Stroking machine


This device is inspired by the well known Venus2000 machine. In fact, i'm using an original receiver tube. But i wanted to have more variety with the stroking pattern.

For moving the air volume, i'm using a hand bilge-pump on which i closed the intake and removed the valve on the outlet.
Instead of the handle, i attached a stepper-motor to operate the pump.

The stepper-motor gives me more control over how the strokes feel.
It's possible to vary the stroke-length and the speed can be adjusted independently for the up and down movement.

Especially a fast up and slow down movement feels very good, while the other way around can be quite frustrating.

  1. Can you take a side photo of the machine?

  2. Great solution. Do you have a speed-algorithm (arduino, cpp) for the stroke? A ramp, so that it starts at 0 and runs after 0.25-x turns at the target-speed. And of course the reverse ramp, that it stops after 0.25-x turns. So a "soft start".

    1. There is no ramp function so far, but I'm thinking about using the pattern-editor from my fucking-machine https://owned-by-princess-shelle.blogspot.com/p/programmable-fucking-machine.html
