    You should get a motor with a speed controller so you can speed it up slower because the acceleration is what sheered the gear off
    If it’s not accelerating then the only resistance is the friction

    The idea of a gravity generator is definitely interesting, and imagine it could use that generated power to lift the weight up! Definitely one of the more efficient concepts for unique generators I've seen

    • @saadhaider9576
      @saadhaider9576 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      In a 100% efficient system, where all the gravitational energy of the weight went into the generators power, the generator would have to use ALL its power just to lift the weight back up.
      And real life is far from 100% efficient, meaning you'll never generate enough energy to even lift the weight back up. Which is why the only situations in which a weight based generator makes sense, is one in which we don't have to lift the weight up ourselves. For example, water flowing through a damn, is lifted up for us thanks to the energy from the sun. We can then harness it back through the gravitational energy of the water as it falls down and transfers some of its energy to the generator

    Have you considered using bearings pressed into each side of the gears, the more gears you add to the set the more friction your getting between the gear and the shafts, bearings should help minimise the drag of each gear on the shift and give you better efficiency with your power input

      Of course bigger/more is always possible, but part of the fun in this case is doing it with as much printed parts as possible. Otherwise he could just as well build sets of metal gears. In this case the one that failed really needs a bearing. That first gear takes the strongest forces. It failed where it rubs on the axle. That could have also fins added to dissipate heat.

  • @AmaroqStarwind
    @AmaroqStarwind 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You should probably use herringbone gears. Much more efficient and reliable.
    Anyways, if you were to stick a driveshaft on the end of this, and hook it up to a network of differentials, CV joints, gearboxes, overrun clutches, centrifugal torque converters, flywheels (for smoothing), Geneva mechanisms (for timing), mechanical multiplexers, manual clutches for disconnecting things, and so on...
    You could effectively build a power grid for transmitting rotational torque over very long distances, like entire cities, to any machine that needs it.
    At sufficiently high gear ratios, almost nothing would be able to interfere with the torque while it's in transit. Not even a pipe being accidentally filled with concrete, as the concrete would just get ground away.

    What if you had some frictionless, unbreakable, harder than diamond material, and made gears out of it? What if you made the largest gear ratio possible with it, to where the one at the end moves faster than light speed? Would that work? Could you make a lightspeed catapult with it, or would the slightest resistance prevent the gear from spinning? If so, what if you make the craziest motor or engine possible, making your lightspeed catapult, or put it in space for no air resistance?

    if you make a very strong gear box (like large metal gears), you can make a huge ratio. Obviously there would be difficulty with spinning the first gear as there would be so much friction. So, thats where the fact that the gearbox is strong would come into play. If you make a large crank, and a secondary gearbox (smaller in size and ration), you can use the secondary gear box with a power drill to pull the crank (like how you spun the last gear and made the heavy drill and battery go up with ease).
    Here's a link to a video which shows just how strong the gearboxes can get, if you do it right.

    This video uses epicyclic gearing for speed reduction, but all you have to do is reverse the consist (have larger planet gears serve as carrier input and much smaller sun gear as output, ring gear stationary) in order to significantly increase speed: th-cam.com/video/ARd-Om2VyiE/w-d-xo.html
