Oh no. I suddenly understand how something works

[oldhorn]

My man's motor sounded like a motorcycle

[evanbarnes]

Ah yes, the "how to get around a patent" linkage

[Ender_Mn_]

*slam credit card on table* GET ME THAT MECHANISM

[RaceCarGuy]

The gear moving around the other gear reminds me of the grub hub ad

[matthew.wilson]

Would've been good to demonstrate why this is different to connecting the motor directly to the crank.

[durandal]

i was opening the comments making sure i'm not the only one with the dirty mind

[ProtoAzula]

Fun fact: this mechanism was used in certain steam engines to bypass the patent of the crankshaft

[booperdooper]

Reminds me of sun and moon gears for engines. It was used because the crankshaft was patented.

[Elytra_Nishimura]

I went to the comments and looked to see if anyone thought this looks like something you'd see in a car engine.

Instead...

Swaping the gears will make the movement faster

S3x toy makers: WRITE THAT DOWN *WRITE THAT DOWN* !!!

[CyberKnightMiky]

Let's be honest: Who saw this and knew what was going to do?

Because I already knew

[Salve.Servum_Dea]

It’s technically a cam and follower mechanism, but it’s still cool.

[Dirt]

"Omg its a dil-"
-That one girl in the ads on those "sites"

[Hellsong]

Ah, so by adjusting ratio you can run constant rpm motor, to adjust rpm, witch adjust the strikes per minutes...Add two differentials witch one out put you can slow down and you can make it mechanically adjustable rpm, though this would be very difficult method, nor practical for many applications.

[UnKnown-hfmi]

I love that this comment section thinks so much like me. It brings tears to my eyes🥹🤣

[shomu_og]

he made the minecraft f*cking machine with lego

[sludgelover]
