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 result
was really interesting.

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.
