Thanks Baluncore Indeed, to get the 8 shaped move I'll need the 1:2 ratio. And that solution of one motor two gears with proper ratio and a stepped belt would achieve simplicity, mechanical solution and precision all together. I think I'll evolve onto this path. Let me see what comes out from...

Thanks Berkeman I'd think though handing off an object between 2 moving gears is a rather ingenious solution but full of complexity in avoiding getting it stuck. I'm so curious about what you envisioned there. Getting back to your question I'd define my project as personal art. It gets close to...

Great hint and suggestion with the Lissajous figures and the formula which stands behind. Very thankful. Through some more investigation defines that I hardly could achieve it with a single motor but I needed two to generate the two indipendent movement to then combine. I really needed to...

For a project I'm starting now, I'd need to convert a circular motion generated from an electric motor into a loop shaped as an ∞ , through any combination of gears, leverages or mechanical intermediation . So that at a certain level of the system, one fix point attached onto any of those gears...
