TKSST: Hypocycloid Circular Motion Optical Illusion
A circle made of points, shown here with small white balls, appears to roll around the inside edge of a larger circle, but is that what’s really happening? File under: Cycloids, hypocycloids, and optical illusions. This mechanical gear design, demonstrated by the Visual Education Project and originally developed by Italian polymath Girolamo Cardano (1501-1576), demonstrates how circular motion can result from linear motion...
