Wheel Paradox Exhibit
Turn a coupled-wheel mechanism and compare the distances associated with two different wheel sizes.
REFERENCE VIEWS · IMAGE SEQUENCE
Inspect the reference.
A fifteen-second sequence of five catalogue design images. Review the overall arrangement and component details; the sequence does not demonstrate physical operation or simulated 3D movement.
This film sequences existing reference images. It is not continuous operating footage or a moving 3D simulation; final function and configuration follow the agreed project.
THE ACTIVITY & MECHANISM
Compare one turn with two different circumferences.
Turn the handwheel to move the coupled large and small gears through a revolution and compare the racks beneath them. Although the gears turn together, their circumferences are different. The source design allows the rack under the smaller gear to slide; its displacement accounts for the difference between the distances associated with the two gear circumferences. This makes Aristotle's wheel paradox visible as a question about constraints and relative motion. A small smooth wheel could slip, whereas meshing gear teeth require the corresponding rack movement instead.
- 01
Turn through one revolution
Turn the handwheel and follow the coupled large and small gears.
- 02
Watch the smaller rack
Observe the rack beneath the smaller gear as the mechanism moves.
- 03
Compare distances
Compare the rack displacement with the difference between the large and small circumferences; discuss what would happen if both racks were fixed.

Explore the supportDelivery, installation & after-sales terms
- Payment
- A 50% deposit is payable after the contract is signed. The remaining balance is paid after acceptance and before dispatch, so full payment is received before dispatch. Payment methods are agreed in the contract.
- Packaging & transport
- Metal shipping cases or multilayer wood-panel shipping cases. Transport arrangements and costs are agreed to suit the project.
- Materials & painted finish
- Common material options include Q235 steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloy, PVC, acrylic, engineering plastics. The combination is selected for each configuration. Marine anti-corrosion paint with a piano-gloss automotive paint finish. Applied to painted parts.
- Typical power · powered versions
- Standard products: 100–500 W; oversized installations: 1,000–5,000 W. Typical ranges for powered versions. Confirm the selected model and final connected load.
- Product maintenance
- Inspect removable pieces, moving parts, fasteners and the visitor controls before use. Follow the supplied operating sequence and scheduled maintenance every 30 days.
- Installation & training
- Complimentary training is available on site or remotely, according to project needs. If installation or on-site after-sales service is not included in the product price, the customer pays the actual travel expenses incurred, unless the contract provides otherwise.
- Factory acceptance & handover
- Mid-production and pre-dispatch checks are provided. Factory acceptance can take place in person at the factory or through acceptance videos. Installation and operating videos, written installation and operating instructions, drawings and a spare-parts list are provided.
- Complimentary parts
- 24 months of complimentary spare-parts support, starting when the exhibit is handed over for use. Covers faults not caused by the user. User-caused or deliberate damage is excluded. Exhibit Engineers pays the shipping cost of complimentary spare parts during the 24-month support period.
- Warranty & repair labour
- The whole-exhibit warranty period and repair labour scope and charges are agreed in the contract.
Can we discuss a prototype or sample for a custom version?
Yes. Prototype testing and sample fabrication are available for custom projects. Discuss which functions or features you need to review for your version. The scope, cost and schedule are agreed for the project.
How prototype testing & samples workWhat can we discuss for our setting?
Share the learning theme, visitor group, room plan and preferred interaction. Confirm the appearance, dimensions, controls and interpretation for the version you need.
What should we confirm before ordering?
Review the final configuration, operating instructions, power and installation needs, maintenance access and supply responsibilities with the project team.
