Perpetual Motion
by raju, published
Description
There are slogans on the faces. I originally designed this cardboard toy to advertise the Make Lab at our school arts festival called ArtRageous. I called it a mechanical donut, but my more artistic colleagues called it "Perpetual Motion"
Feel free to put in your own slogans!
Albertus Mus in the Discussion comments also pointed out earlier work related to these folding designs. Check out:
(1) IsoAxis ( ac-noumea.nc/maths/polyhedr/IsoAxis_.htm )
(2) Kaleidocycles ( kaleidocycles.de/ )

Thank you very much for the reference to prior art and designs.
I was not trying to claim any sort of copyright, but trying to share the concept with a Copyleft/GPL, (which you can see in the drawing PDF file) but unfortunately it shows up with a

Instructions
If cut by laser, the folding is a lot easier. The more accurately you make it, the better it moves.
The .cdr file (Corel Draw format) can print to an Epilog Zing Laser. If you do not have Corel Draw, you can print the .pdf file.

This is a variation on designs found in 'MC Escher Kaleidocycles' by Doris Schattschneider
&
amp; Wallace Walker published by Tarquin Publications in 1977. The original kaleidocycle was patented in 1958 by Wallace Walker as IsoAxis. I don't think you can claim any sort of copyright.
