Hoberman’s ring

[Edveiga]

I saw at Meccano Nuts on Facebook a Meccano version of this kinectic sculpture built by Andrew Knox.
I was charmed by it and, in order to document it, I drew it with Virtual Mec.
I am away from my PC at this moment, but I intend to share my drawing here later today.
In the meantime you can watch it moving on the link below.
I did not build it in real life.
I did some modifications to bypass a large spur gear not present on the Meccano’s set of standard parts.

I attach here my Virtual Mec file of my assembly as well as some pictures of it
