Toy mechanism composed of two main hyperboloidal gears that interact with each other, triggered by a handle that rotates the pieces. The toy’s purpose is create a simple movement that relieves stress when used. It's created from the basis of two cylinders with shifted loop vertices at a shaft angle of 45 degrees, each side on the opposite direction to equally match each other. A small, fun toy to relieve stress during a short work break.
