it's from "origami from rectangle" (chohokei de oru) by kasahara
(don't know but maybe it's kinda new)
his versions are much more elegant than mine, yet i couldn't resist to elaborate...

But cats are of Kawasaki. :wink: That book of Kasahara is interested to me. (Did I say it properly? I am lazy to look to dictionary for today.)

hi ondrej the cdo - (centro diffusione origami) has it.
unfortunately a damn lot gets lost in the japanese text, and, since the subject is particular, that's a pity.
i'll see if i can fold some other models from there, but i'm not sure if that goes according to my folding plans : )

You are indeed right Ondrej, the Cats are Kawasaki's design. They seem more like Kasahara's style, but excellent nevertheless. :)

Origami Programmable Operating Computer

- Folded from rectangles without glue – modular origami
- Can Program (change) 16 letters to form up to 16 - four letter words

This model is NOT finished yet - I need to add another binary distributor on the top and a ramp for feeding the balls to the mechanism !


- Can program 8 sequences for how letters will change
- Is powered by gravity – rolling a ball
- The letters are folded from uncut squares

You are just crazy. Your previous things (bush car etc.) were just play(game or how to say), but this is real serious work! Amazing!

Could you please write some statistic? I think, it will be very interesting. For example number of sheets, time etc. Thanks for your effort, its great, really great.

Amazing!
Heath Robinson, Alan Turing & Charles Babbage meet origami.
Ingenious! =D>
Can't wait to see the additional contructs and finished version.

Thank you, I will give it a go, despite the blurriness. What is that tiled floor you are folding on? It's very distinctive.

I hadn't seen any posts from you, firstfold, in awhile. Now I know on what you were working! Truly amazing work. That should go in the Smithsonian.

Perhaps you can increase the power of the origami computer exponentially by developing smaller binary distributors :lol: Really great work-that is a wonderful idea!

I continue with my Gómez-folding.

Fernando Gilgado Gómez
Mammut


bigger paper than before, I guess about 35 cm square
Absolutely great model, I like it so much (and also my son, it is his favorite), I like especially stylization of the model, this model uses the same base as baby elephant of Joseph Wu.

Nice model - we all need a little bit of geometry, evry now and then I dust off a david mitchell book and fold some variation on a rhomboid cuboctohedron or similar :)

Ondrej, my favourite of the simiple Gilgado Gomez dinosaurs is the cute little stegosaurus, despite the back being so completely open you have to 'shape' it together. I also like the triceratops.
On my velociraptor the legs would splay too much and not stand up without artifical support, which was dissapointing.
