Welded Together "Moblie"
My son, Andy, welded together this large “mobile” for a retired neighbor. The parts came from old cars. The long balance beam is two leaf springs welded together. It balances on a curved piece of rerod that’s anchored to a wheel hub. There’s a flywheel and pulley at either end of the balance beam. They’re mounted sideways so they catch the wind. A slight breeze makes it move around, making it very interesting to watch. (Harry Brzeski, harrybrzeski@gmail.com)
