Introducing our Fourier Machine - a masterpiece of mathematical art! This device simplifies the complex process of Fourier analysis by adding multiple sine waves with different frequencies and amplitudes. It provides a visual representation of the analyzed result in an intuitive and engaging way. Users can input their desired values and see the sum of Sine(x), Sine(2x), and Sine(4x) plotted on paper. The machine is built with 3 gears, each with teeth of x, 2x, and 4x, connected separately with Scotch yoke and pulley mechanisms. A thread passes through each Scotch yoke mechanism and ends in a pen, which plots the output result on paper. With our device, you can create beautiful art while exploring the fascinating world of Fourier analysis.
