I'm choosing to believe it's the parents causing the lock-up in that image.
Took me a second... Hahaha
Some may not realise that this setup of gears would just lock up
Some of them may be graphic designers
The graphic designers apparently understand the education system though.
Is there a way to arrange three gears in a way that won't lock up (maybe in a line)
Making the 2 smaller ones not touch each other or one of the small ones not touching with the big one would do it
For those that don't get it
The way the gears are arranged will result in a grid lock - you won't be able to turn any of them.
Rotating one clock-wise (CW) will rotate another counter-clock-wise (CCW), and the 3rd gear will spin CW. Because the first and 3rd gear are close enough to be in contact, and they're both rotating CW, they are opposing each other resulting in them being locked
Ie. none of this will work
Yup on a 2 dimensional surface or if all three share a plane it’ll never work. Only way would be if one was extruded and the other two weren’t touching.
Where do I read more a out the theory behind this?
