Paradoxical Gears
thingiverse
I reversed engineered the concept of paradoxical gears around Oskar Van Deventer's renditions. By studying his YouTube videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGAnmRb66s0) and other references, I designed a model that mirrors his design with identical results. The unique aspect of these gears is their ability to turn in the same direction as well as opposite directions, depending on how they're turned. Although they're extremely inefficient, paradoxical gears are undeniably fascinating and counterintuitive to understand.
