How mechanisms work, one loop at a time.

Short, silent films of the machines inside everyday things: Geneva drives, cams, ratchets, gears, linkages and escapements. Each shows what the mechanism does, the one idea that makes it work, and then the mechanism at work in something real. Every film is drawn from the mechanism's own geometry, so what moves on screen is what the parts actually do.
