George Barrat-Jones from the Netherlands, striving to cheer and warm people, created Cyclo Knitter, which knits scarves in just 5 minutes.
Imagine winter. It's cold, and the train is not soon. But if you sit down and start twist the pedals of this car, you will not only get warm, but in 5 minutes it will become a happy owner of a warm scarf.
It all started with the fact that at the Academy of Design in Eindhoven, where George learns, he was given a task to come up with something using weaving or knitting technology.
The guy likes to create projects that are useful and make people smile, so he decided to make a more enjoyable train waiting.
Building Tower ...
... with a knitted machine installed.
Given the obsession of the Dutch bicycles, there is nothing surprising that in his car Barrat-Jones applied a pedal actuator. Before you, the pulleys of the transfer mechanism.
The transmitter is installed and connected to a pedal actuator. Note that old cycling chambers are used as drive belts.
Then George added the base for the machine ...
... and made an advertising shield.
She works!
It's time to check the work of the knitting machine at the station.
Sumptuously! For 2 hours, passengers tied over 30 scarves!
