GEARS - the Basics

Thanks for SHARING with your Fzx Teacher!

An introduction to gears from the simple machines perspective. Which are force multipliers? Which are speed multipliers? How do we calculate mechanical advantage?

“You just learned physics”, brilliant. I love how simply you broke everything down. They say it takes a genius to explain something complicated in a simple way, so I’m nominating you for genius of the year my friend! 💡

This was an _excellent_ beginner introduction. I say that as an absolute beginner. Thank you so much. Fun, simple and perfectly clear. Thank you again.

6:01 Wow thats amazing. I moved around a lot as a kid so i never got a proper standardized education. Its amazing to see the math used and how simple it is and it gives the imagination something awesome to play with.

I appreciate this video very much.

This was fantastic, but what I really need most is a practical guide to incorporating geears into designs for makers. Common ways to arrange drive shafts and how to pick the best gears to simplify designs and minimize friction. How to decide how many teeth you should have etc. There is so much to know and I don't know where to look!

I've been searching for videos to understand about gears and all I saw was scientific stupidity. ....lol until I saw this one, thanks very much you're a real teacher

[leels]

Thank you! I'm 30 years old and finally getting this idea into my head <3

Gears, ramps and pulleys have one thing in common - they trade distance for power. That's the essence of what I've learned. Gears of course have other uses such as timekeeping, synchronization of machine parts, measurements etc.

One of the best refresher I needed today. Having done recoveries during my service, I used to be sharp and quick when it came to calculations of gears or snatch blocks. Not so much anymore. Age is catching up.

I wish I had you as a professor when I took physics; you made it incredibly easy. I took it over 30 years ago but you have one more sub. Please do Lagrangian and Hamiltonian physics to boot please.

About the 10th time I've watched this video 👍 Got the most out if it so far... 95% there

DAMN GOOD 👍

In 6:1 gear ratio, divide 72 by 12, and it equals 6, so you would know that the small gear is 6x faster than the large gear, this is useful if you are going to make something like a pedal spin dryer, which doesn't consume electricity, so you can increase the speed more and more.

Studying for the Navy OAR and I think this will be my ticket for a better score lmao

[crashwebb]

I can finally understand transmissions now. That was always the hardest part to learn about in auto class

[threehammers]

Straight to the point, easy to understand, thanks!

[LordFanta]

As a 12 year old this video is very helpful I’m playing a game called scrap mechanic and making a piston engine and wanted to learn about gears to help thanks

[peloi]

Who else is watching for their OAR? Thank you teacher!

I want to make compound gears ( 2 stages),
3:1 (45:15)

4:1 (60:15)
I want to know how much dieter for each gear?

[Poketrainer]

hello, my question is if I have a target torque X N.m, and Y rpm for my driven gear, how do I pick motor for the driver so that input is enough ? Do i start by using whatever gear ratio to find appropriate torque input?

[BrisbaneStomp]

Please where can I get these wooden gears!!!!

[jamesmatheson]

I hope we can discuss springs cause when there is a 10:1 on a spring
If the sprimg moves once and the next gear moves 10 times the gear moving 10 times definitely is not 10x weaker
