Optical illusion. "Circle in the Circle" mechanism. 錯視


Probably this is the first Cardano’s Hypocycloid mechanical model, not animation, that model makers have ever built.
This motion was described first by Nicolaus Copernicus
Consider two circles of radii R and R/2 with the smaller one rolling inside the bigger circle without slipping. Copernicus’ Theorem states a surprising result that a point on the circumference of the small circle traces a straight line segment – a diameter of the big circle, to be precise.

The white balls appear to be moving as a circle rolling inside of the lager circle.But what you see is actually not true. This is an optical illusion.The true path of each ball is a straight line.
The mechanical design was made by Girolamo Cardano.
Cardano’s work with hypocycloids led him to the Cardan joint or gear mechanism, in which a pair of gears with the smaller being one-half the size of the larger gear is used converting rotational motion to linear motion

humangear GoToob+ … The ultimate silicone travel bottle


The new standard in silicone bottles… from the company who set the first standard in silicone bottles.

The GoToob+ keeps all the features people love about the original GoToob, including the food-grade silicone body, the leakproof valve in the cap, and the distinctive, packable shape. In addition, it adds features like the new patent-pending LoopLock, which makes it almost impossible to open the cap accidentally. The LoopLock can also be used to hang the GoToob+ from a hook or to clip it to the outside of a pack. And there’s a new textured area to write in the contents as well as a 25% larger opening for easier filling & cleaning.

Now available in four sizes (small, medium, large, and new XL) and ten colors.
