Mathematician and maker Henry Segerman shows expanding racks in three dimensions, a mechanical idea of structures that grow outward in all directions. The video demonstrates physical models of the mechanism.
Submitted twice in 2025 and 2026 as a neat piece of 3D mechanism design, and one commenter links it as a source of an idea they met again.
