Problem Statement
Figure out how Jansen's Mechanism works.

Work flow
1. Analyze how Jansen's Mechanism work by watching the example videos from the Instructor. 2. write down how it works. 3. figure out what materials to use around your house hole. 4. Put it together. 5. Test it and document your failure or write a tutorial if successful. 6. take pictures of failure and explain what are the problems

Test, Verification, Validation, and Certification
-Test and analysis procedures this are the pictures of the problems when building the linkage. This is just part of the linkage, it is missing the legs Here is where the problem started. The problem is that the rotating part of the linkage is unable to make a full cycle, because one of the peaces is too short, so when the mechanism try to turn it pushes the short peace too far out making the mechanism impossible to keep rotating. this is the same problem in the opposite direction. I suggest to make the peace that is being push larger so the mechanism can make a full cycle This is the second problem that was making the mechanism really hard to turn. the overlapping of the sticks is a problem, because it doesn't let the mechanism move freely, it makes is really hard to turn.

Possible implementation process improvements
To possibly fix the problem, it would be necessarily to make the short peaces that are causing the problem larger. Another soloing could be changing the peace that holds everything together and put a larger one. Then for the overlapping of the sicks, it would be better put apart with bigger screws holding it together so it would be increasing the deep of the whole thins, so the peaces won't make contact with each other at all.

Next Steps
Next step after in fixing all the problems, would be completing the legs of the mechanism and figure out a source of power so it will move on its own.
