Something i’m pondering at the moment is the idea of mechanism with motion, first set in motion 250-ish years ago, that can still move.

I saw this mechanical wonder at the Bowes Museum, UK a few years back.

it’s a thing of beauty, art and genius. 

The footage here doesn’t do it justice. because when I saw it sitting in the middle of the room. It’s sparkled and glittered.
