I would hate to think of the bill for workman's comp. That looks like something like a bucking bull and 8 seconds come rather quick compared to operating that for 4 hours. It would have me in the emergency room after just a few cycles of that jerking back and forth. I seen a video of a set up a man built that did all the same actions as he stood on the ground pulling leavers. This creator need his brain examined.

Non circular gears are primarily used for attracting attention creating the mesmerizing effect in most designs. However there are a few real life applications in which the non circular gears play a large part in the mechanical performance of machines, shaft velocities can increased and decreased as the pitch diameter varies without the need for changing the actual gear ratio this action in turn vastly changes the torque output as well.. I seam to remember some ag equipment that was antique when I was a teen that had non circular gearing one in-particular was an animal drawn single row planter which through the arrangement of goofy gears caused the seeds to be placed at odd intervals the spacing reminded me of a Beethoven symphony dit,dit,dit, daaa, Also we had a Bermuda grass spriger that had these so the concept while not at all that common has been around for eons

Just like the video which they were balling hay. It is something we just let die out with technology, but that technology we are able to do with electric and mechanical power. Like the planter that did so many things simultaneously with out dropping a beat. I wonder at times what the world would be like if every did not go through the stages to where we are today. It was not an easy life but there are rewards to everything.
