Narrator: a garage door is more
Than just a functional component
4
00:00:56,172 --> 00:00:58,275
Of a house.
5
00:00:58,275 --> 00:01:01,068
It's part of the curb appeal,
6
00:01:01,068 --> 00:01:03,655
Especially when the garage
Is prominently located
7
00:01:03,655 --> 00:01:05,724
At the front of the home.
8
00:01:05,724 --> 00:01:08,793
Garage doors are made
From a variety of materials,
9
00:01:08,793 --> 00:01:11,206
Wood being the high-end option.
10
00:01:13,275 --> 00:01:16,758
A wood garage door
Is pricier than standard steel,
11
00:01:16,758 --> 00:01:19,758
Aluminum, or vinyl panel doors.
12
00:01:19,758 --> 00:01:22,862
But they offer
The most design flexibility.
13
00:01:22,862 --> 00:01:25,275
Wood can be customized
To any style
14
00:01:25,275 --> 00:01:28,482
And painted or stained
Any color.
15
00:01:28,482 --> 00:01:33,448
Western red cedar, mahogany,
And hemlock are popular choices
16
00:01:33,448 --> 00:01:36,620
Because they hold up
Particularly well outdoors.
17
00:01:38,896 --> 00:01:42,379
Garage doors start
With the core structure.
18
00:01:42,379 --> 00:01:46,000
For the core surface,
They use exterior-grade plywood
19
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,344
So that the indoor-facing side
Of the core can be stained
20
00:01:49,344 --> 00:01:53,448
To match the decorative wood
On the outdoor side.
21
00:01:53,448 --> 00:01:55,620
They build
The core's internal structure
22
00:01:55,620 --> 00:01:58,827
Out of finger-jointed
Yellow pine.
23
00:01:58,827 --> 00:02:00,862
Finger-jointed means each piece
24
00:02:00,862 --> 00:02:03,758
Is made of several
Short, connected pieces.
25
00:02:03,758 --> 00:02:05,517
It is structurally stronger
26
00:02:05,517 --> 00:02:07,689
And less prone
To twisting and bowing
27
00:02:07,689 --> 00:02:09,517
Than a solid piece of wood.
28
00:02:12,137 --> 00:02:15,827
They build a core for
Each section of the garage door.
29
00:02:17,379 --> 00:02:19,448
The core structures
Can be designed
30
00:02:19,448 --> 00:02:22,896
To accommodate windows
Or other unique features.
31
00:02:26,517 --> 00:02:28,758
They insulate
Every core structure
32
00:02:28,758 --> 00:02:30,586
With pieces of polystyrene.
33
00:02:30,586 --> 00:02:33,586
This helps keep the garage
Warmer in the winter
34
00:02:33,586 --> 00:02:37,206
And cooler in the summer.
35
00:02:37,206 --> 00:02:40,517
Now they run two sheets
Of exterior-grade plywood
36
00:02:40,517 --> 00:02:44,103
Through a machine that coats
The top and bottom with glue.
37
00:02:44,103 --> 00:02:46,517
They lay the sheets
Onto a core structure
38
00:02:46,517 --> 00:02:50,862
And place a second core
Structure on top of the first.
39
00:02:50,862 --> 00:02:52,724
They repeat this process
40
00:02:52,724 --> 00:02:55,068
Until they've stacked up
Enough core structures
41
00:02:55,068 --> 00:02:56,862
Required for the door
They are making.
42
00:02:58,758 --> 00:03:02,379
They put the stack
Into a press for a half-hour.
43
00:03:02,379 --> 00:03:07,517
The press applies 130,000 pounds
While the glue cures.
44
00:03:07,517 --> 00:03:10,379
Then they load each section
Onto a machine,
45
00:03:10,379 --> 00:03:12,896
Which cuts it
To the width required.
46
00:03:12,896 --> 00:03:14,931
The machine also makes a lip
47
00:03:14,931 --> 00:03:16,862
To direct rain
Away from the door
48
00:03:16,862 --> 00:03:21,689
So that water doesn't run
Back into the garage.
49
00:03:21,689 --> 00:03:23,965
When a core section has windows,
50
00:03:23,965 --> 00:03:26,482
They cut the openings for them
With a router.
51
00:03:36,448 --> 00:03:38,758
Using a template as a guide,
52
00:03:38,758 --> 00:03:41,482
They drill holes through
The front of the core.
53
00:03:43,758 --> 00:03:45,379
With a countersink tool,
54
00:03:45,379 --> 00:03:48,551
They cut a wide opening
Around each hole.
55
00:03:48,551 --> 00:03:52,103
They insert "T" nuts
Into the holes.
56
00:03:54,172 --> 00:03:56,758
This enables hardware
To be mounted on the inside
57
00:03:56,758 --> 00:03:58,724
Of the garage door.
58
00:04:03,068 --> 00:04:05,827
At this point,
The connected core sections
59
00:04:05,827 --> 00:04:09,758
Can function as a structurally
Sound garage door.
60
00:04:09,758 --> 00:04:12,448
However, there's still
Aesthetic work left to do.
61
00:04:14,344 --> 00:04:18,482
The plywood on the front of the
Door serves as a blank canvas.
62
00:04:18,482 --> 00:04:21,413
They glue decorative wood trim
To the front door
63
00:04:21,413 --> 00:04:26,068
To produce the design specified
In the customer's order.
64
00:04:26,068 --> 00:04:30,068
For this door,
They're using african mahogany.
65
00:04:30,068 --> 00:04:33,034
They've already cut pieces
To the required dimensions,
66
00:04:33,034 --> 00:04:36,034
With tongue-and-groove edges
That enable adjoining pieces
67
00:04:36,034 --> 00:04:37,620
To connect.
68
00:04:39,793 --> 00:04:41,482
Once the glue dries,
69
00:04:41,482 --> 00:04:43,931
They cut off the excess wood
With a router.
70
00:04:49,586 --> 00:04:52,103
Then they sand the surface
And prepare the wood
71
00:04:52,103 --> 00:04:53,862
To be stained or painted.
72
00:04:53,862 --> 00:04:56,482
They line up the remaining
Core section
73
00:04:56,482 --> 00:04:59,551
And glue on
The corresponding wood trim.
74
00:04:59,551 --> 00:05:03,206
They secure the wood trim
To the core with nails.
75
00:05:22,344 --> 00:05:25,655
After cutting off
The last pieces of excess wood,
76
00:05:25,655 --> 00:05:28,103
They install the glass
For the windows.
77
00:05:28,103 --> 00:05:32,413
The dealer will install
The hardware upon delivery.
78
00:05:38,034 --> 00:05:39,931
Prior to installation,
79
00:05:39,931 --> 00:05:41,896
Either the dealer
Or the customer
80
00:05:41,896 --> 00:05:44,517
Will stain or paint the wood
The desired color.
81
00:06:00,896 --> 00:06:03,172
Narrator:
Sand-and-salt spreaders
82
00:06:03,172 --> 00:06:04,827
Were developed
In the united states
83
00:06:04,827 --> 00:06:07,137
In the middle
Of the 20th century.
84
00:06:07,137 --> 00:06:10,344
Before that,
Crews kept winter roads safe
85
00:06:10,344 --> 00:06:13,034
By shoveling sand and salt
From trucks.
86
00:06:13,034 --> 00:06:16,413
Things got easier
When mechanical spreaders
87
00:06:16,413 --> 00:06:18,655
Took over the heavy lifting.
88
00:06:21,310 --> 00:06:23,103
Winter storm brewing?
89
00:06:23,103 --> 00:06:26,275
Sand-and-salt spreaders
Have it covered.
90
00:06:26,275 --> 00:06:30,310
They distribute salt to melt
The ice and sand for traction.
91
00:06:32,793 --> 00:06:36,448
They start with two big sheets
Of stainless steel.
92
00:06:36,448 --> 00:06:39,413
Computer-driven plasma torches
Carve the steel
93
00:06:39,413 --> 00:06:44,206
Into the four panels that will
Be used to build the hopper.
94
00:06:44,206 --> 00:06:47,137
Next, the operator
Transfers the panels
95
00:06:47,137 --> 00:06:51,000
To another computerized machine.
96
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,172
This one has
Numerous punch tools.
97
00:06:54,172 --> 00:06:58,896
They cut holes for nuts, bolts,
Bearings, and other components.
98
00:07:01,482 --> 00:07:04,724
Then it's over
To a hydraulic press brake.
99
00:07:04,724 --> 00:07:07,310
It bends the bottom
Of the hopper panel
100
00:07:07,310 --> 00:07:09,034
To create a wide rim.
101
00:07:09,034 --> 00:07:12,344
This wide rim adds rigidity
To the part.
102
00:07:12,344 --> 00:07:14,689
The team flips
The hopper panel around
103
00:07:14,689 --> 00:07:17,965
So the press brake
Can bend the top.
104
00:07:17,965 --> 00:07:22,310
Computerized stops control
The location of each bend.
105
00:07:24,517 --> 00:07:28,000
A worker clamps the hopper panel
In a fixture to prop it up
106
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,965
While he welds ribbed supports
To the outside.
107
00:07:31,965 --> 00:07:34,482
He adds two or three ribs
To each side panel,
108
00:07:34,482 --> 00:07:39,310
Depending on the size
Of the spreader.
109
00:07:39,310 --> 00:07:42,068
Once all the ribs
Have been welded,
110
00:07:42,068 --> 00:07:46,206
A team joins
The four hopper panels together.
111
00:07:46,206 --> 00:07:50,965
They clamp a bar across one end
To square up the structure.
112
00:07:52,724 --> 00:07:57,137
Once it's aligned, they weld the
Spreader hopper at the seams.
113
00:08:00,724 --> 00:08:03,379
These tight seams
Create a rugged structure
114
00:08:03,379 --> 00:08:05,068
That will hold up
Under the burden
115
00:08:05,068 --> 00:08:07,586
Of heavy road salt or sand.
116
00:08:09,758 --> 00:08:12,310
Now a worker builds
The steel chute
117
00:08:12,310 --> 00:08:15,206
That the sand or salt
Will flow through.
118
00:08:16,793 --> 00:08:19,724
He attaches several brackets
To the inside and outside
119
00:08:19,724 --> 00:08:21,413
Of the chute.
120
00:08:21,413 --> 00:08:24,482
These brackets are for
The adjustable steel flaps
121
00:08:24,482 --> 00:08:27,655
That direct the flow of salt
Onto the highway.
122
00:08:30,689 --> 00:08:34,586
Here he installs the adjuster
Bar for one of the flaps.
123
00:08:34,586 --> 00:08:37,793
He swings the flap
To confirm it moves freely.
124
00:08:37,793 --> 00:08:40,793
A pin is inserted
In the adjuster bar
125
00:08:40,793 --> 00:08:44,034
To set the flap
At the desired spacing.
126
00:08:44,034 --> 00:08:48,379
He attaches a bearing
To each side of the chute.
127
00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:53,482
He slides a long steel shaft
Through the bearings
128
00:08:53,482 --> 00:08:55,931
Until it protrudes
From the bottom.
129
00:08:57,551 --> 00:09:00,103
He secures the shaft
To the bearings...
130
00:09:04,482 --> 00:09:08,724
...And mounts a flexible plastic
Spinner to the protruding shaft.
131
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:16,482
This spinner will spread
The road salt or sand evenly
132
00:09:16,482 --> 00:09:18,620
Across the road.
133
00:09:22,448 --> 00:09:26,310
Customers on tighter budgets
Sometimes choose salt spreaders
134
00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:29,448
Made of mild steel
Instead of stainless.
135
00:09:30,965 --> 00:09:35,586
They spray a dry powder coat
Onto these units.
136
00:09:35,586 --> 00:09:39,620
Then they roll the part
Into an oven to bake it on.
137
00:09:39,620 --> 00:09:42,827
This durable finish will protect
The hoppers from corrosion
138
00:09:42,827 --> 00:09:45,586
And general wear.
139
00:09:45,586 --> 00:09:48,896
Now back to
The stainless-steel spreader.
140
00:09:48,896 --> 00:09:52,275
The team fastens a gearbox
To the side of the hopper.
141
00:09:52,275 --> 00:09:55,448
It will drive the conveyer
That delivers salt or sand
142
00:09:55,448 --> 00:09:57,137
To the chute.
143
00:09:59,241 --> 00:10:03,241
A worker temporarily powers
The gearbox with a drill
144
00:10:03,241 --> 00:10:06,206
To assist in the installation
Of the conveyer.
145
00:10:06,206 --> 00:10:09,827
He pushes the conveyor forward
Until the gearbox takes over.
146
00:10:11,689 --> 00:10:13,758
He installs a feed gate
At the opening
147
00:10:13,758 --> 00:10:17,034
And screws the lever
To the side of the hopper.
148
00:10:21,034 --> 00:10:24,793
They stockpile hoppers, chutes,
And motors separately
149
00:10:24,793 --> 00:10:27,448
Until an order is placed.
150
00:10:27,448 --> 00:10:30,896
This allows the customer
To choose individual components
151
00:10:30,896 --> 00:10:33,689
Before the final assembly.
152
00:10:33,689 --> 00:10:37,482
For example, the customer
Way want a specific gas motor,
153
00:10:37,482 --> 00:10:41,275
Or they may choose
A hydraulic one.
154
00:10:41,275 --> 00:10:43,620
Once they've bolted
The chute to the hopper,
155
00:10:43,620 --> 00:10:47,310
This sand-and-salt spreader
Is ready for an icy highway.
156
00:10:47,310 --> 00:10:49,827
It can spread material
Thick or thin,
157
00:10:49,827 --> 00:10:52,827
Depending on
The road conditions.
158
00:11:08,586 --> 00:11:11,068
Narrator: dinosaurs
Have long been extinct.
159
00:11:11,068 --> 00:11:14,137
But animatronics make models
160
00:11:14,137 --> 00:11:17,793
Look, sound, and move
Like the real thing.
161
00:11:19,344 --> 00:11:22,137
Developed by walt disney
In the 1960s,
162
00:11:22,137 --> 00:11:26,448
This technique is a combination
Of art and technology.
163
00:11:28,103 --> 00:11:33,000
The slit eyes,
Rows of sharp fangs,
164
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,655
And a long, purposeful snout
All look stunningly real.
165
00:11:38,655 --> 00:11:41,000
With his razor-sharp claws,
166
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,103
This velociraptor figure looks
Ready to leap right at you.
167
00:11:46,482 --> 00:11:50,275
First, a designer
Uses 3-d sculpting software
168
00:11:50,275 --> 00:11:54,379
To create a detailed
Digital model of the raptor.
169
00:11:54,379 --> 00:11:57,793
Key features, such as the size,
Shape, and number of the teeth
170
00:11:57,793 --> 00:12:00,793
Are thoroughly documented.
171
00:12:00,793 --> 00:12:04,275
The art director approves
A small-scale 3-d printed model
172
00:12:04,275 --> 00:12:06,413
Of the figure
173
00:12:06,413 --> 00:12:10,241
Before an industrial robotic arm
Sculpts the full-size figure
174
00:12:10,241 --> 00:12:12,310
In four-pound foam.
175
00:12:13,551 --> 00:12:18,000
The density of the foam
Allows for very precise styling.
176
00:12:21,206 --> 00:12:24,103
An artist adds details by hand.
177
00:12:24,103 --> 00:12:26,379
He uses
Precision sculpting tools
178
00:12:26,379 --> 00:12:29,310
To draw wrinkles and lines.
179
00:12:29,310 --> 00:12:32,448
He brushes melted clay
On top of the foam
180
00:12:32,448 --> 00:12:35,931
To bring out details and give
More realism to the sculpture.
181
00:12:38,655 --> 00:12:40,448
The clay needs to solidify
182
00:12:40,448 --> 00:12:42,758
Before the sculpture
Can be molded.
183
00:12:42,758 --> 00:12:45,379
A figure finisher
Prepares a mixture
184
00:12:45,379 --> 00:12:48,068
Of monomer and polymer
That is commonly used
185
00:12:48,068 --> 00:12:51,034
To make acrylic teeth.
186
00:12:51,034 --> 00:12:53,103
He pours the mixture into a mold
187
00:12:53,103 --> 00:12:55,931
Shaped like the jaw
Of the raptor.
188
00:13:01,068 --> 00:13:04,275
He places the mold
In a vacuum chamber.
189
00:13:06,965 --> 00:13:11,586
He seals the vacuum-chamber lid
And starts the vacuum pump.
190
00:13:11,586 --> 00:13:14,482
The vacuum pump will lower
The pressure inside,
191
00:13:14,482 --> 00:13:17,482
Forcing air bubbles out
From the acrylic mixture.
192
00:13:19,620 --> 00:13:23,551
This process makes for
An even and consistent casting.
193
00:13:27,310 --> 00:13:31,689
These are sharp and strong
Velociraptor fangs.
194
00:13:31,689 --> 00:13:35,172
The figure finisher
Separates the teeth by hand,
195
00:13:35,172 --> 00:13:39,965
Then takes a dremel tool to file
Down the excess around the base.
196
00:13:39,965 --> 00:13:42,827
The acrylic teeth
Accurately reproduce the shape
197
00:13:42,827 --> 00:13:44,931
Of the predator's fangs.
198
00:13:47,241 --> 00:13:50,793
The figure finisher places
The teeth back in the jaw mold.
199
00:13:53,896 --> 00:13:56,655
Massive teeth up to an inch long
200
00:13:56,655 --> 00:13:59,310
Fill the reptile's
Ferocious mouth.
201
00:14:03,344 --> 00:14:05,551
The figure finisher
Covers the teeth
202
00:14:05,551 --> 00:14:07,620
With flesh-colored
Dental acrylic
203
00:14:07,620 --> 00:14:10,517
To form the gums
And palate of the creature.
204
00:14:13,586 --> 00:14:15,793
Once the mold
Is filled with acrylic,
205
00:14:15,793 --> 00:14:19,379
He puts it in a vacuum chamber,
Where the gums and palate cure.
206
00:14:22,896 --> 00:14:24,931
During the vacuuming process,
207
00:14:24,931 --> 00:14:27,448
The gums and teeth bond together
208
00:14:27,448 --> 00:14:30,482
To form a complete
Velociraptor denture.
209
00:14:35,482 --> 00:14:37,827
To make the reptile's eyeballs,
210
00:14:37,827 --> 00:14:43,724
He places a transparent sheet in
A vacuum thermoforming system.
211
00:14:43,724 --> 00:14:47,000
The vacuformer heats the plastic
To make it malleable.
212
00:14:49,379 --> 00:14:52,896
The figure finisher pushes the
Sheet down on an eyeball shape
213
00:14:52,896 --> 00:14:54,965
And activates a vacuum pump.
214
00:14:56,034 --> 00:15:01,000
Thermoformed eyeballs come in
Various shapes and sizes.
215
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,379
Now a plastics technician
Prepares the fiberglass mold.
216
00:15:05,379 --> 00:15:09,586
He uses a chopper gun to cover
The inside of the plastic mold
217
00:15:09,586 --> 00:15:12,413
With flexible
Fiberglass strands.
218
00:15:15,137 --> 00:15:18,689
The technician bonds
The strands together with resin.
219
00:15:21,586 --> 00:15:23,896
Once the resin has cured,
220
00:15:23,896 --> 00:15:26,586
The hard fiberglass shell
Takes the shape
221
00:15:26,586 --> 00:15:28,931
Of the initial foam sculpture.
222
00:15:31,241 --> 00:15:32,827
Using a jigsaw,
223
00:15:32,827 --> 00:15:36,586
A worker cuts the shell
At various articulation points.
224
00:15:36,586 --> 00:15:39,206
This will allow the figure
To move seamlessly
225
00:15:39,206 --> 00:15:42,965
Once it's assembled on its
Animated mechanical structure.
226
00:15:44,379 --> 00:15:47,724
The technician applies
A primer coat with a spray gun.
227
00:15:50,103 --> 00:15:54,137
This shell will house
The mechanical components,
228
00:15:54,137 --> 00:15:57,000
Animating the dinosaur's
Long tail,
229
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,172
Its strong upper body and neck,
230
00:16:00,172 --> 00:16:02,482
The birdlike head,
231
00:16:02,482 --> 00:16:06,793
The handlike front limb,
And its powerful hind legs.
232
00:16:16,931 --> 00:16:19,862
Narrator: an encounter with
A life-size animated dinosaur
233
00:16:19,862 --> 00:16:22,793
Is quite an experience.
234
00:16:22,793 --> 00:16:26,206
An elaborate range of advanced
Special-effects techniques
235
00:16:26,206 --> 00:16:29,517
And animatronic technology
Brings them to life.
236
00:16:34,172 --> 00:16:37,517
A technician covers
The fiberglass inner shell
237
00:16:37,517 --> 00:16:40,241
With a ripstop fabric lining.
238
00:16:40,241 --> 00:16:44,379
It will support and reinforce
The silicone skin.
239
00:16:44,379 --> 00:16:47,620
She installs zippers
On the liner to easily take off
240
00:16:47,620 --> 00:16:50,034
Or put on the skin.
241
00:16:50,034 --> 00:16:53,655
The liner fits tightly
Over the fiberglass
242
00:16:53,655 --> 00:16:57,724
And takes the shape
Of the inner shell.
243
00:16:57,724 --> 00:16:59,931
Technicians use
Liquid-silicone rubber
244
00:16:59,931 --> 00:17:01,586
To make the figure's skin.
245
00:17:04,931 --> 00:17:06,689
One technician connects a tube
246
00:17:06,689 --> 00:17:08,758
To the shell's
Mold-injection port
247
00:17:08,758 --> 00:17:10,344
While the other technician
248
00:17:10,344 --> 00:17:14,103
Operates
A high-pressure injector.
249
00:17:14,103 --> 00:17:17,896
The machine pumps silicone
Into the mold.
250
00:17:22,862 --> 00:17:26,448
The silicone cures inside
The mold for a few hours.
251
00:17:26,448 --> 00:17:28,517
Then a technician
Unfastens the bolts
252
00:17:28,517 --> 00:17:31,379
That are holding the shell
Tightly closed.
253
00:17:34,517 --> 00:17:37,344
Technicians take
The silicone skin
254
00:17:37,344 --> 00:17:39,724
Out of the injection shell mold.
255
00:17:39,724 --> 00:17:43,482
They inspect the skin to
Make sure there are no defects
256
00:17:43,482 --> 00:17:47,379
And that it mimics the features
Of the initial foam sculpture.
257
00:17:51,206 --> 00:17:55,000
They take the skin off the inner
Shell for manual touch-ups.
258
00:17:58,448 --> 00:18:00,896
A technician cleans up
The edges of the skin
259
00:18:00,896 --> 00:18:05,310
By trimming off small silicone
Strips called flashing.
260
00:18:09,448 --> 00:18:11,448
With small precision scissors,
261
00:18:11,448 --> 00:18:14,551
She meticulously trims off
All the flashing
262
00:18:14,551 --> 00:18:17,206
To make clean, seamless joints.
263
00:18:21,931 --> 00:18:25,275
A figure finisher inserts
The molded acrylic denture
264
00:18:25,275 --> 00:18:30,379
To check its fit
In the lower jaw skin.
265
00:18:30,379 --> 00:18:33,413
He checks the fit
Of the thermoformed eyeball
266
00:18:33,413 --> 00:18:35,413
Between the skin and the shell.
267
00:18:39,689 --> 00:18:42,689
A character painter
Uses an airbrush
268
00:18:42,689 --> 00:18:46,068
To paint the skin
With silicone paint.
269
00:18:46,068 --> 00:18:48,275
He adds multiple layers
Of paint,
270
00:18:48,275 --> 00:18:53,000
Giving the finish
Much more detail and realism.
271
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,413
A machinist mills a mechanical
Part for the metal frame.
272
00:18:57,413 --> 00:19:02,896
Thousands of stainless-steel and
Aluminum pieces need machining.
273
00:19:02,896 --> 00:19:08,586
He bores out holes for bearings
Inside each shaft.
274
00:19:08,586 --> 00:19:12,689
Each piece can be customized
To suit virtually any design
275
00:19:12,689 --> 00:19:17,172
And assembly requirement.
276
00:19:17,172 --> 00:19:21,931
An electronics engineer
Tests a control card.
277
00:19:21,931 --> 00:19:24,827
Each animated component
Of the figure is controlled
278
00:19:24,827 --> 00:19:28,379
By a card like this one.
279
00:19:28,379 --> 00:19:30,655
The electronics engineer
Connects the card
280
00:19:30,655 --> 00:19:32,241
To an oscillator tester
281
00:19:32,241 --> 00:19:34,965
To verify that the cylinder
Responds accurately
282
00:19:34,965 --> 00:19:39,172
To the electronic-input signal.
283
00:19:39,172 --> 00:19:42,206
A program on the card
Allows precise control
284
00:19:42,206 --> 00:19:44,206
Over the motion of the cylinder.
285
00:19:45,241 --> 00:19:47,310
The cylinders create motion,
286
00:19:47,310 --> 00:19:50,137
While the aluminum frame
Functions as the skeleton
287
00:19:50,137 --> 00:19:52,310
Supporting the movement.
288
00:19:54,137 --> 00:19:57,068
An animator assembles
Various parts
289
00:19:57,068 --> 00:20:00,137
Into the mechanical assembly.
290
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,137
He connects a cylinder
To the metal frame.
291
00:20:06,137 --> 00:20:09,068
Each cylinder is dedicated
To a specific function
292
00:20:09,068 --> 00:20:11,689
In the mechanical assembly.
293
00:20:11,689 --> 00:20:14,965
This cylinder activates
A finger in the hand assembly,
294
00:20:14,965 --> 00:20:19,000
Allowing it to curl up
In a smooth, seamless motion.
295
00:20:21,620 --> 00:20:25,241
The animator attaches
The hand assembly to the arm,
296
00:20:25,241 --> 00:20:27,620
Bolts it on at the elbow,
297
00:20:27,620 --> 00:20:32,275
And screws claws on the tip
Of each finger.
298
00:20:32,275 --> 00:20:36,034
The full frame of the figure
Is assembled on a test bench.
299
00:20:38,137 --> 00:20:40,310
A hydraulics-and-plumbing
Engineer
300
00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:42,448
Opens the compressed-air valve,
301
00:20:42,448 --> 00:20:45,620
Which powers
The pneumatic cylinders.
302
00:20:45,620 --> 00:20:48,862
The show controller
Runs random programs
303
00:20:48,862 --> 00:20:52,344
To test the response
Of the animatronic dinosaur.
304
00:20:52,344 --> 00:20:54,275
They check
Air-pressure variations
305
00:20:54,275 --> 00:20:56,655
In the hydraulic-cylinder tubes,
306
00:20:56,655 --> 00:21:00,310
As well as electronic direction
And amplitude commands.
307
00:21:00,310 --> 00:21:04,068
A creative director finally
Puts his seal of approval
308
00:21:04,068 --> 00:21:05,620
On the figure.
309
00:21:05,620 --> 00:21:09,137
A lot of effort goes into making
Such a complex machine
310
00:21:09,137 --> 00:21:11,586
Look like a living creature.
311
00:21:19,896 --> 00:21:22,448
If you have any comments
About the show,
312
00:21:22,448 --> 00:21:25,379
