TL;DR
This paper introduces a novel non-planar gear arrangement where three linked gears can move, overcoming the typical constraints of planar gear setups that prevent movement.
Contribution
The work presents the first non-planar, non-frozen configuration of three linked gears that can rotate, expanding the possibilities for gear design and mechanical linkages.
Findings
Demonstrates a non-planar gear configuration that can move.
Shows that linked gears can be arranged to avoid being frozen.
Provides a new geometric approach to gear arrangements.
Abstract
A relatively common sight in graphic designs is a planar arrangement of three gears in contact. However, since neighboring gears must rotate in opposite directions, none of the gears can move. We give a non-planar, and non-frozen, arrangement of three linked gears.
