Is it possible to spin the last gear? (1:65000 gear ratio)

Do you think it's possible?

Episode 5 - Is it possible to spin the last gear? Why?

Learn how to design your own things for 3D Printing using Blender:

Follow along as we 3d print different gearboxes, try different gear ratios, explain the science behind these mechanisms.

bro I just want one video where they go ham on the big gear and make the little gear go supersonic

“I’ll use mass because it’s easier to visualize.”

Proceeds to use ounces, which is the hardest unit to relate to for the rest of the world

[marten]

OK, but now I want to see you *attach a drill.*

[LilCheesyBean]

It would be amazing if you could just push the last gear as hard as you could and the first one flew off and sliced through the wall while the one you were pushing literally hasn’t moved

[marriott]

torque seems like an added feature to stop easy energy exploits. smart of the devs to implement it!

[josephamundson]

I know he just said I can't do it, but something in my brain is still saying it should be easy

[chrispham]

It's funny how this guy is trying to explain to us the physics of gears, and we're all just like "Ha ha! Gears go brrrr!"

[hedonisticzen]

It's also worth mentioning that if you could spin that final gear one rotation in a minute that your starting gear would be spinning 10-20 times faster that a power tool such as a drill.

A version of this would be an excellent children’s toy! They’d love trying to spin the gears, watching the them spin, and trying to figure out how it works. There could be a marker on the final gear, so that you could see it move minutely by spinning the other gears.

[StardustLegacyFighter]

One of these days he's going to have a crazy gear ratio, that will literally create a black hole, when he spins the first gear.

[BrianHAviation]

I'm an engineer and I love experiments like these. I need to print those gears off and make my own. Great work! Thanks!

[definitelynotafederalagent]

I’m just saying, we get some titanium, we put a lever on the last gear and put it under a hydraulic press.

[restorasenrisei]

Gotta love how he filmed it without having removed it from the build plate

[SamsDesigns]

The fact that you ran this whole demonstration with the housing still fused to the build plate is brilliant.

Good job my friend

[spiderdorc]

Me: I should be asleep right more
*Video pops up on my recommendation at 2 a.m.
Me: I must know this information

[yankyeefan]

Had absolutely zero idea gears worked like this and honestly my life is changed

[drifter]

There is no way the algorithm isn't picking this up.

[fr]

I can’t be the only one watching like “bet I can spin that” 😂

[fracturedframe]

I just like seeing Gear contraptions like these, turn
It's oddly satisfying and calming

[jjcurry]

A way I like to think about it after designing a few gear trains is as, as speed increases torque decreases. The power of a gear train is constant. For those who don’t know a gear trains purpose is to modify speed, or force but inevitably is going to do both.
