Voracious Harvester DIY Mechanical Model Kit
In 1826 in Scotland, the inventor Reverend Patrick Bell designed a reaper machine, which used the scissors principle of plant cutting, which is still used today. Horses pushed the Bell machine. A few Bell machines were available in the United States. In 1835, in the United States, Hiram Moore built and patented the first combine harvester, capable of reaping, threshing, and winnowing cereal grain. “Voracious Harvester” is a DIY model of a combine harvester. A standard model of a cereal harvesting machine was taken as a prototype.
- Blue skies, endless fields, and hundreds of workers harvesting—peace and prosperity. Such idyllic paintings are symbols of wealth in the cultures of many countries. However, technological progress makes adjustments to established ideas.
- Now, millions of agricultural workers have been replaced by machines. These machines are very diverse. They can sow, nurture, fertilize, irrigate, protect, and harvest almost all crops. All these machines are united by one broad term—”combines.”
- Of these, the most impressive mechanism is the combine harvester. One such machine can replace a thousand people on the field. Knowing no fatigue, the harvester cuts through the ears, separates the straw from the grain, forms sheaves, and unloads the final product. And it doesn’t stop moving.
- There are harvesters capable of very complex operations with different types of crops. One thing unites them: these machines serve to save humanity from hunger.
- Therefore, the Metal Time team could not help but pay tribute to these beautiful mechanisms.
- The main parts that determine the appearance of the combine are the header and the bunker.
- The cutting blades and rotating reel are marked on the header. The case hides the further processing process, inside which are located the winding spring mechanism and the gear system.
- In front of the hull is a cab with schematically marked combined harvester controls—a steering wheel and a dashboard.
The central part of the body is a hopper with a swivel unloading auger tube that pivots around the near end and can be extended sideways to simulate grain unloading.
- Windup mechanism
- Spinning Reel
- Auger On-Off
- Stainless Steel
- Transparent body
