25 gears with a ratio of 120/14. the first gear moves at 79.2 RPM. The last wheel will make one revolution in five hundred and ninety-four billion years. So it doesn't matter that it's embedded in concrete

Do a search for 'Arthur Ganson' for more cool machine art things.

I went to a steam rally yesterday...obviously nothing was on the scale of some of the stuff in this thread but it was awesome...both my grandad and my uncle are engineers/inventors so it was great having the mechanisms of stuff explained to me (I didn't inherit any of their technical/practical abilities sadly).

Very sick thread though, awesome stuff.
