Fractals are geometric shapes that are based on math equations that repeat endlessly. Unlike the hated quadratic and parabolic and such, these kinds of equations have no real solution, and when a computer uses the equation to create an image, it makes one that is actually made up of smaller and smaller versions of itself.
This page has a bunch of three-dimensional fractal images with a mechanical motif. Don't stare too long at some of them or you might not come back ;-)
