rocket Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) Can these Gears can rotate ??? The answer: (Using SolidWorks ) Edited November 7, 2017 by rocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The three gears in a flat plane like that will not work. It doesn't take a Solidworks video to prove the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a fun question. But It's nice. The Solidworks Video gives the exactly answer. The important is SolidWorks Video reminded us see everything in 3D field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 My grandkids have a play set of lots of gears and stuff that turns on top, could have checked without the need for a few $000 worth of software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 It could be figured out using one finger on both hands too. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrm Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 The shadowing in the original photo of the three gears indicates that the gears lie on the same plane unlike the lame Solidworks solution that places them on different planes (and introduces a 4th gear). If you want to think out-of-the-box for a "yes" answer to the question I would suggest consider rotating the 3 gears as one unit about an axis parallel to the viewing plane and not perpendicular as most viewer will assume.

ReMark Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Isn't there a solution that uses screws instead of gears? Thought I came across that once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
