Geodesic Gear Sphere

Hypnotic!
-
This is superb!
I wondered the same thing as slimdog when I saw this though. Where would the gears meet and what could be powering it? ( just a thought)

Cool indeed!
Great to see more of your amazing work. -
I'm gratified that you folks are liking this.
I've decided to embark upon striving to learn Adobe Flash. As my first production, I converted this particular animated-gif into an animated-flash (adding sound, as "lagniappe.")
(Clickable image)
I am, right away, impressed with Flash. The SWF-animation has much-higher color resolution (24-bit), yet the jpeg-compression can be adjusted to produce a file no bigger than the animated-GIF. 'Looking forward to learning more about Flash.

Dear Taff,
I have taken these pictures, thinking they where for you: it is "time" with this wonderful geodesic watchmaking to offer them to you.
La Géode, Cité des Sciences, La Villette, Paris.
Cheers, simon.
PS: I love the "doom" sound of your machinery into the flash animation.

Thanks, Simon,
I've long admired La Géode, from photos I've seen online.
It would be great to visit (adding to a long list of other geodesic-architecture landmarks.)
