3D printing has promised us a future where everything will be available on demand, not just media. But in the meantime the technology seems to have found a niche as a way to produce mind-boggling geared creations that appear to skirt the laws of physics and the universe.
If you’re calling shenanigans on Henry Segerman’s triple-geared creation, you can actually order and try one out for yourself from Shapeways for around £25. Or just stomach your cynicism, save yourself some money, and marvel at this video of his creation. [Shapeways via Make]













So fake. If you pause at 1:23, you will see a shadow appear in frame from no where.
Also, 3 circular gear cogs are not native to southern england and cogs only hunt by night. This video was obviously shot in the day.
At 2:03 Just before the eagle drops the cogs, it not only keeps on ascending, but seems to accelerate.
This is obviously fake. Poor CG.
You heard it here folks.
If that is CG I would like to hire the person that made it.
I think it would be easier to 3D print them gears, quite interesting. Might have a go myself at something like that in my dinner.
I feel you missed the eagle reference.
They’re easy to miss, the way they sneak up behind you.
Damn you Don Henley.

**re reads** …. Bugger.
No. No I won’t. It’s a series of interlocking, rotating objects. That is all.
Yep, very slow news day. What a shit article
Completely pointless, no real world application except as a desk decoration. Yes 3D printing is good and can make things like this, but how would you possibly locate this series of gears to transmit any form of motion, let alone power… and isn’t that the point of gears?
Then you will really hate these!

I can think of several uses for interlocking axis independent gears
Looks like a crazy large version of the Gilwell Woggle.

I want one, would play with it every time I get stuck on something, would make me feel like a “busy” computer hahaha
