It has its uses.

That is the least practical cog I've ever seen.

>>1287739

No it isn't, you just don't understand it.
It's designed to keep the red cog in place and only revolve exactly 1/6th of a revolution.

Oh that's neat, what things use it?

Think of clocks with a seconds hand that turns suddenly rather than smoothly.

things that require exact 1/6th of a circle movement per time unit?

you could replace it with a bunch of gears, but the same is true for anything that isn't a simple machine

engineering preference, I guess

Some one make these in Little Big Planet.

Or in Garry's mod.

Wouldn't work, would they? I mean these depend on frictionless surfaces (are they available in either game?) and something to start them off to begin with.

>> No.1288071

>>1287986
In Little Big Planet the glass acts as or like a frictionless surface.

>> No.1288094

>>1287986
Garry's mod has a tool to remove friction.
