  5. Una cosa es que funcionen, cosa que parece evidente, y otra que tengan alguna aplicación práctica en la transmisión de potencia en la vida real, fuera de demostraciones teóricas, atractivas, como estas.

  6. It's not pointless, non-cicular gears are used in many devices including CVT transmissions because you can tune the qualities you desire in power transmission, for example in a circular gear your torque is constant as the gears rotate, but with square gears torque can vary depending on where the gear is
