The mechanical system in question can be seen on a YouTube video shared by Thang010146. A unique hinge mechanism, featuring two interconnected parallelograms, effectively generates a circular trajectory. The system's animation was achieved through Simlab Composer 8 Mechanical Edition. Graphics for the GIFs were generated using PhotoScape. Further refinements to the rendered visuals were carried out with IrfanView. An assortment of files - namely, SIMLAB files along with FBX, BLENDER, and 3D-PDF file types, an animated OBJ, IGES, Parasolid and STEP are also available. Additionally, a DAE format version of this mechanical model exists, along with versions available in Simlab Composer 8 itself, 3DS, DWF, Blender and even FBX for access.
