62 Gears Render - Flash Anim

Description

I started with 42 gears, but, upon editing, was able to squeeze in an additional 20 (6-tooth, magenta) gears
 
42 large gears are identical (excepting color, of course)

• Yellow gears: 20 teeth, 12 count
• Cyan gears: 20 teeth, 30 count
• Magenta gears: 6 teeth, 20 count

Yellow gears aligned with icosahedron vertices • Cyan gears aligned with icosahedron-edge mid-points • Magenta gears (hard to see the color, down in between the teeth, I know) are centered on icosahedron faces

Polyhedral basis for gear positioning: Truncated triacontahedron faces

Large-gear rotation axes are aligned with the faces of a truncated triacontahedron, or looked at another way, with the vertices of a frequency 2v, class-I geodesic tessellation of the icosahedron

• Modeled in Google SketchUp
• 10 frames; rendered in Kerkythea
• Animated in Sothink SWF Quicker
