It's amazing how much time can be represented by such a small, straightforward machine. If you made one of these with just a few more gears, 30 total, to be exact, even at 10,000RPM, it would theoretically outlast the observable universe before the last gear turned once. You could create a physical representation of the entire remaining lifespan of everything that ever was, currently is, or ever will be with a hand full of spinning plastic disks.

I wonder, if you were somehow able to get the last gear to spin at 1 rpm (without the gears breaking) how fast would the first gear theoretically rotate?
It would rotate at 70,368,744,177,664 rpm, assuming that it's infinitely strong and won't warp under the extreme speed. The amount of torque you would need to do this will be astronomical, infact it is infinite, as the last gear would move faster than light.

Does spinning one time means moving 360 degrees or the tooth of the gear moving by a unit?
One rotation or 360 degrees
Technically the last gear is spinning every time the first gear spins no matter how minute.
Really goes to show how incredible gears are!
I can only imagine how this came into being. It's like they said "I don't know what to spend my time doing, let's make a thing that does nothing and hope it's fun."
It’s the same principle behind clocks/ watches that keep track of days and months as well as hours, minutes and seconds. One gear moves at a speed relative to the next one and the next one and so on and so on.
His choice of making an effort that gets little done was making this gears video or going fly fishing 😉

I like how this video keeps being made every few years.

One of the most random and interesting RUclips videos I have no idea why I watched.
What if you start spinning both ends so that the gears in the middle start spinning at the same time?
You can’t spin the right end at all
We haven't discovered a material strong enough to support that.
@@pinkiepie1656 Even if the gearbox was indestructible you'd need to burn all of earth's oil reserves to get it to spin at any noticable rate, and it still would be way under 1 rpm.
The gear isn't symmetrical.
@@pinkiepie1656 no material exists, it'd take a force stronger than the nuclear bonds themselves to spin the last gear, its physically impossible, litteraly

I love this series keep it up.
I love 3d printing mechanical stuff.
If you wanted to make the first gear spin as fast as possible by hand, which gear should you spin ? The last gears are impossible and the first gears wouldn't spin very fast, so there must be an optimal gear.
It’s at 1:30
@@user-de4cq6uk6l I'm not sure, the sixth gear may be too hard to spin. The fifth gear, or even the fourth, could possibly be better.
@@givrally7634 well the optimal gear depends how hard you can push it
there is no 'optimal' gear. Same as driving a car. You'd start low and work your way up. Engine power limited like arm strength limited. Terminal velocity when friction forces equal strength. @Givrally @f
All are equal.
Nice, I like that. Thanks for taking the time.
Quick calculation, if the gears’ circumference is 8 inches, the maximum possible rotational velocity of the last gear is once in about 13 hours. That puts the first gear spinning at the speed of light.
wait so theoretically........ if the other side is "stationary" and mostly the first 8 gears work... what will happen if we spin them on the other end at the same time... will they feel for example a counter-spin rotation at the middle gears if the friction/ratio is so far apart? will they get stuck/get blocked eventually?
the gears would break from all the force needed to push the last gear (70,368,744,177,664x the effort to push the first one)
Yeah, torque is a bitch.
@@Super-Duper_Space_Goat I don't think he's asking that. I think he's asking if you spin the two end gears contrary to each other, would you end up having two fast groups of gears separated by a handful of nearly stationary gears? Or would the gears just not work, getting locked up due to the contrary rotations just like you'd expect?
I'd say it's possible that you'd have the two fast spinning groups of gears option dude to even the smallest imperfections and tolerances allowing the gear end gears to spin relatively freely for a while before the locking up starts to occur
It seems like you got the circumstances wrong. The gears aren't aligned symmetrically, but arranged with the same 4 : 1 ratio throughout the whole thing. This means that you can't spin the other end at all unlike the first gear where you can spin easily. To answer your question, no. It's not exactly "stationary." It rotates around 1/7 trillion revolution every time you spin the first wheel. He just said it's stationary because 1/7 trillion is almost negligible and can't be detected by human eyes. In gears, there's a thing, if it requires 70 trillion revolutions for the first wheel to spin the last wheel once, then the amount torque exerted by the first wheel is 70 trillion times stronger than when you exert the same force on the last wheel, ignoring friction of course. So if you exert equal force on both ends, the counter-spin rotation almost exerts no torque and will not be able to counter the original torque from the front end at all.
@@victorkao1472 Indeed the gearing means that the final gear will have it's large cogwheel connected to the smaller cogwheel of it's neighbour so it will drive that one four times as fast as itself, the one before that 4 times as fast again and so on. As Victor says the gearing is not symmetrical so you can't spin the other end as he showed.
What might be interesting is considering whether 11 gears setup in a line from each end so they are going opposite ways, and both connected to the same 12th cogwheel in the centre but both trying to drive it opposite directions simultaneously would work. Is the movement of the 12th wheel so negligible that you could actually have the first few gears at each end going in opposite directions without it breaking, at least for a little while.
Probbaly one of the coolest experiments ive seen in a long time very creative stuff
Very interesting. There is so much meaning that can be extracted from this concept.
I’ve been told by many that I must be the most stubborn person alive. So I will harness that power and will live to see that last gear spin.
I've seen a gear system set up that was over 10^100 to 1. You could have spun it until the Big Chill, and that last gear wouldn't have visibly budged.
Imagine the force if he managed to spin the last wheel as fast as he's spinning the first gear
It is impossible, he'd be spinning the first gear at much more than the speed of light, which requires literally infinite energy

This video was amazing! Thank you!!!
4:1 ratio for each gear is very high. Imagine if it was 4:3 instead, then you COULD spin all 24 gears. Then your approx 70 trillion to 1 ratio would become only about 747:1, therefore spinning the slowest gear only 1 degree should spin the fastest gear 2 complete revolutions, plus a little more.
And?
@@larjkok1184 the gear can spin without waiting 25,000 years Larj.
The point of the video was to create as large a difference as possible between the speed of the first and last gear. Making the ratio less dramatic would be counterproductive

the amount of time it takes to spin the last gear blew me away .. wow! amazing video
I wonder what the tolerance on the end gear means in terms of theorethical rotations on the input, must be insane to see how many spins it take to overcome the play in all gears.
I love how we can actually apply huge numbers to something we can interact with.
That is the most energy inefficient thing I’ve ever seen in my life!
A great example with a real and simple mechanism to illustrate an imponderable.
Really interesting how the gears work, so fascinating with the different speeds, and in the colors red, blue & yellow,
The question is if there was no friction, how many times would you have to slap the last gear for it to make a full rotation?
All the other gears would slowly gain speed until the last gear spins.
If there were no friction and no inertia, any pressure on the last gear would cause the first gear to move.
@@stargazer7644 That wasn’t my question though
@@Corzappy What did you intend to ask? The answer to your question, as stated, and as I clarified, is one. Any torque at all on the last gear would result in a full rotation. In fact, it would never stop.
@@stargazer7644 Re read my comment if you don’t understand
Arguably once I guess, if you apply any force to it then it would technically set the final gear in motion, allbeit completely imperceptibly, and with no friction then it would continue forever and at some point have made a full rotation. Every additional time you 'slap' it would speed up the rotation and reduce the time it takes but assuming friction is the only force that would have been acting to slow down the rotation then once is sufficient.
Pretty Sweet! Thanks for the shoutout!
this made me happy!
Nice concept.
Imagine how much speed you could produce if you had a way to spin that last gear reliably
You can’t create energy only transfer it from one type to another. So the energy it would take to spin the last gear would equal the same energy as the first gear creates.
But that’s in a perfect world without friction and noise among other things.
Friction makes heat energy so you’d lose energy by spinning the last gear
If you spun the last gear the first gear would have very little torque and probably wouldn’t be able to turn anything to create energy
You would get less energy out of the last gear than you put into the first gear.

@@GalaxyStudios0 I think you misunderstand how that system would work if it was real

Came across this vid by random nice little nugget of info there thanks for sharing. Have a nice day.
Rest In Pieces Mr. Last Gear, maybe one day...
My thought on this was. First one is four times the second and everyone of the 23 after it too. So: 4^(23)=70.368.744.177.664 Rounds from the first one to make the twentythird spin once
Nice example of properties of exponentials!
Something so simple and yet so mind boggling.
You should add a flywheel to keep the speed in the gears, maybe that would help?
