Gear Puzzle Trophy

This is a Trophy full of mind stretching fun.

The 36 degree build is achieved by the 3:4:5 triangle ratio, making it a firm build, while also giving those who build it, a chance to work out the maths behind it. (9 hinges and 4 studs make up the connection points).

Once built, it can simply be a cool ornament, or it can bring about hours of mind stretching fun!

The gears, hearts and lightbulb, are ready to be connected by gears to make various movements. The challenge is to make them move in certain ways.

First, make all parts move. Next, make the gears all move in one direction, then in different speeds. As for the hearts, make them rock rather than spin, or move in and out! Can you figure out how to make the lightbulb rise up, or only spin occasionally?

The extra gears are kept in the compartment in the base.
