    Hi Shapeways fans,

    Balancing Gears is a puzzle in the wotsit category. It is balancing act with gears. Because of the gearing ratios, the hollow red gear will always remain on top of the other gears. This is a proof of concept, to see whether the red gear does indeed stay at top, and to see how stable the set up is. Like with many of my gearing mechanisms, also this one does not have an obvious application.

    Watch the YouTube video.
    Buy the puzzle at my Shapeways Shop.

    Enjoy!
