Solidworks program. Standard and mechanical assembly relations of the parts were made with Solidworks program. Material selections were made with Solidworks. Motion analysis was made in Solidworks program for machine power transmission parts and balls. Then the camera was added for rendering and the appropriate motion was defined.

The movement of balls and gear wheels is completely based on real physics laws. It was obtained as a result of motion analysis. You should look carefully at the realistic vibrations in the marbles!
