GearsBrass gears on a pegboard. Spin one and the whole train turns. Add gears, belts, a swing arm and a slider.

About Chill Pond
Chill Pond is a small collection of calm, tactile toys: sand, water, soap film, kinetic sand, ferrofluid, wooden blocks, a lava lamp, a rainy window, a rolling marble, a board of gears, a silicone bubble tray and more. Each one is a real-time simulation you can touch, so sand piles up, water ripples and towers topple the way you expect them to.
There is nothing to win and nothing to keep up with. Open a toy for a minute between things, fidget while you think, or wind down before bed. Sound starts off, except in Zen Bells, Bubble Wrap and Push Pop, where the sound is half the fun. The speaker button turns it on or off for every toy, and Chill Pond remembers your choice.
