Is quite a good one of a simple orrery that only models the sun, earth and
moon. I'm sure it would be possible to use a turntable or 40t gear and then
put gears on the arm to change the gearing to make a Lego version. However
my slate is full. I need a new burner to put behind the back one so I can
have somewhere to put this plan.
