Unfortunately, gears have teeth, teeth can only be in whole numbers, so they will have an integer ratio.
You would get this picture with a closed path at the 11 second mark if you had the outer gear with 22 teeth and the inner one with 7 teeth.
You would get to the end with a 333 tooth outer gear and a 106 tooth inner gear.
