Gear: The Periodic... Spiral?

What an interesting idea. As many people remember from high school and college chemistry, the periodic table is useful. But in many ways it is only sort of useful. Hydrogen is only sort of like the other elements in its column. You have that staircase where properties start shifting as the atoms get bigger. The lanthanides and actinides don't really fit where they belong in the middle of the table. The periodic spiral tries to remedy all that. Whether it actually does it is for you to decide.
