| Destruction
of the Rain Forest |
| Client: The
Franklin Park Zoo, Boston, MA |
| Special
Skills: Precision
mechanism fabrication, specialized electronics and computer programming |
| Purpose:
To arrest viewer's attention regarding the negative effects of deforestation |
| How
it works: As bulldozers, mounted on cam blocks, advance toward
the center of the display, the cam blocks engage lever arms connected
directly to the "tree" support shaft knocking over the trees.
As the drive motor reverses, the trees are returned to their upright
position. |
