Re: Square and Elliptical Gears
Coolest application of elliptical gears I've ever heard of:
One Christmas, the engineers at DEKA constructed a clock for Dean Kamen made from elliptical gears.
The result?
The clock moves slower during the 8 hours of "work day" than during the rest of the day (during which time it speeds up to compensate).
Hilarious.
The perfect gift for ANY boss.
