Feasibility study, for potential photo-realistic rendering

• Red gears: 20 teeth, 12 count
• Blue gears: 24 teeth, 20 count
• Yellow gears: 13 teeth, 60 count

Red gears aligned with icosahedron vertices • Blue gears aligned with dodecahedron vertices

Polyhedral basis for red & blue gears: buckyball

Regarding all 92 gears, the central rotation axes are aligned with the vertices of a frequency 3v, class-I geodesic tessellation of an icosahedron

Modeled in SketchUp • Animated in JASC Animation Shop

Minor edit (28 July 2011): Adjusted GIF dither, to reduce obvious color "banding," and added internal "geodesic cage" support frame

Rendered version; work-in-progress, so far: 92 Gears - Caged

The numbers 21 and 13 are surprising to me.

And so are the counts 20 for blue and 12 for red. At first glance I would expect the reds to have a multiple of 5 and the blues to have a multiple of 6.

Quite right, Hollister, :doh:

I revised the model, but failed to revise the metrics in the text description. I have, today, corrected that oversight.

The red (pentagonal/dodecahedral center) gear tooth-count is, indeed, a multiple of 5, and the blue (triangular/icosahedral center) tooth-count is divisible by 3.

Getting the yellow gear tooth-count correct was a matter of trial & error, by resizing the red & blue gear diameters. I had to "sneek up" on a reasonable solution.

About a day.

(Actually, just about all of a day! I'd have to say ~15 hrs.)
