A simple way to adapt your GRIB mechanisms to the Danish brick system of your choice (“who knows which one, could be any of them”).
For larger grids with high torque requirements, this is an effective way to deliver power consistently. Via the axle interface, you can connect up the grid to motors, hand cranks, or any other mechanism you design yourself.
why “barnacles”?
In GRIB, barnacles are simple modules that plug directly into the gear chain, rather than being loaded fully onto a drive.
They are called “barnacles” because they are small things that cling to the side of a larger thing.
open source
If you have a 3D printer, you may be able to make a version of this for free at home.
GRIB is open source. You can download the files and print a drive yourself.
An early access version of GRIB is currently only available to our Kickstarter backers. We expect to fully open-source version 1.0 in late August.
