Would you have any insight in way of schematics for this beautiful design? I'm an engineering student interested in reconstructing something like this.

Can you show us his mechanism how it builts ..so we can try to make as our own

[@djdutch87]

Never seen one before it is really wonderful

[@GoingtoHecq]

Certainly this is something I have never seen before. So cool. A bit noisy from the straight cut gears though. I imagine this is a big spring.

Amigo o mecanismo usado pra fazer esse ventilador funcionar pode ser usado pra gerar energia eletrica pra situacoes de guerra ou desastre naturais.Mesmo sendo pouca energia ja ia servir.
