That's really neat. I've never seen gears like that before, especially in a demo :)

I have seen static diagrams of square gears, and understood how they meshed, but I hadn't seen them in action until today.

Nice find.

This term (Kinetic Sculptures) I had to google to understand what it is about. The YouTube (http://www.google.de/search?q=Kinetic+Sculptures&hl=de&client=firefox-a&hs=6XM&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=ivns&source=univ&tbm=vid&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=yzbtTbLMNtDCswbD-_TnCg&ved=0CFEQqwQ) result

Theo Jansen is a genius, lots of people have used his idea.

I first saw his sculptures on a TV program a couple of years ago.
