Description

A fun kinetic sculpture that will keep your friends in awe.  It looks like it should be impossible.  Two rotating spirals constantly tightening in on each other but never getting stuck.

 

It is powered by the yellow TT Motor sold on Maker's Supply (MakerWorld). In addition to the motor it uses 4 small gears purchased through Amazon, and a couple of pieces of 2 mm carbon rod also found at Amazon.  

 

If you like kinetic sculptures you can find more in my Twirly Gig collection.


Here is a video of the sculpture in motion:
