There is something missing, here. The machine should be designed to produce a barely perceptible sound that is fairly unique. That way, the only people who will hear it are those who aren't spouting bull, and that means the rest of any grouping. When that person who is spouting is silent and someone else is doing the spouting, he/she will realize what people are hearing in the background when he/she is full of it. If it is a consistent group, I'm betting that the amount of bull being slung reduces fairly quickly.
My dad calls these "bullshit grinders" and he takes one out and silently plays with it whenever he hears someone on a long rant or telling an obvious lie
@@kapilverma6497 You are correct. It's an up and down motion from the center to the outside of the engine. There's no crossing of any part like this in the center at all.
One really cool aspect of this is that each of the sliding pieces represents a function in relation to the circular movement of the handle. In that, the vertical piece traces a sine wave over time, and the horizontal piece traces a cosine wave over time! Pretty cool

Fun fact: this machine was actually used in a steam machine to convert from linear motion to rotary motion. (It was designed by James Booth for anyone wandering)
I think “Pitman Arms” in cars possibly use a similar style of mechanism to transfer torque from steering to the wheels. Not sure if newer cars have them but older cars needed them.
Was just going to comment that, Booth's rectilinear engine of 1843, the idea was you make the engine more compact by eliminating the connecting rod. It works but was rather complex and expensive, I don't think it ever went beyond maybe a prototype. Though there are plenty of functional models around now, as the plans and castings are offered by a British firm called Polly Model Engineering.

Why do people say it does nothing? It would be cool to build a maze with this. A few of these and you would have a maze where the path changes. Also might have a good use as a air lock. You just need to extend it in one direction.
It might be cool, but probably not the best solution, which is why you don't really see it used anywhere. If it really had any benefit, it would have been being used already.
It looks like those crazy airplan engines where the crank is connected to like 8 pistons in an octagon. Im ignorant in plane engines but i saw a cutaway of one of those it looks highly similar
When I was a kid my doctor used to have one of these made out of wood on his desk I used to play with. I was fascinated by it. That was nearly 40 years ago.
My grandfather carved one of these out of one piece of wood (among his many wood carvings), my mom had it for a while, now I have it in a box somewhere. It's probably at least 80 years old. It was one of my favorite things as a kid. He died when I was 9, so it was a piece of him I held on to.
Fun fact: a plane engine (not a turbine, an engine) uses the reverse of this, it puts a cylinder instead of each peg and the cylinders are used to spin the shaft in the middle, which then turns a propeller. Engineering is quite interesting.
Not true, note the shaft in this example doesn’t stay fixed in one place, the origin of the smaller circle (the shaft) orbits the larger circle. Planes use traditional combustion engines which cylinders laid out in a circular pattern (or V pattern) about a common rotating mass (the crankshaft).
“The do nothing” created by a Greek in an era where people didn’t have toilet paper. I love how we diminish what ancients had as primitive yet every single thing we have is built off that. 👏
i dont think the this can generate energy (hence the name) because the blocks arent colliding and the friction created just isnt enough to generate energy , the displacement of the blocks is zero so work done is also zero according to me but i am not sure
Potentially used to more evenly distribute mechanical energy from a single input motion. Could potentially be used for energy certainly, although I can't think of any practical usage at this moment that the loss of efficiency would be tolerable.

It is called Double Slider Crank chain mechanism (also called as an elliptical trammel) which is an inversion of 4 bar chain. And it does DO something. It may be used in locomotives, and the other mechanism you showed is mainly used in v6 engines. I studied all that in my Automobile engineering
The do nothing machine practically shows the basic implications of how some gear mechanisms and rotar engines all work and function. So in actuallity it can be used as a simple way of learning.
@@noahm7748 yeah used to play it a ton. 700 plus hours on both accounts and managed to lose 1 account sadly. Now i barely play it. Waiting for big games and unturned 2 to kick off to where ill finally come back. Theres no reason to atm for me.
This is actually the basis of a scotch yoke compressor. The "pegs" are cylindrical pistons with the valve mechanism at the end of each channel (which are the cylinders). It is driven by a motor and can be used to compress air or refrigerant.
I was actually wondering if this same “machine” actually had practical mechanic principles that we used. The closest I kept coming to were radial engines like those found on the B17 or DC3

It is called Double Slider Crank chain mechanism (also called as an elliptical trammel) which is an inversion of 4 bar chain. And it does DO something. It may be used in locomotives, and the other mechanism you showed is mainly used in v6 engines. I studied all that in my Automobile engineering
I was thinking this looked familiar.. imagine a piston-driven modified rotary engine. 😮
also it reminds me of a radial engine used in aircraft
(shhh they accept whatever we tell them)
Does this device have a turbo encabulator with no side fumbling?
If not, no deal!
@P.W.R. unfortunately, no. It's a retro encabulator with a baseplate of pre-fabulated amulite, and surrounded by a logarithmic casing. 🫤
The Government Model
I’ve heard it called a hillbilly entertainment center lol
I invented a machine that produces infinite energy through vocal tones.
It’s called my 11 year old.
It took me a second time to get the joke. It is funny.
Haha!! 😄 I have 3 of those except they're 6, 10 and 13!!
The 10 yo one is the loudest though.
🔊😭
The do nothing machine practically shows the basic implications of how some gear mechanisms and rotar engines all work and function.
So in actuallity it can be used as a simple way of learning.
64 likes which has a square of 8 imma ruin it oh and unturned profile picture
Yoo unturned pfp
@@noahm7748 yeah used to play it a ton. 700 plus hours on both accounts and managed to lose 1 account sadly. Now i barely play it. Waiting for big games and unturned 2 to kick off to where ill finally come back. Theres no reason to atm for me.
@@unboxing_legend7708 makes sense honestly
Is that a dream profile picture?
Bro said circle so many time and it still made sense…
You say “do nothing machine”. I say “greatest fidget device the world has ever made”.
This is actually the basis of a scotch yoke compressor. The "pegs" are cylindrical pistons with the valve mechanism at the end of each channel (which are the cylinders). It is driven by a motor and can be used to compress air or refrigerant.
I was actually wondering if this same “machine” actually had practical mechanic principles that we used. The closest I kept coming to were radial engines like those found on the B17 or DC3
Everything is useless when don't have a purpose 🤔
At that point couldn’t you just leave pedals on it and have a human powered compressor lol
@@KuraiJS We aren’t useless. ❤
my adhd brain needs this
Yep, same here 👍
same
Already got one and it’s made of wood
Same but I don't know if I have adhd
Wow you’re so quirky
I bet it could be an interesting transportation device if made large scale, and the boxes were made hollow
Rotary combustion engine: "am I a joke to you?"
I need this right now.
Lol
Real shit
you can make one in lego
Same
Also 200th like
Thanks man@@HeyatleastImnotdrinkingBrian
