Dan Gelbart

Part 10 of Dan Gelbart's prototype-building lecture series, covering flexures: flexible joints that give precise, frictionless motion. It shows how a cheap piece of aluminum can become a nanometer-accurate mechanism.
HN recommends the series as a fascinating, practical course in precision prototyping, with the flexure episode singled out as especially impressive.
