  • @djpsychic
    @djpsychic 6 лет назад +8

    Thanks a lot for this video (especially with my comment on your previous vid). I was really expecting worm gears to perform better. It seems friction it holding them back, not the ratio. Looking at the comparison of the worm vs regular gear there is much less friction in the regular gearing because the ratio difference is much smaller. Higher ratio=more torque=more friction. You could probably increase the regular gearing method by using smallmediumsmallmedium a multiple times compared to smalllargesmalllarge. Even better , because the ratio of the worm gear compared to a regular gear is much higher they still could have use in a smaller package. I suppose that's the trade off here :) The benefits of the worm gearing also is the worm gear can spin the regular gear, not the other way around. This prevents spin back of the load when the motor is idle. As for the axles, yes, you are reaching the limitations of a single axle . All that ratio transfer has to go somewhere thus the axle takes the grunt force, which is friction, which is heat, which results in warping. No surprises there :) The more steps with less ratio difference is easier on the axles, that's why with more gears the axles can take so much more. Add a pulley system would factor X the load as well, but off course increase the length of the "cable".
    As for the people commenting on the fact of using metal parts...sure , you could make everything out of metal and that would surely surpass the performance of plastics, but that would be beyond the point doing this with lego (tm/r/c) right ? Once you go with a metal part in the construction the next plastic thing will fail until you make that out of metal and the next thing etc. It's awesome to see how far pure plastic parts can go above and beyond with what you would expect with common sense engineering. Alright, enough, keep up the good stuff !

    A quick note: a rigorous statistical analysis of black vs grey swirls can be done based on your data! The null hypothesis (or status quo) would be that they are equal, and the alternative hypothesis may be that the black ones are better. The underlying model might be that the two swirls come from normal distributions with certain means which may be different (and for simplicitly, equal variances, although you can change this assumption). FInally, you could just calculate the probability of your results given that the two swirls have equal mean tolerances, and infer a conclusion about the null hypothesis from there!

    The last bit is also a good demonstration on why you need to keep fresh transmission fluid topped off in your car. Keeps the transmission from burning out along with making the gears run more efficiently.

  • @EllipticGeometry
    @EllipticGeometry 6 лет назад +81

    This channel is so torturous. And yeah, worm drives are horribly inefficient. That is precisely why the output can’t drive the input. That can be an advantage, plus they’re compact. But if you want more power, avoid them.

    • @epion660
      @epion660 6 лет назад +7

      Yeah, more or less the main purpose I can find for worm drives are 2 things, A manual precise lift, and some form of RC car/tank as it would act as an "auto-brake" of sorts.
