Can these Gears can rotate ???

The answer:

(Using SolidWorks )

The three gears in a flat plane like that will not work. It doesn't take a Solidworks video to prove the point.

This is a fun question. But It's nice. The Solidworks Video gives the exactly answer. The important is SolidWorks Video reminded us see everything in 3D field

My grandkids have a play set of lots of gears and stuff that turns on top, could have checked without the need for a few $000 worth of software.

It could be figured out using one finger on both hands too. LOL

The video is utter garbage and a complete waste of anyone's time.

So that's two thumbs down? Guess I can skip the popcorn and soda.

The shadowing in the original photo of the three gears indicates that the gears lie on the same plane unlike the lame Solidworks solution that places them on different planes (and introduces a 4th gear). If you want to think out-of-the-box for a "yes" answer to the question I would suggest consider rotating the 3 gears as one unit about an axis parallel to the viewing plane and not perpendicular as most viewer will assume.

Isn't there a solution that uses screws instead of gears? Thought I came across that once.
