Hi all, Here is my latest kinetic art piece:
The nine pods all oscillate at slightly different speeds, so the pattern is always changing, and repeats about every 5 minutes.
The two at the ends are directly geared in a 9:10 ratio. The others are driven by differentials which successively average the speeds. This means that the speeds are in the ratios 72:73:74:75:76:77:78:79:80.
At various times, it produces 1 wave, 2 interlacing waves, and 3 synchronized color sets.
Enjoy!
