Thank you for including the proper names. I've been trying to figure out what hypoid gears are called for ages now--I'd only ever heard that mechanism referred to as the "low-center drive".
early trucks used differentials with worm gear primary drives rather than hypoids. bought the tailshaft a bit TOO low... hence why some of the old trucks use chain drive from diff to axle. in a car, they let the engine sit a bit lower in the chassis, doesnt have such a large tailshaft hump, etc... before differentials, about the only place they popped up was in overhead lineshafting, letting a shaft continue past a drive gear as the axles arent on the same plane. and a lot quieter than bevels, with better tooth loading... but lots of sliding friction. sigh.
Harmonic drive gears are interesting because they are incredibly compact while also having an incredibly high reduction ratio and none of the sliding contact or axis change that you get with a worm gear drive. Because of this, they have a lot of applications in robotics, like driving the elbow or knee joints on a bipedal or quadrupedal robot like Boston Dynamics makes. The alternative in those cases would be hydraulics, which comes with plenty of its own problems (mostly about how to keep the fluid IN the system, and not "dripping on the floor").
A similar mechanism called a cycloidal drive offers some advantages. It can be backdriven to offer impact absorption in joints, very important for quadrupedal robots. It can take more torque before failing and doesn't use gears so has very little backlash.
Just a technical note...your helical gears are a special case called screw gears or crossed helicals and are more closely related to worm gears in their operation than traditional helical gears.
1:25 these are actually the gears that Citroen's founder initially invested in, and made a lot of money with them, cause they're much quiter when used in industrial machinery. And the logo of the car company represents these gears
I'd say the Cycloidal Gear is my favourite one, because of the grey wavy bit at the top. So satisfying. Also the Hypoid Gear looks like my bath/sink plugs (just not the kitchen one, that looks different)
There is something hypnotic about watching pardoxical gears rotating from the side angle…In could relax to that all day everyday Edit: I have just seen the cycloidal gear 👍
Planetary Gearing is incredible durable and compact and is used in garage lift motors, Combat robots, pencil sharpeners, etc. Edit: I have more information. Harmonic gears are used in high precision applications, such as 3d printers. Hypoid gears are used in car transmissions. Herringbone gears are quieter than normal spur gears and have smoother operation.
Another Comment, but did anyone notice the Paradoxical Gears has the same sense of rotation for both the gears! That is they both rotate clockwise, while most pairs don't!
Congrats on a million subs. Ngl, you might have had the quickest million journey of all my other subscribed channels. Love your videos and hope you reach great heights.
Interesting story about Herringbone Gears, i think the car manufacturer Citroën had their trademark from a part of the Herringbone Gear, because they made gearboxes for industrial sizes and ships, befor they went to production of cars.
I want to know what all these different kinds of gears are used for. I'm guessing the herringbone gears are good for keeping the gears interlocked in a machine that shakes a lot and threatens to knock them loose.
Looks like someone had lots of fun with his 3D printer. Cool stuff.
Yay they are 3D printed
Not all of them
time to search for stl’s

Those paradoxical gears are actually so awesome, I’d love to see a closer look at how they work
I was thoroughly baffled when I saw them
Yeah, those were weird
Yes what in the world are their applications!
so trippy
Looks like supercharger impellers
Gotta love the advanced air ventilation system
I wonder what part number it has.
It blows my mind.
@@henke37 104378
I don't think think anyone could fathom how it could work
@@henke37 probably 69420
Would love to see more of these custom 3D printed lego parts. They seem very mechanically versatile
CUSTOM!?
vsauce: a
I know that lego constructions are super expensive, take this little help to put an smile in my face with your videos

I love the usage of 3D printed parts! It's another level of creativity!
Edit: If only Lego made a website where you can suggest parts to be produced.
Maybe if a part is popular enough, the community can do a vote on particularly popular ones.
@@justin6581similar to how if a custom set gets popular enough it can be made an official set
"advanced air ventilation system" has no business being as funny as it is
Everything you make is just amazing❤
omg hello

how long will it be before you build an entire wind farm out of lego?
What’s legos?

0:06 I at first thought that said "Congratulations"
Cool!
Thanks
So impressive!!!!

I have no words for how beautiful this is.

Edit: I have just seen the cycloidal gear 👍
They make my head hurt to be honest
these are super cool, i’d love to see a situation where these are more practical than normal gears
same i want data of thier effeciency 🦾🦿⚙️
plantery is on big off-road trucks my dad works on them
they can't go on the road because when there loaded with coal they weigh to much lol

now that Brick Tech has incorporated 3d printing hes going to be unstoppable
I’d agree no more.
Because I already agree.
I need to see a video where you chain as many nautilus gears as possible
This channel teaches me engineering above all else, which is really cool.
i want this guy to build a BIG Lego engine it would be awesome
Great piece of work here! The custom gears all look fantastic, love the indexing setup
The cat is so cute! ❤️
I love the “Advanced air ventilation system,” lol.
with a million of you bro, keep up the good work
Congrats for 1M subs!🎉
Congratulations on 1 million subs!
🎉🎉Congrats on 1m!! You deserve it🎉🎉
You're an awesome creator, your fantasy plus engineering skills make my dream ideas real. Thanks a lot
I've never seen that complex gears in when lego was invented 😮
This feels like 13 legendary heroes gandering around for a important occasion
Brick Technology, hear me out, could you pleeease make a video using those nautilus gears and making the longest chain of them that you possibly can?
Awesome!
Thank you!
And it comes with the 3D files, even better!
Top notch video and music editing. What a delight to watch!
Another Comment, but did anyone notice the Paradoxical Gears has the same sense of rotation for both the gears!
That is they both rotate clockwise, while most pairs don't!
Never knew some of these gear combinations existed until your video. LEGO should make more than just spur, bevel and worm gears.
Congratulations on 1 your 1 million subsribers 😄
The harmonic drive : 4 16 tooth gear : second hand 50 tooth ring gear : min hand the 48 tooth ring gear : hour hand
In the beginning it looked like a 3d render. The direction of the video is amazing!
This is a museum piece ❤
Did not see that manic beat + montage coming at the end, great video!
Very good! This is what I came looking for - the type of clever mechanical design I love to see.
Lego is so versatile!
Congrats on a million subs. Ngl, you might have had the quickest million journey of all my other subscribed channels. Love your videos and hope you reach great heights.
Sometimes reinventing the wheel is not only justified, it's also really cool!
This is amazing. I was honestly hoping to see them all turn at once.
Congratulations for 1 mil subscribers🏁
1:20 the origin of Citroen Logo 😏
I came here for the gears, stayed for the techno montage.
Same. It was awesome.
It looks like a worm I lobe the way it moves 2:17
Some of these are really trippy
Those paradox gears look like a ships propeller. I like that 🙂
Nothing short of amazing.
that cycloidal gear looks so funny from the side! it's like a little worm dancing causes the gear to spin
good video
Cycloidal gear had a sick beat
Whoever this man is, Give him a Job at the Lego Company. He can design some very cool new Gears for new Sets.
This just feels like a glorified gear showcase.
Congrats on the 1 mil😊
These creations make me wanna lego again
Also happy 1 Million! 🎉
I love that you use 3d printing to make pieces of Lego that you need but don’t exist 😊❤ also it’s a genius idea 🎉
Great animation! Loved all the sounds effects! Keep up the good work! 👍 I
The compilation is so cool!
The on beat part at 4:07 was pretty cool.
i was in aww by all the types of gear systems, never heard or seen any of these
This canal is under rated! 😢
It needs more support
Yoo congrats at 1 mil 🎉🎉🎉
Nice one, thank you for the video
Reminds me of the Scrapheap Challenge clock, should they bring the show back a scaled up version of this would be perfect.
Congtratulations on hitting 1 millions subcribers 🎉🎉🎊🎊🥳🥳
Advanced air ventilation system 🤣 3:35
Ambush from doors?
I can watch those paradoxical gears for hours without getting bored
Look like some sick engineering showcase lol
Would it be possible to share the Lego modified files? I’d love to work with a few of these! Thanks for the awesome video!
That was thoroughly engaging... Awesome!
I have learned the ALL-NEW divine knowledge of 13 Mysterious Gears in a Wind-powered Lego Machine.
this looks like such a cool art piece I love it
Nice vid!
that was one of the most satisfying videos i have ever seen
Interesting story about Herringbone Gears, i think the car manufacturer Citroën had their trademark from a part of the Herringbone Gear, because they made gearboxes for industrial sizes and ships, befor they went to production of cars.
Nice! Those ”herring bone” gears is the origin of the Citroën symbol. They experimented, but couldn’t manufacture them cost efficient.
This is beautiful!
love the music sync!
Dude, "13 Mysterious Gears in a Wind Powered Machine" goes hard as the title of an indie movie or something.
this video makes gears fun
How often do you use 3d printed pieces in other videos?
the shift drum really peaked my interest. would love to see it in a transmission of some sort
congrats on a million subs!
i love the kitty base drop
This is really sweet and cute!
The herringbone gears look good for a grinder/shredder
You finally reached 1 million subs!🎉 Congrats man!!
The only way to make this RUclips channel better would be to add the How It’s Made narrator to explain everything.
How It's Made guy: this machine was buily using LEGO and a 3D printer, nothing else (episode ends)
I’m not sure if this build is to showcase different gear types or a Rube Goldberg useless machine and frankly, IDGF as it’s absolutely awesome.
going to be Honest, it took me until 0:35 to realise these were Custom lego pieces
Blown away by that Advanced Air Ventilation System.
