For the people saying I should start from the beginning to get momentum. You get 3 gears down, then friction takes over and your unable to turn the 4th. Turning the 3h gear makes the 1st gear spin 100x faster. the 4th gear is 10 times that at 1000x. see the problem now? ;)
so out of sheer curiosity, what if you tried to use a really large breaker bar, or some other external force to turn (maybe not the end gear) but some other gear farther down than the 3rd
@@CinderTheSkulldog the reason it's impossible is because you logically cannot generate enough force to spin the gear. it's not a factor of how much effort we can apply here, it's a matter of how physics work. in this case though, the amount of energy you put in would need to go somewhere, and since the gears can only handle so much being plastic, they'd just break
I know logically that it requires massive amounts of torque but my brain won’t allow that and just wonders how weak he is not being able to move a couple gears
Not just massive. In theory, it would require more energy than there is in the known universe to rotate it. and this doesn't even account for friction. But yeah, I still kinda think the same.
Then most energy required would be frony start. If he was to sequentially turn the gears from the lowest to the highest ratio ( simular to a mountain bike ) he may not be able to turn the final heat but he would make it a lot further down the line.
I actually thought that the rotation would've been inverted. The last gear would've made the first gear rotate in 1 googol years kinda thing, you know?
@Dick Man maan no we wouldn't, let's say you manage to turn a full rotation the first gear in one second: that means the last gear will in one second rotate a googol times, reaching a googol angular velocity. Energy of a rotating body is proportional to its rotational inertia and to the square of its angular velocity. That last gear would such an insane amount of energy, not even the entire universe has that. So no its not possible. At the very best in complete absence of friction you would manage to rotate the last gear an insanely infinitesimal amount in a short period of time, or an infinitesimal amount with many years
I don't think people understand just how ridiculously large googol is. If you turn the last gear just by one planck length, the edge of the first gear would move more than the length of the entire observable universe (assuming the gear is rigid and no energy loss)
The closer you apply the force of your hand to the hinges, the higher the force needed to create a moment that is capable of rotating the door. So as the distance approaches 0, the force required approaches infinity and vice versa

Bruh he can. He survived black hole gravity like nothing. Destroyed a couple of stars Just by punching impact. Just add a mechanism that converts the punch power to torque. And boom.
OK, you've tried spinning the 1st gear (obviously) and the 100th. Now try it sequentially from the 2nd. See how fast the previous gears spin, and see when it becomes impossible to spin a given gear.
It wouldn’t be too hard to run numbers on how much the torque increases with each gear, if you had the torque numbers for gear one. At a 10:1 ratio I’d wager it would become physically impossible to manually turn one pretty quickly. Then at some point it would be mechanically impossible, i.e. the amount of torque needed to turn it would break the gear.
If you want to see something going faster than light speed, turn on your oscilloscope set horz scan to max + 10x, beam dot is traveling across screen faster light speed. Yes this is true if you have a 100mHx Tektronix CRT o'scope.
@@NeutroniummAlchemist Real CRT o'scopes are still available. GW INSEK makes good CRT scopes and other electronic equipment. I get your point that digital measuring has replaced analog. But I'm old school and want to see the real signal not same computation of the signal.
It would require one googol times the force it takes to turn the first one, so we probably won’t be able to do it in the physical world, but a simulation of this machine would be dope as hell
@@davidbosilj no you're not supposed to stop with the clutch all the way in and still in second gear. First of all, if you stop and try to start again in second gear you'll have to rev it a lot higher than you would in first to get moving, which isn't good for the friction material in the clutch, but i can understand why you would because first is annoyingly slow. Not really a big deal. However there is literally no good reason to come to a complete, prolonged stop with the clutch in. Sitting in traffic or at a red light with the clutch in the whole time will put extreme excessive wear on your throw-out bearing, the springs that disconnect the clutch, and the hydraulic system that assists you when you put the clutch in.
@@snk_ow4354 I'm guessing you are from the USA, or some other place where manual transmission cars are rare, and are self-taught driving a manual. Lets say for example you are driving in fourth gear and you see a red light in front of you. You don't just put your car in neutral and let it slide forward, while slowly braking. You have to downshift to 3rd, let the engine braking do its thing and then down to second. When in second gear you brake until you get down to about 1200 rpm, then push in the clutch and come to a complete stop. When you are stopped you can shift it into neautral or first depending on the situation. (You are never supposed to start in second gear under normal conditions, maybe only if the road is very icy) Driving your car in neutral is dangerous, because if for example someone rear ends you, your legs will fly backwards, letting go of the pedals. Then you have absolutely 0 engine braking, and your foot is off the brake. Also your car is much easier to maneuver when you are in gear and have engine braking than being in neutral.
@@davidbosilj so all of that unnecessary downshifting and sitting on the clutch while stopped is solely for the tiny chance that you might get rear ended? down shifting through every single gear is either a lot of effort from rev matching or a lot of pointless wear on your synchros. Also what does maneuverability have to do with anything? we're talking about being completely stopped. I can understand downshifting to slow down if someone in front of you is turning or something along those lines, but i see no good reason to row through every gear to come to a complete stop. Brake pads are a lot cheaper to replace than transmission parts.
Theoretically, if you can make it move just the size of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of an atom, the surface last gear will travel a distance of billions of billions of billions of hundreds of millions the size of the universe. Gogol power
@cooper Harper a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of an atom is ~1e-36 m (Based on helium which is about 10e-10). Now use the gearing to multiply that by a googol (1e100) and you get 1e65 m The known universe is a mere 8.8e26 m across. Billions of billions of billion of hundreds of millions the size of the universe is 1e9 * 1e9 * 1e9 * 100 * 1e6 * 8.8e26, which comes out to 8.8e61 m, which is still less than the distance that last gear would travel. My question is, how are you doubting/questioning RAXO's math? I think you don't understand how mind bogglingly big a googol is :)
@@Tomsta17 To be honest it is hard to understand, but RAXO did at least try to figure out a way to put "size we understand" at the center. Given that a wheel has a diameter of about 450 mm, so one full revolution is 0.5 meter (give or take), or 10^-27 the size of the universe, the same rotation would make a wheel somewhere between 25 and 30 rotate one full rotation. If I got the math right, which is not entirely given.
He moved it and it went at lightspeed, it's just that our entire universe went backwards in time to the point where he tries to move it so it looks like nothing happens.

Remember: reduction gears convert high speed/low torque to low speed/high torque. The amount of torque required to rotate the output gear such that the input gear would rotate even once would be astronomical
I believe the gears would break if trying to go the other way before it started to turn at any noticeable rate. The energy required to turn that last gear is astronomical. There's a video out there explaining the physics behind this but I can't remember it's name. If I remember right it was on a larger scale than that.
@@Carsergeant no. The entire weight of the whole universe is still not enough to do this, the weight of 2 universes, the weight of 3, 4, 10, 1 million, 1 trillion, 1 nonillion, nope. Still not even close.
@@Carsergeant The actual math is one gear at 50:1 means you will multiply your speed by 1/50 and your torque by 50. Two of them is 50*50:1. Three is 50*50*50:1. N is 50^n:1. If they are 50:1 as an example, and there are 100 in a row, that's 50^100:1. Or 7.888609e+169 times the force is required, but it also speeds it up by that much. You might think, hey, even if you put a tiny bit of motion on the first gear, wouldn't it eventually make the end spin? But because of the forces multiplied out, there is no way to reduce static friction below the amount that would halt all motion in the chain.
This is the BEST demonstration of power vs torque I have ever seen. If power and torque were interchangeable, you could turn it from either side with the same force and achieve the same movement at the beginning gear. Instead, trying to turn it from the high geared end results in no movement at all, because there is insufficient torque to even get it moving.
@@Rextraordinaire it would actually require the exact same amount of energy as when he turned the other side. You would just be flipping the output and inputs
I do not know the diameter of the gears, but judging by the size of the hand, I assume it 150 mm .If the surface of the first gear turns at the speed of light 299,792,458,000 mm/s, then it will make one revolution in 1.57188 e-9 seconds. Under these conditions, the 10th gear will make a revolution in 1.57 seconds, 20th in 498 years. Я не знаю диаметр шестерен, но, судя по размеру руки, думаю 150 мм. Если поверхность первой шестерни будет крутиться со скоростью света 299 792 458 000 мм/сек, то один оборот она будет совершать за 1,57188e-9 сек . При этих условиях 10-я шестерня будет совершать оборот за 1,57 сек. 20-я за 498 лет.
Если зделать две шестерни в соотношении 1 к 10 например 6 и 60 зубев и закрепить неподвижно одну над второй. Можна собрать редуктор где уже на 10 паре у нас уже будет 1 000 000 оборотов. С одной сторони можно прикрипить вес с другой електрогенератор. Если якорь електрогенератора будет вращаться со скоростю 1 000 000 оборотов, даже если в минуту ето нам будет давать ток. С помощу трансформатора можно будет увеличить напряжение. Таким образом можно создать гравитационий електро генератор. А груз обратно можно и с помощу системи блоков поднимать.
I think hes right, you could've been a bit more subtle about it and it wouldve been beter. Like "check the frame rate of your camera, itll make the spinning more clear" or "the frame rate is equivalent to the spinning mechanism so it doesn't appear to be spinning". Idk but the joke is good in concept just bad delivery.
way, way more than that. a googol is so large you can't even begin to comprehend how large that number is. The number of atoms that make up the ENTIRE SUN is about 10^57. A googol is 10^100. About 1.3 MILLION Earths can fit in the sun.
And that'd do.... nothing, in fact it would lose energy, all those gears would waste so much. And generators add even more resistance, so if you are able to turn it somehow, then add a generator, it's going to be even harder now.
@@silience4095 He say it because even just a fraction of a spin on the last gear will cause enough spins on the first one to, adding a generator, give more energy than the actual amount that universe have. Of course its just an imaginary situation, there is not a way to spin that gear (unless you break the entire sytem XD)
@@BLior96 Well no it wouldn't give more energy... it'd lose all of it. It would take more energy than the universe has to even output a single bit of energy on the other side.
let us pretend for a moment that it was possible to turn that last gear with your hand, and turn it exactly once, in one second. At a 1:10 ratio the second to last gear spun 10 times in that second. The third to last spun 100 times in that second. the fourth 1,000 rotations, the fifth 10,000, and the 6th 100,000. the 9th gear would spin 100,000,000 times in a second. The 10th gear breaks light speed for certain, at 1,000,000,000 rotations per second, ~3.34 times the speed of light or ~3.34c. The 100th gear, would rotate 1 googol times a second. ~3.34e+120 times the speed of light...
In theory you'd need more energy than the observable universe justt o turn it once. So if we can turn the last gear once in one second does that means there will be a big bang or something closer to that on the first gear?
technically it wouldn't, because relativity would come into effect. The last gear would still be travelling at less than the speed of light (albeit very close to the speed of light)
wouldn't it be a great idea to produce these things as decoration to sell or something. of course first you need to make it perfect but this is something i really want to have in my room running forever. (unless it makes too much noise causing no sleep :p)
The torque required would destroy the mechanism. One of those things that only works the one way. Even the time it would take to spin the last gear is completely theoretical.
Simplest explanation that I can give, speaking as a professional automotive service technician: If you had a gear ratio of 2:1 and you input 100 Lb/Ft of torque at 50 RPM, you would get out 200 Lb/Ft at 25 RPM. The 2:1 ratio is providing torque multiplication at the detriment of RPM. The concept in this video is the exact inverse. A 1:2 gear ratio with an input of 100 Ft/Lb at 200 RPM would have an output of 50 Ft/Lb at 400 RPM. -This is called overdrive. You're gaining RPM to the detriment of torque which is how your car gets better fuel mileage. Your engine might be spinning 3500 RPM but, your transmission has a 0.68:1 final drive ratio making the output shaft spin at 2380 RPM. And then your rear axle ring and pinion will have a ratio of (commonly) 3.42:1 yielding 695.9 RPM. And then you have tire size actually provides another gear ratio. If your tire had a circumference of 60 inches, forward motion would be 60 inches per revolution. If your tire circumference were 100 inches, your vehicle would move 100 inches per revolution. [At this point, I'll mention that I'm using Chevrolet pickup truck numbers because I remember them without Google so, we're going to use a Chevrolet truck tire] Our tire is 31 inches tall. Circumference would be 97.39 inches Soooooo, we had 695.9 RPM at the axle. The tire travels 97.39 inches per rotation. Multiplication comes out to 67,774.33 inches per minute. Divide by 12 inches in a foot is 5647.8 feet per minute. 60 minutes per hour comes to 338871.64 feet per hour. Divide by 5280 feet per mile and you land at 64.18MPH Let's shift gears, pun intended Maintain 64.18 MPH. Same tire size Same axle gear ratio Our transmission output shaft has to spin at that same 2380 RPM to keep the same road speed *But now our transmission has a high gear of right about 1.1:1* To achieve the required 2380 RPM out of the transmission through that 1.1:1 gear, the engine now has to spin at 3850 RPM which burns more fuel. Hope I've managed to help somebody even though it's late as hell and I might have done my arithmetic ass backerdz. I can help anybody needing clarification though
The explanation: If it takes an electric motor spinning very quickly for a very long time to get the last gear to move a tiny amount, imagine the equivalent energy your hand would have to exert to freely rotate it
Published March 23, 2020. I mean look where we are from March 2020 to now, clearly we're just living in a shadow universe triggered by this man's gear ratio.
Hey Daniel, I'm working in the gear unit business (FLENDER) so I found your work absolutely fascinating! You made a perfect mix of art, science and almost philosophy ^^ To this question about running this gear by the output. Of course it is impossible... Let imagine the torque to rotate the first wheel (due to simple friction) is 0.01 Newton meter. (which is very low). you would need 10^98 newton meters on the output wheel... I guess this is bigger than the universe mass (on 1 meter) maybe... And this is not even taking into consideration all other wheel. This is the beauty of the system. As it is, the last wheel will NEVER move.
I of course knew but so many people don't understand the physics behind gear ratios. I making a much better one. There I'll show how many gears I can actually rotate by hand. Probably only the 4th
@@danielbruin If it didn't turn, your system is just broken. It will turn as easily as the other side. You're just flipping the input and output compared to the other direction.
It's actually blowing my mind that someone who says they work in a gear business doesn't understand that the gear would EASILY turn. It just becomes the new input. Look at the symmetry in the system. A gear reduction system like this is *always a gear reduction in both directions. You're just flipping inputs and outputs*
So some random alien did this, created our universe and now I have to work to keep myself alive (which I very much question is worth it). Understandable, have a great day
I watched this post and felt motivated my friends saw this post and felt motivated my neighbours saw this and were motivated we rent a projector in a big field and my village people saw this and felt motivated Thank you so much for this post .may god bless you.
I discovered this when I was about 10. I thought I was a genius, that invented a way to sacrifice speed for power and vice versa. One thing I noticed from my experimentation, is that if you have a high gear ratio, the mechanism just won’t work.
Even with a crank with the length of the diameter of the universe and the mass of the universe at the end of the crank, you wouldn`t be able to rotate the first gear. Mass: 10^53 kg Diameter: 45*10^9 lightyears = 4*10^26 m @ 1g: 4*10^80 Nm of torque that´s 2,5*10^-19 Nm of torque on the first gear, or 250 zNm (zeptoNewtonmeter)
Hahahaha it would actually turn really easily - you're just reversing the input and output. I guess they didn't teach you to think conceptually in math class.
If you could convert stupidity into energy, about three to four of those "now turn it the other way" people would be enough to actually turn it the other way.
Its an interesting display of physics. You would think, that if you started at the other end it would simply rotate normal and the original front end would become slowed down. But the gears are arranged in such a unique way that this is impossible.
this statement doesnt really make sense since energy requires a time aspect in this context (E=power *time). Thus you could say that the universe would run out of energy trying to turn the gear at a 'normal' speed for any 'normal' length of time.
@@taylorneill2687 A normal length of time is assumed in this case, and, since the universe would run out of energy TRYING to, that means the amount of energy is insufficient and therefore my statement makes perfect sense.
Make a device with two mechanisms. The first mechanism speeds up the first gear, whilst the second mechanism is above the second gear. Then, the first mechanism disconects, and the second above the second gear, speeds that one up (making the first gear go even faster). Then, the mechanism that was above the first gear flips over the second (or whatever it needs to do), and goes to the third gear. The mechanism then speeds the third gear up, making the second gear go faster, and the first EVEN faster. Repeat this process with all the gears, until the first gear either explodes, or travels faster than light. Congrats. You've built a time machine
I watch the first half and i was like "theres no way" the amount of torque needed to spin those gears in reverse is probably not possible without breaking it.
@@hedgehogthesonic3181 because its literally impossible to turn the last gear, the first one would be spinning at impossible speeds even after turning the last gear for a single millimeter.
I think you could go to thr turning limit, get the gears up to speed, use a huge flywheel, and use clutches to gently add gears to the mechanism until the limit is maxed again. I wish I had the resources to do those kinda things. It wld b fun
This reminds me so much of the reason you can't fold any thickness of sheet paper more than seven times... Because of the force required to be applied the connections in the actual material the system is made of is not structurally strong enough to withstand, also it is not physically possible to apply that quantity of force either.
Because of the natural torsion of the axis and the play between gear, the precision of the measurement of your machine is more or less 10^100*A, where A is the phase of the last gear. A is tiny and is fluctuating around zero (because of vibration from the environment), say for example A=0.00001°. So, paradoxicaly, while it is made to produce an extremely high precision, it is in fact extremely low accurate You need a very isolate lab and you will be able to "listen time in the vacuum"
The amount of torque required is more than what exists in the known universe. If you take all the energy from all the atoms at 100% efficiency, there still isn't enough energy to turn that gear.
To those who are wondering, basically the torque required to turn the other end would be so great that it's very likely no common tool would even be able to achieve the force required, let alone impart that force on the gearbox without it shattering. Thus as a human being you could try to turn it, but it is almost certainly futile.
Not almost certainly. Completely impossible. I can confidently say, that without breaking the gears apart, that last gear will never move ever. For the rest of eternity. (If the gears don't break)
@@phantomclarence2958 What if I blow your mind and say that it's actually a gear reduction in both directions? You're just flipping the input and output hahaha. How am I literally the only one in the comments that understands this?
Ok, now test it turning the first one, than give a little push on the second, and than the 3rd and 4th and 5th.... and go on When does it break? when are you unable to turn it? are you able to go to the last?
Well it's technically turning, just really really really slowly, and the first gear won't turn until all the slack from wiggle room and compression and stuff is used up.
I have to admit: that was incredibly impressive. The tolerances on those teeth is incredibly fine. I was expecting much more slop in between the gears, and for him to be able to rotate the first one back and forth a bit because of that. Also, even with sufficient torque, the gears would fly apart long before they got up to speed.
For the people saying I should start from the beginning to get momentum. You get 3 gears down, then friction takes over and your unable to turn the 4th. Turning the 3h gear makes the 1st gear spin 100x faster. the 4th gear is 10 times that at 1000x. see the problem now? ;)

OK, you've tried spinning the 1st gear (obviously) and the 100th. Now try it sequentially from the 2nd. See how fast the previous gears spin, and see when it becomes impossible to spin a given gear.
In the original video you can see movement in the 4th or 5h wheel, so I would say thereabouts.
It wouldn’t be too hard to run numbers on how much the torque increases with each gear, if you had the torque numbers for gear one. At a 10:1 ratio I’d wager it would become physically impossible to manually turn one pretty quickly. Then at some point it would be mechanically impossible, i.e. the amount of torque needed to turn it would break the gear.

And this is why the engines stalls if you forget to go back into first after stopping.
so you come to a stop without putting it in neutral and with your foot still on the clutch the whole time? say goodbye to your throw-out bearing lmao
@@snk_ow4354 You are supposed to stop in second gear, with your foot on the clutch
Who tf stops in neutral
@@davidbosilj no you're not supposed to stop with the clutch all the way in and still in second gear. First of all, if you stop and try to start again in second gear you'll have to rev it a lot higher than you would in first to get moving, which isn't good for the friction material in the clutch, but i can understand why you would because first is annoyingly slow. Not really a big deal. However there is literally no good reason to come to a complete, prolonged stop with the clutch in. Sitting in traffic or at a red light with the clutch in the whole time will put extreme excessive wear on your throw-out bearing, the springs that disconnect the clutch, and the hydraulic system that assists you when you put the clutch in.
@@snk_ow4354 I'm guessing you are from the USA, or some other place where manual transmission cars are rare, and are self-taught driving a manual.
Lets say for example you are driving in fourth gear and you see a red light in front of you.
You don't just put your car in neutral and let it slide forward, while slowly braking. You have to downshift to 3rd, let the engine braking do its thing and then down to second. When in second gear you brake until you get down to about 1200 rpm, then push in the clutch and come to a complete stop. When you are stopped you can shift it into neautral or first depending on the situation. (You are never supposed to start in second gear under normal conditions, maybe only if the road is very icy)
Driving your car in neutral is dangerous, because if for example someone rear ends you, your legs will fly backwards, letting go of the pedals. Then you have absolutely 0 engine braking, and your foot is off the brake.
Also your car is much easier to maneuver when you are in gear and have engine braking than being in neutral.
@@davidbosilj so all of that unnecessary downshifting and sitting on the clutch while stopped is solely for the tiny chance that you might get rear ended? down shifting through every single gear is either a lot of effort from rev matching or a lot of pointless wear on your synchros. Also what does maneuverability have to do with anything? we're talking about being completely stopped. I can understand downshifting to slow down if someone in front of you is turning or something along those lines, but i see no good reason to row through every gear to come to a complete stop. Brake pads are a lot cheaper to replace than transmission parts.
You probably need the weight of half the universe to spin it
Theoretically, if you can make it move just the size of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of an atom, the surface last gear will travel a distance of billions of billions of billions of hundreds of millions the size of the universe. Gogol power
@cooper Harper a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of an atom is ~1e-36 m (Based on helium which is about 10e-10).
Now use the gearing to multiply that by a googol (1e100) and you get 1e65 m
The known universe is a mere 8.8e26 m across. Billions of billions of billion of hundreds of millions the size of the universe is 1e9 * 1e9 * 1e9 * 100 * 1e6 * 8.8e26, which comes out to 8.8e61 m, which is still less than the distance that last gear would travel.
My question is, how are you doubting/questioning RAXO's math? I think you don't understand how mind bogglingly big a googol is :)
@@Tomsta17 To be honest it is hard to understand, but RAXO did at least try to figure out a way to put "size we understand" at the center.
Given that a wheel has a diameter of about 450 mm, so one full revolution is 0.5 meter (give or take), or 10^-27 the size of the universe, the same rotation would make a wheel somewhere between 25 and 30 rotate one full rotation. If I got the math right, which is not entirely given.

The actual math is one gear at 50:1 means you will multiply your speed by 1/50 and your torque by 50.
Two of them is 50*50:1. Three is 50*50*50:1. N is 50^n:1. If they are 50:1 as an example, and there are 100 in a row, that's 50^100:1. Or 7.888609e+169 times the force is required, but it also speeds it up by that much.
You might think, hey, even if you put a tiny bit of motion on the first gear, wouldn't it eventually make the end spin? But because of the forces multiplied out, there is no way to reduce static friction below the amount that would halt all motion in the chain.
This is the BEST demonstration of power vs torque I have ever seen.
If power and torque were interchangeable, you could turn it from either side with the same force and achieve the same movement at the beginning gear.
Instead, trying to turn it from the high geared end results in no movement at all, because there is insufficient torque to even get it moving.
Power or torque NO..., angular speed and torque are interchangeable
angular speed x torque = power

Well obviously IT does Work. The large gear tur!s the small gear faster, turning the next gear even faster.
let us pretend for a moment that it was possible to turn that last gear with your hand, and turn it exactly once, in one second. At a 1:10 ratio the second to last gear spun 10 times in that second. The third to last spun 100 times in that second. the fourth 1,000 rotations, the fifth 10,000, and the 6th 100,000. the 9th gear would spin 100,000,000 times in a second. The 10th gear breaks light speed for certain, at 1,000,000,000 rotations per second, ~3.34 times the speed of light or ~3.34c.
The 100th gear, would rotate 1 googol times a second. ~3.34e+120 times the speed of light...
In theory you'd need more energy than the observable universe justt o turn it once. So if we can turn the last gear once in one second does that means there will be a big bang or something closer to that on the first gear?
Dang
technically it wouldn't, because relativity would come into effect. The last gear would still be travelling at less than the speed of light (albeit very close to the speed of light)

Under rated comment
It’s crazy to think that it’s literally impossible to move.
Simplest explanation that I can give, speaking as a professional automotive service technician:
If you had a gear ratio of 2:1 and you input 100 Lb/Ft of torque at 50 RPM, you would get out 200 Lb/Ft at 25 RPM. The 2:1 ratio is providing torque multiplication at the detriment of RPM.
The concept in this video is the exact inverse.
A 1:2 gear ratio with an input of 100 Ft/Lb at 200 RPM would have an output of 50 Ft/Lb at 400 RPM.
-This is called overdrive. You're gaining RPM to the detriment of torque which is how your car gets better fuel mileage. Your engine might be spinning 3500 RPM but, your transmission has a 0.68:1 final drive ratio making the output shaft spin at 2380 RPM. And then your rear axle ring and pinion will have a ratio of (commonly) 3.42:1 yielding 695.9 RPM. And then you have tire size actually provides another gear ratio. If your tire had a circumference of 60 inches, forward motion would be 60 inches per revolution. If your tire circumference were 100 inches, your vehicle would move 100 inches per revolution.
[At this point, I'll mention that I'm using Chevrolet pickup truck numbers because I remember them without Google so, we're going to use a Chevrolet truck tire]
Our tire is 31 inches tall. Circumference would be 97.39 inches
Soooooo, we had 695.9 RPM at the axle. The tire travels 97.39 inches per rotation. Multiplication comes out to 67,774.33 inches per minute. Divide by 12 inches in a foot is 5647.8 feet per minute. 60 minutes per hour comes to 338871.64 feet per hour. Divide by 5280 feet per mile and you land at 64.18MPH
Let's shift gears, pun intended
Maintain 64.18 MPH.
Same tire size
Same axle gear ratio
Our transmission output shaft has to spin at that same 2380 RPM to keep the same road speed
*But now our transmission has a high gear of right about 1.1:1*
To achieve the required 2380 RPM out of the transmission through that 1.1:1 gear, the engine now has to spin at 3850 RPM which burns more fuel.
Hope I've managed to help somebody even though it's late as hell and I might have done my arithmetic ass backerdz.
I can help anybody needing clarification though
That’s math

I'm working in the gear unit business (FLENDER) so I found your work absolutely fascinating!
You made a perfect mix of art, science and almost philosophy ^^
To this question about running this gear by the output. Of course it is impossible...
Let imagine the torque to rotate the first wheel (due to simple friction) is 0.01 Newton meter. (which is very low).
you would need 10^98 newton meters on the output wheel... I guess this is bigger than the universe mass (on 1 meter) maybe...
And this is not even taking into consideration all other wheel.
This is the beauty of the system. As it is, the last wheel will NEVER move.
I of course knew but so many people don't understand the physics behind gear ratios. I making a much better one. There I'll show how many gears I can actually rotate by hand. Probably only the 4th
This might blow your mind but, assuming there is no play between the gears, the last gear is theoretically, constantly moving.
@@RylanStorm BOOM! 😳
@@danielbruin If it didn't turn, your system is just broken. It will turn as easily as the other side. You're just flipping the input and output compared to the other direction.

😂this is class, no bs, no talk, just the knowledge he’s still giving it torque 👏🏽

Its an interesting display of physics. You would think, that if you started at the other end it would simply rotate normal and the original front end would become slowed down. But the gears are arranged in such a unique way that this is impossible.
Not even all the energy in the entire universe could turn the last gear at a "normal" speed

Make a device with two mechanisms. The first mechanism speeds up the first gear, whilst the second mechanism is above the second gear.
Then, the first mechanism disconects, and the second above the second gear, speeds that one up (making the first gear go even faster).
Then, the mechanism that was above the first gear flips over the second (or whatever it needs to do), and goes to the third gear. The mechanism then speeds the third gear up, making the second gear go faster, and the first EVEN faster.
Repeat this process with all the gears, until the first gear either explodes, or travels faster than light.

Because of the force required to be applied the connections in the actual material the system is made of is not structurally strong enough to withstand, also it is not physically possible to apply that quantity of force either.
Because of the natural torsion of the axis and the play between gear, the precision of the measurement of your machine is more or less 10^100*A, where A is the phase of the last gear. A is tiny and is fluctuating around zero (because of vibration from the environment), say for example A=0.00001°.
So, paradoxicaly, while it is made to produce an extremely high precision, it is in fact extremely low accurate
You need a very isolate lab and you will be able to "listen time in the vacuum"
just stop smoking man...

Pinhead: “The last gear! You turned it! We came!”
Say again?
Daniel: IT'S JUST AN OVERLY COMPLICATED GEAR BOX!
0:35 Can we take a moment to appreciate how far the cameraman had to travel to film this? Serious dedication
People forget that the amount of torque it makes equals the amount of torque +1 required to run it in reverse.
The amount of torque needed to turn that must be incredibly high.
The amount of torque required is more than what exists in the known universe. If you take all the energy from all the atoms at 100% efficiency, there still isn't enough energy to turn that gear.
I would say 1,000,000 nm
@@EnosGianArkha i don't think that's enough. Maybe add 10 more.
To those who are wondering, basically the torque required to turn the other end would be so great that it's very likely no common tool would even be able to achieve the force required, let alone impart that force on the gearbox without it shattering. Thus as a human being you could try to turn it, but it is almost certainly futile.
Not almost certainly. Completely impossible. I can confidently say, that without breaking the gears apart, that last gear will never move ever. For the rest of eternity. (If the gears don't break)
@@phantomclarence2958 Same conclusion here ;)
"almost certainly"? Lol there is no almost.
@@phantomclarence2958 What if I blow your mind and say that it's actually a gear reduction in both directions? You're just flipping the input and output hahaha. How am I literally the only one in the comments that understands this?
Nice intro to the actual results, you actually had me believe for a second that the last gear was turning. 🤣
How much torque would it take to even move the last gear? I'd imagine the resistance is mind blowing
Three
@@Notadragon621 take it or leave it
You can crank the torque up as high as you want, it won't turn, even if the gears were indestructable. Friction just works against you in this .
Klaufmann nope, 3.
It's three
Plot twist: The gears are turning so fast the camera can't record it. This guy Mr. Zeus himself from Olympus.
Him: attempts*
God: DON'T
People don't realize that this would require more force than the binding force of the material to actually happen.
Ok, now test it turning the first one, than give a little push on the second, and than the 3rd and 4th and 5th.... and go on
When does it break? when are you unable to turn it? are you able to go to the last?
Well it's technically turning, just really really really slowly, and the first gear won't turn until all the slack from wiggle room and compression and stuff is used up.
Also friction makes it a lot harder and maybe impossible.
I can make better gearbox. One to infinity :)
One part is spinning, on is just welded, no backlash :D
the way you made this video.. absolute genius!! very great content keep it up :)
I have to admit: that was incredibly impressive. The tolerances on those teeth is incredibly fine. I was expecting much more slop in between the gears, and for him to be able to rotate the first one back and forth a bit because of that.
Also, even with sufficient torque, the gears would fly apart long before they got up to speed.
