Mechanical Genius

  1. AI. The big giveaway is the gears for the lower wheel don't move right, the satellite brown geas are OK but the geats behind them are different sizes, yet they are turned the same speed by the sun gear behind the washer.

    1. It might not be AI-generated. I believe that the apparent discrepancy may be explained by that the two gears at 8 o’clock are spinning on a common axis yet are not fixed relative to each other, allowing different rotational speeds. The two gears at 4 o’clock also share a common axis but apparently are both fixed to that axis, causing both gears to spin together at the same rotational speed.

  2. If you think that is mechanical genius you should take a look at Wintergatan's marble machine: https://youtu.be/IvUU8joBb1Q?si=c0rEOc31hFt1BoK-
