This is all wrong. The second wheel will not turn like that (it will just get stuck) unless there is a second pair of wheels, on the other end of the axles, with the cranks set at right-angles. That's what the video needs to show.
Quilquin is correct. once the connecting rods rotate to the 3 oclock position (or 9 oclock) the rod wouldn't know to turn forwards or backwards. I'm building a complicated automata wooden toy and I struggled w/this problem until I realized I had to have TWO connecting rods; one offset by 90 degrees. that solved the issue.
Correct. One rod like this will jam. It needs another set of wheels or cranks with another connecting rod set at a different angle. 90 degrees is usual and works best but anything around that will work. 2:16
im trying to make this for a project and since its technically a change point, my same design the connecting rod does not rotate all the way around the wheels like this one. does three wheels fix it?

Sean Salmon You need a second connecting rod at 90° angle from the first one in order to make sure the wheels continue rotating in the same direction, otherwise the wheel will stop at some point and will be pushed instead of rotated when the connecting rod is in line with the center of the wheels
Very useful thank u so much
Excellent
Needs 3 wheels conneted to work..

Would it not interfere with the wheel axles?

Very nice animation, Thanks a lot
thank you sir
Thank you so much
Thank u bro it helped me a lot
Thank you for making this
rubbish

@@marsogreen2411 When I put two they interfere with one another due to the axles. How do you avoid this?
