Donut Transformer by OSKAR

#1

Hi iMaterialise fans,

Donut Transformer is a piece of kinetic art. It has no practical purpose. One can push the handles and gradually transform the donut shape into a straight shape and back. The effect is achieved with a gear mechanism that is hidden inside the parts.

Watch the YouTube video.
Buy the toy at my iMaterialise Shop.

Check out the photos below.

Enjoy!

Here is a new version with a more rugged handle. There is also a photo that shows the mechanism.

It could be used as a retractable bridge.
