Description

Quiksilver is prototype #1 for the Automata Project. Quiksilver is a display of straight tooth helical gears in the spur arrangement with 10 teeth, a 1:1 ratio. The gear movement is displayed between two bases created by using radii and tangents and features slots that are parallel to the base. I focused the center of interest on where the gears meet right between the two upper radii.
