Claim Text:
1. A visual movement display system comprising: i) a first annular member rotatably coupled to a support element at a first connection point which defines a first rotation axis about which said first annular member rotates; ii) a second annular member disposed within said first annular member, said second annular member rotatably coupled to said first annular member at a second connection point which defines a second rotation axis about which said second annular member rotates; iii) a third annular member disposed within said second annular member, said third annular member rotatably coupled to said second annular member at a third connection point which defines a third rotation axis about which said third annular member rotates; wherein each of said first, second, and third annular members is formed from a tube; wherein each of said first, second, and third axes is offset from an adjacent axis by an angle in a range of between about 30 degrees to about 60 degrees; iv) an innermost element disposed within said third annular member, said innermost element coupled to said third annular member at a fourth connection point; v) a first weight element disposed within said tube forming said second annular member at said third connection point; vi) a second weight element disposed within said tube forming said third annular member at said fourth connection point; wherein said first and second weight elements are graduated such that an outer-more weight element has a greater amount of weight than an inner-more weight element; and vii) a driver operably coupled to said first annular member to drive rotation of said first annular member about said first rotation axis; wherein, as a result of said angles and graduation of said first and second weight elements, rotation of said first annular member about said first rotation axis generates rotation of said second and third annular members.
