Making the Longest 1:1 Lego Gear Train

Wanted to make a long gear train where all the gears visibly rotate. Using only Lego parts. Restriction: the first gear and the last gear must rotate at the same speed (gear ratio = 1:1). Enjoy!

Music:
Alpha Polaris by Anders Enger Jensen

[Fabian]

Motor: *cries for help
This guy:"lmao here's another row"

[DoctorPepper]

Motor: is literally dying

This dude: "Another one."

[WrenchesandRemotes]

This guy is literally is trying to find the limits of legos in every way possible

[kanamis]

I cant stop laughing when he solves a solution to the gears stopping/bouncing out. its the equivalent of bashing your head against the wall until it works i love it

[acirillo]

If you listen closely, you can hear the motor cry out,

[chriseyrewalker]

There’s something comical about this I enjoy way more than I should.

[darkhoodchief]

I like how everytime a gear attemps to stop the addition of more gears he's like "Nope, take this and move"

[whatthewhatthe]

My favorite thing about gear trains is that no matter how many idlers you have, the ratio should stay constant

[TheJumiFilm]

the sound of adding the gears is so satisfying

[JoelCreates]

Making the world's most inefficient friction heater

[bobington]

Okay now he’s just flexing the amount of gears he has.

[mystery]

i just find it so funny how every time it fails youre like "well i guess i better turn up the power then"

[monke]

Motor: *literally sounding like a deceased heart beat*
This guy: I'll ignore that

[TheVoidMachineSystem]

Motor: *Struggling to survive by 63 gears*
BEC: "Aye, it'll be fine."

[gofig]

*rotor basically flatlining*
This guy: it can still do more

[ehill]

Lego store clerk: "And how many gears did you say?"

This guy: "All of them."

[travishein]

I like how you do the iterations. When something breaks, improving that part and then trying again. To me the evolution of the design is super entertaining to watch.

[cubeit]

Guiness World Records: Here here just take it please JUST STOP TORTURING THE MOTOR

[YukariAkiyama]

“I do not know why I’m here.”

“All I know is I must spin the gears”

[Virtuoso]

When the gear number increases, it's incredible how the torque rebound due to inertia impacts the system.
