Wobbly Planets

Description

Wobbly Planets was designed with the Gearify v2 software by Michael Valle (https://www.gearifysoftware.com/). I was invited as beta tester of new version 2, which suppors involute gears. This planetary gear system has three elliptial planet gears, an elongated sun gear with twofold symmetry, and a pentagram-like annulus. It is a fidget toy. Its purpose to turn it endlessly and to stay mesmerized.
