End-to-end system that lets non-engineers design human-scale, human-powered oscillating machines by swapping truss edges for coil-springs, tuning amplitude/tempo/effort, and auto-selecting spring constants and masses. Uses a SketchUp plugin and a simulation server that translates models to differential equations and samples the nonlinear parameter space in parallel. Outputs part lists, welded-steel stencils and jigs; a dinosaur swing with 2–4 DOF is built and validated with three accelerometers showing simulated frequencies match measured ones.
