The way the gears are arranged will result in a grid lock - you won’t be able to turn any of them.
Rotating one clock-wise (CW) will rotate another counter-clock-wise (CCW), and the 3rd gear will spin CW. Because the first and 3rd gear are close enough to be in contact, and they’re both rotating CW, they are opposing each other resulting in them being locked
Yup on a 2 dimensional surface or if all three share a plane it’ll never work. Only way would be if one was extruded and the other two weren’t touching.
For those that don't get it

Ie. none of this will work

Where do I read more a out the theory behind this?
