Simulating mechanical device

Hi there

I'm planning to use construct to simulate mecanical devices for educational purpose. Here is the schematics of the mecanism I'd like to reproduce :

-Rotating red segment sends movement to translating green segment through the green segment. User can chang rotating speed.

• Blue circles are flexible joints.
• The ideal solution would also be able to turn translating movement (from green segment) to circular movement (to red segment).

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance ?

something like this?

I'm not really that good in mathematics, so the capx might look sloppy:

capx

Thanks, Yes, that's almost the result i'd like to achieve but I wish I could do without math, only with pin/physics/inverse kinematics

Although it is recreatable with physics:

machine-physics

I think faking it through events would be a better choice.

Looks nice ! Thanks

Do you have the capx ?

i could see a game much like the running qwop game or whatever, being recreated into a fun something with this mechanic...

Actually, my plans are very much more encyclopedical :)

I'd like to recreate medieval and modern machines.

I'd love to recreate this one
