This video is giving me a hard time. It is supposed to be a wooden gear heart not trunk monkey video.
If you can't see the gear heart then search you tube for Gear's Heart. It is a Japanese video. For some reason my computer keeps showing the wrong one and I can't delete it.

I have seen the trunk monkey videos before, but I still had a good laugh.
Sorry to derail the train. Now back to our normally scheduled programming.

Love the trunk monkey.Originally Posted by Dewey Torres
The heart is v.v. cool as well. I'd note, however, that one commenter said the heart gears are hand cut folded *paper*, not wood. Either way, it is pretty remarkable.

Wow...that is amazing. Now to find someone around me who speaks Japanese...they all speak Chinese here!

I Googled around. They are by a guy named Haruki Nakamura and are made of paper. Hard to believe, whatever they are made of.

Amazing. Few in the world could accomplish that.
I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.

I'm betting the "paper" is more like micarta. Probably infused with epoxy before or after shaping. The design is cool, but I'm guessing there was a LOT of trial and error getting it to fit, not super genius mechanical engineering. Not that I could have done it, and I AM an ME!Engineers can be too rigid in their thinking sometimes, takes an artist for something like that.
