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
