Many a carnivals, toy stores, and shopping malls are graced with delightful carousels that capture the joy of both children and adults alike. They can be large enough to ride or small enough to be a decoration. Most of these carousels are created with poles that move up and down over a wave-like path that guides the pole up and down as they revolve around the carousel's center. Our project goal was to re-create a carousel that instead uses gears and linkages to recreate this vertical and rotational motion.
