Ganson graduated from the University of New Hampshire . He is u. a. internationally known through his work Machine with Concrete , an infinity machine . This object slows down the speed of rotation of a motor via twelve gear wheels so much that the last gear wheel takes more than two billion years to complete one revolution and can therefore be cast in concrete.
