Hi Mr. Puzzle! In American English, “ball bearing” refers to the type of bearing mechanism that uses metal balls (rather than a roller/rolling bearing or other types of bearings). I’ve also heard the loose metal balls called “ball bearings” because most people think of small steel balls when they hear that phrase. Hope this helps, but honestly, don’t worry too much about perfect terminology. You always do such a good job explaining every puzzle that you solve!
@@Mr.Puzzle Put "pawl clutch" into google and you'll quickly find references to the type of mechanism this is. This a variation however as most pawl clutches are used to lock rotation in one direction. When this one lines up it does allow reverse rotation which makes it quite clever.
Ball bearings = the noun "bearings" is described by the adjective "ball" to indicate the shape of these specific bearings. "Bearing balls" = the noun "balls" is described by the adjective "bearing" indicating what function those specific balls have. If you call them "bearings" (noun), then they can be described as "ball bearings". If you call them "balls" (noun), then they can be described as "bearing balls". Both ways are perfectly correct in English and if people complain then it is because they don't understand the difference between nouns and adjectives.
A ball bearing is a specific type of bearing. These are the balls which are typically part of that type of bearing. Therefore bearing balls is more correct.
Thing is that you can’t *just* turn one direction, because that locks up the balls inside by friction. So you have to move it back a little to try to turn it. But not too much, because then you move backwards.
Bro! I am so freaking impressed with your intelligence. Besides watching your mind work through that, I REALLY want that a copy of that puzzle!Touched my heart in various ways.
Mr. Puzzle did send LPL a lock puzzle. Not surprisingly, it took LPL a few seconds to get it open. Probably wouldn't do quite as well with another type of puzzle.
This key is like the one for my shed. I employ the shake and shout method. Your methodology and understanding of the solutions is great. Good job! Propeller next.
Just been going through old Mr Puzzle videos and I have learnt some mechanical engineering (I'm an robotics engineer - little bit of mech more elec!) but still great. I want to see the rest now
hi Mr puzzle .. i think you are you the brilliant ..but not the puzzle .. brilliant as usual .. you know what ..?? till now ..i did not subscrib any channel exept yours .. you are the only one who was able to cupsured me .. have a nice evening dear Mr puzzle ..😊😊😊
i recently solved perplexus! took me a few hours but it was worth it,it was quite challenging and I quite enjoyed it,i hope to dothe harder ones next,but the classic one gave me a run for my money
The mechanism seems pretty similar to "single way roller clutch" or "renold trapped roller clutch". Only implemented with just 2 bearing balls to allow the clutch to "fail" to allow opening the lock.
That was brilliant, although I think they should have trolled you, ship it in the locked position and have the keys blade(?) offset slightly. You might be able to see it but it would mess with your expectations. Also I'm still half asleep, can someone explain what is stopping you turning the puzzle in the locked direction to solve it?
@@Mr.Puzzle I think I'm just a bit slow Mr P! When u first watched it I thought you could turn the key to lock it through 360 degrees and therefor open it again. I assume there is something stopping the key turning round completely on the case though. I understood the puzzle mechanism though, it was lovely in its simplicity. Great video too, thanks for the upload.
My first guess was to turn the case instead of the key. And looking the mechanism inside later, looks like maybe i was right. Once you find the correct angle, just turn the case and try to keep the key in the same angle.
So the trick is to not rotate the key but to rotate the puzzle itself as soon as it's unlocked you can rotate it infinitely until you slide the key out
When the front of it is laying on the table, it looks like there is something just to the right of the bottom of the keyhole. Perhaps it is some sort of block. The key is definitely being stopped at that point regardless of which direction it is coming from.
I thought it was pretty clear too. The most annoying part of it, though, was him jiggling the key so far backwards that he undid his progress. Even if the key's required orientation wasn't noticed, it should have been abundantly clear that jiggling it backwards was unnecessary after the first time he did it (or the second....or the third.........etc.).
@@SgtSupaman The moving backwards doesn't bother me because it was part of Mr puzzle trying to understand the method for solving the puzzle rather than doing it by chance.
Watching a video is a bit like watching a picture after it was taken. Before you take it you focus so much on the item you shoot that you do not see the things around it. After you took the pictue you see a lot of additional stuff you haven't seen before. You can imagine it to be about the same when solving a puzzle live on camera. You need to explain what you think and see and this makes it definitely harder to discover all details as when doing it alone.

Very true, technically the balls in a ball bearing are "bearing balls".
🤩

12:51 : Ratchet would also be correct, though those are mostly used in tools such as a socket wrench.
The mechanism of this puzzle is truly amazing. Very cleverly made.

A single ball is not a bearing. A bearing is an assembly.
A ball bearing is a specific type of bearing. These are the balls which are typically part of that type of bearing. Therefore bearing balls is more correct.
No. NO MORE BALLS.
This guy is a legend for being so consistent
Agreed
The instinct to twist a little bit clockwise prior to every counter-clockwise turn really seemed to get you on this one. :P
It seems designed to defy expectations at every _turn._
...
I'll get my coat.

lol The BEST PART was YOUR Drawing! NICE! You DID have the 'Right' Idea. Bravo!
Bro! I am so freaking impressed with your intelligence. Besides watching your mind work through that, I REALLY want that a copy of that puzzle!Touched my heart in various ways.
A one way bearing! I love these metal 'engineering' type puzzles. So glad you got the allen keys out and showed us the inside workings.
I feel like I’m watching an alternate universe version of a LPL video.
Mr. Puzzle did send LPL a lock puzzle. Not surprisingly, it took LPL a few seconds to get it open. Probably wouldn't do quite as well with another type of puzzle.
If only an LPL video was 15 minutes long...
Hahaha for reals!
The elegant solution was so satisfying to watch 😊
This key is like the one for my shed. I employ the shake and shout method. Your methodology and understanding of the solutions is great. Good job! Propeller next.
Now you know the trick is to hold the key still and turn the shed. 👍
2:35 was literally the best place I've ever seen to put an add 👏👏👏
I would like to see both of the other puzzles too, please, but Lighter first. TY!
11:20 "What is this? Don't do this to me, I don't want to break..." hahah while attempting to open it to show its serects... too funny Mr Puzzle! 🤣
Just been going through old Mr Puzzle videos and I have learnt some mechanical engineering (I'm an robotics engineer - little bit of mech more elec!) but still great. I want to see the rest now
That mechanism is beautiful. Really elegant machining and aesthetic.
that was satisfying. very satisfying.
keep ooon puzzling dear Mr puzzle ..
you are great ..
Thanks for sharing the puzzles with us. I vote for Propeller puzzle next
hi Mr puzzle ..
i think you are you the brilliant ..but not the puzzle ..
brilliant as usual ..
you know what ..??
till now ..i did not subscrib any channel exept yours ..
you are the only one who was able to cupsured me ..
have a nice evening dear Mr puzzle ..😊😊😊
Very nice! I just love little metal puzzles.
That's not quite the mechanism I was imagining in my head but that is also a lot more clever and simpler to execute.
and such a simple and clean outfit!
of course I'd like to see both of the puzzles..
Very clever mechanism. I like R2D2 and will be great to see the propeller.
I like these little puzzles and I vote for the propeller! :D
I want to see all three today please.
Clever design indeed. Salute !!
"This is Mr. Puzzle and what I have for you today is..."
I wonder if LPL would enjoy this one, simply for the aesthetics. Though it's probably unpickable and unusable if mounted on a door or in a vice...
Hmm. I got an ad for the "square wave" gadget toy dealie that Mr puzzle showed us a while back. Cool.
thanks that was great
Nice! Twist the lock not the key! Brilliant.
Awesome puzzles beautifully made.You are a legend at puzzles. My choice would be the propeller puzzle next
Thanks!
Simple and complicated at the same time
That windmill puzzle looks interesting! But, I'd probably enjoy watching either one honestly :)
Omg the whole time i was like " just hold the key and turn the puzzle" i was right for once!😁
I want to see both!
i recently solved perplexus! took me a few hours but it was worth it,it was quite challenging and I quite enjoyed it,i hope to dothe harder ones next,but the classic one gave me a run for my money
Ich würde gerne das Feuerzeug-Puzzle sehen 👍
I’m pretty sure he put the screws in that tight so you wouldn’t accidentally “over puzzle” the puzzle.
Did you ever solve the Propeller and lighter puzzles? I'd love to see them.
Still in my cabinet, untouched.
That's pretty hilarious, having to turn the lock instead of the key
Do the propeller one next please :)
Thank you for this, did you think of a spin move? I would like to see the propeller puzzle. Thank you again.
Jeez this one is sweet!
Propeller one please because my Dad flies model aeroplanes.
The mechanism seems pretty similar to "single way roller clutch" or "renold trapped roller clutch". Only implemented with just 2 bearing balls to allow the clutch to "fail" to allow opening the lock.
The lighter puzzle next please
This is amazing, how do people even think of this
That was brilliant, although I think they should have trolled you, ship it in the locked position and have the keys blade(?) offset slightly. You might be able to see it but it would mess with your expectations.
Also I'm still half asleep, can someone explain what is stopping you turning the puzzle in the locked direction to solve it?
See at the end. I demonstrated it in open condition.
@@Mr.Puzzle I think I'm just a bit slow Mr P! When u first watched it I thought you could turn the key to lock it through 360 degrees and therefor open it again.

Great video too, thanks for the upload.
Check 11:34 when the puzzle's lid is tilted diagonally, in the lid there's a little block to the right of the keyhole
@@Glycheer I thought there must have been, guess I missed it first time through. Thank you!
I want to own this puzzle just to watch friends struggle to figure it out and then solve it myself in two seconds
Why is there no more ball bearings? A ball bearing is different then a roller bearing and many othrr bearings.
this is what i was thinking
Ball bearings are bearings that use balls. He's talking about the balls found inside ball bearings which are technically known as bearing balls.
Hello.. World Famous Mr. Puzzle Do the Solutions for the Propeller Puzzle and the Lighter Puzzle so we could purchase, PLEASE !!!
It IS "Ball Bearings"
Nice puzzles, butt the prices are crazy
My first guess was to turn the case instead of the key. And looking the mechanism inside later, looks like maybe i was right. Once you find the correct angle, just turn the case and try to keep the key in the same angle.
Oh, you did it later, lol. Well, im proud of myself 😅
I’ve been watching some of your past videos, which made me wonder what you do with these puzzles once you’ve finished them. How do you store them?
I do not display them. Only very few to let people fiddle with them. The rest is in my office in a cabinet. Complete chaos. :P
@@Mr.Puzzle 😊 three are some beautiful puzzles you have
What is the function of the tiny gap in the key? Would the puzzle become impossible to solve if the manufacturer forgot to cut that?
No
Why not both.
The lighter looks cooler but I think the propeller looks promising as a puzzle.
So the trick is to not rotate the key but to rotate the puzzle itself as soon as it's unlocked you can rotate it infinitely until you slide the key out
Hi Mr.Puzzle could you please do the Propeller one I am trying to buy it for someone and want to see if it would be to hard or how easy it is.
Plot twist: you need to rotate the lock, not the key
hi dear ..i prefer to work on the lighter first ..☺☺pleas
Whats stopping you from going backwards all the way around and pulling it out that way
When the front of it is laying on the table, it looks like there is something just to the right of the bottom of the keyhole. Perhaps it is some sort of block. The key is definitely being stopped at that point regardless of which direction it is coming from.
I'm curious about the lighter puzzle
Brilliant puzzle where the proper way to solve it is to turn the lock instead of the key. Who would have thought?
So confusing hearing Pestily's intro music in your video. :P
The solution is engraved on the body, always keep the key in the presented position.
where can i get this puzzle? I have a old puzzle with a similar concept but this one looks so modern
Propeller puzzle!
Beide
Lighter puzzle!
Propeller
There are roller bearings so the correct name is ball bearings.
it's already 4 months and still no lighter or propeller puzzle :(
Hello Mr. Puzzle
Was I the only one that thought it was pretty obvious that the key was only turning when upright?
I thought it was pretty clear too. The most annoying part of it, though, was him jiggling the key so far backwards that he undid his progress. Even if the key's required orientation wasn't noticed, it should have been abundantly clear that jiggling it backwards was unnecessary after the first time he did it (or the second....or the third.........etc.).

The lighter puzzle
Oh the dilemma between commenting first or waiting to watch the whole video before commenting something clever
Or you could comment only if you have something relevant to say about the video.
The lighter one
Spin it would be too easy no?
Lighter first
The lighter please next time , take care buddy !
Americans say "ball bearings"...you can say whatever you want
😁👍
I want that puzzle too please be kind to sponser me 😂
Please somebody help me
He solves the puzzle at 3:28 but spends the next 5-6 minutes acting like he didn't.
so the solution is not to rotate the key..but the lock
Put your lighters up
Mrpuzzle Please help me
Did you just draw Coronavirus in this video?
