Gemini-generated Three.js museum of Victorian clockwork deep-sea automata

creatoroff · x · 2026-10-26

A creator used Gemini ("Argon High / Antigravity") to generate "BATHYSCAPHE // Pelagic Automaton Vol. IV" — an interactive Three.js archive reimagining deep-sea cnidarians as 19th-century brass-and-flint-glass clockwork automata inside a Victorian lithographic plate.

The spec is extraordinarily detailed: a moon jelly driven by a 1Hz pendulum with a Cardan gimbal, Graham deadbeat escapement, and eight clevis rods articulating glass bell lobes; a by-the-wind sailor powered by a 12-bucket Pelton water turbine. Code to be released on GitHub.
