    Trillion-year gear reduction kinetic sculpture machine - video and photo

    Each of the 12 worm gears reduces the speed by 1/50th. The result is that the final gear would take trillions of years to make a single revolution, and can thus be encased in concrete. Created by Arthur Ganson, an artist-in-residence at MIT.
