"Sisyphus LEGO Kinetic Sculpture" which realistically reproduces the scenes of Greek myths with just LEGO

In Greek myths, as a punishment deceiving the gods twice, a person ordered to bring huge stones to the top of the mountain,SisyphusWill appear. Some people recreated the one scene famous as a story depicting the endless labor and absurdity that the stone lifted finally rolled down to the foot and lifted again for a long time, what a moving LEGO I will.

This is the whole picture of 'Sisyphus LEGO Kinetic Sculpture' which is made by combining all parts of LEGO. The beige color of Sisyphus is reproduced as pushing a big stone with both hands. Moreover, as you can see the movie, it is surprising because the real human movements are being reproduced.


I have been making this work for many years making works using LEGOJK BrickworksMr. Jason Allman. In the movie, works are introduced in detail including the inside.


Firstly from the appearance. Although all are made of Lego, one scene of Greek myth each is reproduced like a sculpture on each of the four sides of the base part. This is a scene where Sisypos hits the opponent by riding a tank drawn by a horse.


The god of omniscience,ZeusDespite being caught capturing Sisyphus after receiving the life of Sisypos, she was connected to the chain by Sisypos' skilled skillHades.

And Zeus' scenes etc. which punish Sisypos are reproduced.


Where the interest is also directed to the mechanism of movement while also reproducing the sculpture. This work is designed to make the foundation stupid and you can see the inside.


Batteries and LEGO motors are built in the part of the index finger of the left hand, which generates power.


Furthermore, since the shaft for indicating the crank lever comes out on the opposite side of the foundation, it is even possible to turn the lever by hand and move it.


And the skeleton model which took out only the internal structure is kore.


The motive power from the motor is input to a gear that looks like a beige color, and it is said that it is structured to be transmitted from each part to this gear.


The yellow link is connected to the left foot, the red link is connected to the right foot, and both legs are driven by the rotation of the black crankshaft at the base part. A short sub-link is connected to the link, and this makes it possible to reproduce the movement of the leg that kicks out the ground powerfully.


This black chain is connected to the beige gear, and it also serves as a mechanism for generating movement of the body and stone by driving the red link ahead.


The most important design of this device is where the number of gears driving the foot is set to 12: 24, or 1: 2 gear ratio. By moving the upper body and the stone twice during one cycle of the foot it means that the movements of the two legs and the movement of the body are synchronized well. Its mechanical movements should be something for a favorite person an unbearable sight.


In addition, at Allman's website "JK Brickworks", you can see many other works, and on the "Instructions" page you can also see how to make each work.

Since such an assembly manual and the parts list of the necessary parts are also available for viewing, it was in a state that I wanted to buy the Lego block unintentionally even on the next day.
