Abstract: A mechanical amplifier and method for converting a small motion amplitude to a larger motion amplitude are disclosed. The method includes using two or more beams which are connected in series at angles to each other. Undesirable movements arising in the structure are absorbed by the structure through torsion. Each beam is a mechanical motion amplifier, and by connecting these in series, the total amplification is the product of the amplification of the comprised beams. The disclosure also pertains to a device comprising two or more beams connected together at an angle of 90 degrees in one embodiment.
