Inversive Geometry II: The Peaucellier Inversor Mechanism
Inversive Geometry II: The Peaucellier Inversor Mechanism
This ingenious linkage mechanism was designed in 1864 as a device to transform circular into straight line motion.
Drag the red circular joint to draw its inverse with respect to the orange circle under free, circular or straight constraints. Use reset to clean the image path.
