Gyres - simple kinetic sculptures

Super Simple The only moving parts on each Gyre are a wooden wheel and two bearings. Thre are no springs, no weights, and no complex mechanisms to build.		Quick to Build With their low part counts and simple construction, it is possible to build each Gyre in as little as one day.		Organic Forms Gyres' shapes match their motions; they're smooth and flowing. All the forms are curved and tapered, with no parallel lines, and no straight edges.		Hypnotic Motion Gyres create a fascinating and hypnotizing motion, creating the illusion that their spinning wheels are both growing and shrinking at the same time.
