Geogebra | The Peaucellier-Lipkin Planar Linkage
31A HUGE thank you to all the folks who helped make this!
Cookiebox678 - For suggesting the idea of a 2DOF linkage produced using a Peaucellier-Lipkin Linkage.
(It wasn't exactly this idea but after a lot of renditions we simplified it all the way down to whhat is basically almost identical to a Peaucellier-Lipkin Linkage)
Palfly Kampling - For creating the original functioning proof of concept and teaching me how to use Geogebra's 3D calculator for linkages! 💕
Description:
The Peaucellier-Lipkin Linkage is often displayed as a linkage that can produce perfect linear movement, but as far as I know, there aren't any videos that have ever really showed its capability in the third dimension.
Links with matching colors are equal in size, though in reality the purple links do not have to form a rhombus, rather it can be a deltoid.
The purple and the top of the green links are all connected together by a hinge joint, while the moveable black link and the bottom of the green links are ball joints.
The red ring is just to allow another input point to act as the handle to shift the plane that the majority of the links reside on. The red dot on the sphere is the handle to move the input crank.
The orange output always resides on the orange plane.

Come vibe with me! I'd love some company and don't bite, believe me. :P https://discord.gg/uNdpFzeNeY
