Non-Circular Gear Trains: a survey of a few designs using gears with some interesting shapes that can produce variations in rotation speeds, including two oblong gears, a triangle-square-oval train, two logarithmic spiral gears, and a four squircle gear set. A small sample of the infinite possible shape combinations and arrangements of non-circular gear sets. With thanks to @jeux.efce for sending me these wonderful laser cut gears and mounts. ➡️ Follow the link in my profile for info on where to

Razor Planetary Gear Fidget: planetary gear train with non-circular gears! This piece of kinetic art features a 6-sided sun gear, six 3-sided planetary gears, all held within the 12-sided space of the annular gear. Note that holding one planetary gear fixed produces curious motion- although the other planetary gears move they do not spin about their axes (3 pointing up and 3 pointing down). An amazing 3D print design by Graham Watson that produces a fully assembled device with trapped components
