Cool rings

There was a UK TV series called the secret life of machines, and the presenter Tim Hunkin makes the most excellent machines... like this "Digital Clock".

The juggling machines reminded me of the show but also like kinetic sculptures such as Strandbeest or Koenig's sphere (although it's no longer a kinetic sculpture, the mechanism was destroyed when buildings and aeroplanes fell on it), hence the question.In reply to this comment by Lann:
That was cool!

Sorry for the delay in responding but the only kinetic things I have made was a balancing piece (sort of like a weather vane) and magnetic jewelry. Actually my very first rings had magnets, foam and/or felt in them (each "bubble" had a magnet)

See what you think of this one about juggling machines. One is an old fashioned automata (it really cheats using wires rather than juggling), and the other does bounce juggling.

Have you made, or considered making, kinetic sculpture?

This isn't getting a speeding ticket soon...

Even in a straight line, I think the hollow wheels are what seriously limit its speed because the inability to drive at the axle produces a critical mechanical disadvantage. There is no room for any gears that are larger than the wheels, so the engine must always run many RPMs faster than the outer edge of the tires. It's why, on a bicycle, the gears mounted to the peddles are always larger than the gears mounted on the axle of the back tire. So, yeah, it's basically a kinetic sculpture--but still a really cool one!

What's limiting it's speed is a complete inability to lean more than a few degrees. Great piece of art, but it looks completely un-useable.
