Just a random thing I got linked to today that I thought might be of some value to teaching students gear ratios.

http://www.gearsket.ch

And it's open source https://github.com/frankleenaars/gearsketch

Is this what Dean uses to design his clocks/trophies?

YES....

You might want to add an idler or 20.

It appears that the original site went down (too many CDers using it perhaps? :D ) so I mirrored it on my own server at http://socaldevs.com/gearsketch
The only difference is that I added a link to the open source license according to the terms of redistribution included with the license.
Enjoy :)
