This triple gear is a real thing, and thanks to some intricate math and the advent of 3-D printing, it exists. Before this, at least as far as I can tell, a triple-meshed gear required one of the gears to turn in the opposite direction as the other two. That is no longer the case.
I can’t for the life of me imagine what this would be used in, but hey … at least we have it now. Get to designing!

Second shot in Marat Kazei Park. 16/04/2013
I went to the beach the other day, for the first time since I was a child, I didnt wear shorts or anything to cover up, this is a massive deal for me, I hate my body even without the scars, I believe I am fat and disgusting but, I pushed through the major anxiety, shaking and almost crying and made it to the water. Its a big deal, I did it.
This took a whole fucking lot of courage to post..I think you are fucking beautiful. And im super proud of you for still being on this earth still. And for being able to work up the courage to go to the beach and take this picture with out covering up. Love, I don’t know you but I think your beautiful and I think you have so much worth. From one human to another thats struggling thank you and I love you. You give me hope. You give me courage. I’m not much and im not all that together either but please know whatever your going through, your not alone. Seriously you are so beautiful. Thank you.

A Spark is All It Takes by Charlotte Estelle Littlehales
The math: 2,600 matchsticks, 720 minutes to create, and 1 minute of fiery immolation to undo it all; Charlotte’s typographic matchstick design is a testament to the creative and sometimes destructive power of imagination.
Artist Nike Savvas transforms mathematic formulas into beautiful sculptures.
Oh yes.
Math is so pretty.
What she said.
