Just in case I'm not the only one who hasn't seen it before . . .

The Do Nothing Machine

It just popped up when I was browsing earlier. Looks like something I might have made if I had more free time

Magnificent!

It's worth bearing (oops) in mind that all those mechanisms individually do have real uses.

Even things like that elliptical gear – an example of many solutions for applications needing variable-velocity ratios and the like.
