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

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

Great, another way for me to waste time on the computer. THANKS Andrew.

This thing is super fun to play with!

That was the hope

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

You might want to add an idler or 20.

And here I thought I was cool, making a gear go really slow…

OWilliamson · July 31, 2013, 5:42pm

It appears that the original site went down (too many CDers using it perhaps? ) 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
