Geodesic cage, of helical gear arrangement, that I've been modeling in SketchUp over the past week:

I've posted the model of just the gears, at the 3D Warehouse:

In case you haven't seen Adrian's gears, check them here. I really like your animation, too.

Thanks, Dick,

Adrian's animations played part in the impetus for building the
SketchUp model. I wanted to get a bit more complicated (and boy-oh-
boy, was it complicated.)

Regarding getting the right number of teeth on each disk, luck had as
much to do with it, as did any "skill"

Lots of trial-and-error....

It makes a pretty nice lampshade, too.
