The "coin paradox" video that Veritasium released not too long ago helped me understand why your geared piston has a 1:4 (3+1) reduction. Or maybe it's the other way around. The way you presented it, it hardly feels paradoxical at all.

Also, the scotch yoke reminded me that I tried scotch eggs for the first time last month. They weren't very tasty, but at least they had scotch yolks.

you're seriously my hero. i've learned more about mechanics from watching maybe three of your videos than I did from four years of school lmao

The number 2 is just so mesmerising to watch, I love it 👍

Great video as always :) must say i didn't like the music though, prefer just lego noises

3:23 Well my Girlfriend likes this very stupid simple movements quite a lot and its productive on top! 🤷‍♀️

@JKBrickworks 2:06 I told you scotch yolks make perfect sine waves!

Holy shit! #6 Finally figured out a way to not get kicked for being AFK on cod lol.

[ghostdog]

number 6 is how many hydraulic and pneumatic mechanisms achieve oscillation, but with reversing triggers at either end of travel instead of one in the middle

[drmatarkin]

Number 6 is used for many things like gates and door opening.

Where do you get all the ideas from! Great! 😊 👍

I wanted to make a robot like a rock-em-sock-em, but found out I had slightly different Lego pieces than what I needed. I was so shattered.

I’m gonna make a full lego spring lock suit now thx

[Cen_t]

Yeah, I don't like the music either. Better just keep keep noises as different people have different choices at different time of day.

The first one looks like a steam train mechanism

[sjcdrmm]

The 3rd one can be used as a goalie for a football pitch

[brickfan_]

Do you have some examples for praktikal use?

[CivcivX_Official]

My LEGO parts can do the first gear : )
