The planetary Fork

Akiyuky keep applying different mechanisms to gbc modules, this time a module featuring planetary gear named "fork" with excellent gearing system, counterweight spinning at double speed and a beauty zig-zag ramp that drive the balls to the exit.

The style of Akiyuky now is consolidated and instantly recognisable by their politeness in mechanisms, colour schemes and awesomenes.

Zblj present this funny creation can you figure how it works?? ;-)
