Very cool. Maybe you should key the handle. Use a file to put a flat section on the axel and then have that slide through the plastic handle, with a lock pin either side.
@TheRealLoganYT Kind of like how older axes are done so the handle can hold the axe head without worrying about the axe head flying off. If you look up videos of people making their own axe handles you'll probably see an example. Lots of machinery use keys in places where they have rods/axles as well (though positioned differently) because the key becomes the shear bolt so if anything is going to break, it's going to be the key instead of all the expensive stuff. The kind of things engineers have come up is pretty darn neat, god bless 'em
If it was metal on metal then that would be the surefire way to go. I think a standard size key on such a small shaft would break the plastic.

I’m pretty sure that’s impossible... with a 10 cm wheel with a mass of 50 g, the centripetal force would be about 55 meganewtons, the equivalent to about 5000 metric tonnes, way beyond the ability of plastics, and even solid steel.
Some ideas from an engineering dropout, rather than substantially thinner gears on the faster end, decrease the infill on the print, you're losing efficiency from the thin plastic flexing as it spins fast. Some combination via trial and error may be needed. You're never going to get adhesive bond to an axle to hold the kind of mechanical advantage you're working with on the handle, it's surprisingly easy to key a shaft with a dremel and then use a dab of jb weld to secure the key.

@@ngiorgos Cause that's the way to lube it. Oil would just fly off the faster gears just how water flies off clothes when the washer machine is centrifuging the laundry.
@@rafaelmontagner9845 I see your point. Maybe a thin coating will survive just long enough for a record? Also, what about drag? I think that 9000rpm in oil will have more drag due to turbulence than a dry gear due to friction, but that's just my uninformed guess
Obviously bearings and lubricant would help, I also had the idea to go up by each gear but you covered that here. I think each gear should be solid on the outside like youve done previously. My only other fun idea would be put golf ball pips on the sides of the gears
Golf ball pips would probably not help in this application. Hear me out. Golf ball pips do increase the range of golf balls by decreasing NET drag, but there are two different sources of drag at play. First, we have "frictional" drag, where the air that is stopped rubs against the air that is stuck to the surface of the object. Second, we have pressure drag. I'm terrible at explanation, but imagine a bullet traveling through water. If the bullet was traveling fast enough, as water has momentum, it would "jump" off the nose, and then come crashing back down together. The void that is created is very low pressure, and literally sucks on the bullet, slowing it down. Golf ball pips INCREASE frictional drag, but this energy goes into creating turbulence that extends the boundary layer, or the area around the ball where relative air velocity transitions from matching the ball to stationary. This causes a lower tendency to suffer from flow separation, and thus decreases parasitic drag. The same effect could be achieved by having a teardrop shape, like hypermile cars, but balls must remain rotationally symmetric. A gear has a constant cross section when rotating, save for the teeth, so I believe pips would only increase drag.
I'd love to see you drive a flywheel with two (or one, two might be too crazy) different gearboxes and try "dumping the clutch" into one that's difficult to drive! It'd be really cool to see the law of conservation of momentum at work :)
Lube all the contacts + use router bit bearings between the shaft and the gears, these are made for high speeds, and you'll be able to get faster with the same input force :)
Me: I wonder what would happen if I put my hand on the last gear..... *puts hand on last gear* Me: Where am I??? Julius Caesar: What strange clothes this man wears
Paint the tips of all the gears with glow in dark ink, feed it some light, and turn all lights off while spinning it. Or paint it with some green/orange neon reflective paint and turn on a dark light near it.
I would like to see an output side flywheel of some sort. Even adding weights to the final gear. It would make it harder to start but i think increasing the momentum would help maintain speed.
The claim that it's stronger than steel is just marketing BS, but if used properly, it's extremely strong. It wasn't used properly here, though, as both surfaces should have been roughed up prior to application.
@@Mr_Wololo its not the materials you should be worried about its the energy required to do it as for stronger materials... well since this one is small then almost any strong metals should work but the larger they get the faster the end gear would spin and after a certain point not even nuclear pasta would survive being ripped apart from spinning that fast
Though this would seem like it would work it would just stop immediately as soon as it hit something. As a sub comment said it wouldn't have enough torque to go through anything and the last year isn't spinning fast enough for the speed it needs to keep going
I'm going to show this to my robotics kids. They want to make a projectile system for the robot, but the motor they have doesn't not generate a ton of torque or speed, it's more of a happy middle ground for the two. They will need to make some sort of a gear box for a flywheel system to launch the object. Because of the low torque, they're going to need a pretty high rpm of they're going to launch the game piece more than 3 feet, so this could spark some ideas for them. Thanks!
Ceramic ball barings on the shafts, Taller mount so you can move it if needed. A keyway on the handle and shaft connection with a metal washer cover for the rear part up against the mount. A solid handle with a handle that rotates with the gears. Gear (the first gear) that can be locked down onto the drive shift with a keyway or flat ends of grommet screws onto the drive shaft. Maybe a clear cover so you can put a light amount of lube on the gears. Separate the gears on different shafts to make it easier to turn instead of just two shafts. Or put the gears after the first gear on barings.
Always wanted to see a gearbox where the last gear spins so damm fast that the structure can't hold itself and explodes into a thousand pieces due to the insanely high centrifugal forces
When I was a child, I my dream was to build a plane using a mechanism like this, and power it with my legs. My legs were extremlely strong when I was a child
Considering the fact that the majority of general aviation airplanes turn their engines at 2,800 rpm or less and this has 10000rpm this would be flyable.
I love when companies say "stronger than steel" for processes and force that don't really apply to the strength of Steel. It is strong? most likely, but it is such a marketing term I can't take it seriously anymore on like... the tensile strength of balloons or trampolines.
If you want fast, 1-go for smaller diameter gears to begin with: the teeth have air resistance, and the velocity of the final gear is such that this velocity matters. 2-make the final gears disks, not spoked. Again, because of air resistance 3-friction on the shaft is a function of speed for slife bearings, ball bearings run a lot smoother. Use open bearings, lightly oiled, no grease or dustseals Pretty sure those 3 mods will result in higher speed
I mean, if you had durable enough materials, and a strong enough cranking mechanism, and enough gears... You could reach the speed of light. Odds are though it would require more force to turn than is possible to generate. X.x
The final gear's perimeter is hitting less than 300km/h. It would take a force 3 million times stronger, with almost infinitely more durable materials to achieve this with the current conditions. Create a zero friction and resistance condition and it would still take a force way beyond our capabilities. And it would still break.
Cool project! I noticed you use hot glue a bunch... Have you played with UV resin yet? I started using that stuff instead of hot glue and absolutely love the stuff. It's a bit runnyer so it won't work in ALL glue gun instances but I find it cures just as fast and holds much nicer in many cases
The spokes in those last gears might make them lighter, but it's also going to add drag. A solid gear with less infill will the job done better.. It'll probably help keep the fastest gears better in-circle as well. The last several gears would benefit in being balanced. The vibration and wobbling adds a ton of drag and is causing most of the plateau you are hitting. Reducing tolerances between the gears and shaft would help with that as well (+1 on the idea for quality ceramic ball bearings). With those tiny changes, I bet you could go a lot faster, and probably with much less force.
reduce vibration by improving light gears quality ( check equilibrium ), maybe add metal tube between gears and axes to reduce clearance, or use bearings on fastest gears And remove gear teeth on last spinnner to reduce air resistance Other idea: add a carter around and between gears to reduce air fluctuations
Something I see a lot with 3d print guys... Glue in place of mechanical stuff. Put keyways into your shafts, no you don't need a lathe, use a bigger shaft, drill through it, tap it and screw a cap head bolt into it. Also, light lubrication and bearings are an easy addition.
2:50. When engineering meets real world!! I see this every day. Lol Build a mirror image gear box and connect a variable drill to it. The reduction factor will give you ALL the torque you need to really make that thing go. I would suggest some PPE for that one. Lol.
@@TheRealNiktWazny the main factor stopping the gears is air resistance, if it’s in a vacuum the next biggest factor is friction against the metal in the middle and against gears which is why you grease it
Dude, some friendly advice from an old woodworker: don't drill holes into your table. Bolt your gear thingy-thing to a scrap piece of plywood - 3/4" will do - and clamp THAT to your table.
Definitely faster than most cars. I've been driviing karts a lot though and they still come out ahead. The largest RPM I've seen there was 17k RPM, my own motor got up to a max of 15.5k RPM. Gotta stress how not common this is for an engine with gears though. Even racecars tend to keep it below 8000-9000 RPM. NASCAR, F1, Indycar and similar go over.
If you do it again, you can get a 12” 1/4 or 3/8 ratchet extension and use a long ratchet to turn it, you can crank it back and forth to make it easier. That way your drive (minus the gears) will be all metal including the handle :)
Mechanical Engineer here... You should invest in keyed shafts, oil-impregnated bronze bushings OR nylon bushings OR cheap ball bearing, and shaft collars. There's no need for hot glue and epoxy here. Press the bushings/bearings into the gears. Besides the fact that you'll have a much more efficient system, these materials are cheap and will allow you to reuse parts instead of ruining them with hot glue and epoxy. Just a design recommendation, make the housing a square tube instead of a channel and fillet the inside corners. This will lower resonance significantly, which will drastically reduce friction.
Put some silicone lube on the gears/shaft, or hook em to ball bearings. That'll really knock out some of the friction :)

Me: I wonder what would happen if I put my hand on the last gear.....
*puts hand on last gear*
Me: Where am I???

This is weirdly cool and satisfying and educational.
Dunno if you could use a laser rpm counter. It'll be cool to actually see the measurement
Lost me when I heard "JB Weld is stronger than steel..." But I appreciate your enthusiasm for gears and engineering.
Finally, a video where a gear with ridiculous ratio is turned the interesting way!
Fantastic!! I'm planning to be a mechanical engineer, your videos are very inspiring!
are you student?
Paint the tips of all the gears with glow in dark ink, feed it some light, and turn all lights off while spinning it.
Or paint it with some green/orange neon reflective paint and turn on a dark light near it.
I would like to see an output side flywheel of some sort. Even adding weights to the final gear. It would make it harder to start but i think increasing the momentum would help maintain speed.
0:25 is UNNACESSAIRLY FUNNY IM LITERALLY DEAD
This video was super well made and you have a great personality. Keep it up!
dad - "get the chain saw we need to cut this tree down"
you - "ok im coming" hands the contraption
dad - "whats this i wanted a chain saw not a toy"
I’m actually impressed that the last gear didn’t explode
"Give me stick long enough and I can lift the earth" - some Greek guy
Mighta mentioned a fulcrum the fuck you gonna do with just a stick and the earth? BATTER UP
"the strongest thing I could find....JB weld"
You didn't search very hard apparently
I think you under estimate how strong it is..
The claim that it's stronger than steel is just marketing BS, but if used properly, it's extremely strong. It wasn't used properly here, though, as both surfaces should have been roughed up prior to application.
And the piece of the shaft going into the handle should obviously be any shape other than round.
@@dokols that wouldn't actually give it less structural integrity for the given application...
This video is a perfect example of why you should let practical people design and build things.
Knowing science behind the things is very very cool
I might try using a hex shaft with hex bearings. The hex makes it so you don't need to epoxy it and the bearings will drastically decrease friction.
Future him: Lets add 5000 more gears so we can break the speed of light!
thats pretty much not possible
@@exorias625 it's a joke mate
Would it be possible with stronger materials?
@@Mr_Wololo its not the materials you should be worried about
its the energy required to do it
as for stronger materials... well since this one is small then almost any strong metals should work but the larger they get the faster the end gear would spin and after a certain point not even nuclear pasta would survive being ripped apart from spinning that fast
1:2^5009 gear ratio
I have an idea, can you attach a saw blade to last gear and make a manual saw? If it's possible i really want to see it.
i dont think the last gear has enough torque to saw anything
@@minerva474 add mooooore gearsssssss haha
Though this would seem like it would work it would just stop immediately as soon as it hit something. As a sub comment said it wouldn't have enough torque to go through anything and the last year isn't spinning fast enough for the speed it needs to keep going
@@fripsebibs rpm dose not mean workable speed
Yes it has speed but it only has a tiny amount of torque
@@minerva474 you took the words out of my hand as I was about to type.
I'm going to show this to my robotics kids. They want to make a projectile system for the robot, but the motor they have doesn't not generate a ton of torque or speed, it's more of a happy middle ground for the two. They will need to make some sort of a gear box for a flywheel system to launch the object. Because of the low torque, they're going to need a pretty high rpm of they're going to launch the game piece more than 3 feet, so this could spark some ideas for them. Thanks!
Ceramic ball barings on the shafts, Taller mount so you can move it if needed. A keyway on the handle and shaft connection with a metal washer cover for the rear part up against the mount. A solid handle with a handle that rotates with the gears. Gear (the first gear) that can be locked down onto the drive shift with a keyway or flat ends of grommet screws onto the drive shaft. Maybe a clear cover so you can put a light amount of lube on the gears. Separate the gears on different shafts to make it easier to turn instead of just two shafts. Or put the gears after the first gear on barings.
Always wanted to see a gearbox where the last gear spins so damm fast that the structure can't hold itself and explodes into a thousand pieces due to the insanely high centrifugal forces
When I was a child, I my dream was to build a plane using a mechanism like this, and power it with my legs. My legs were extremlely strong when I was a child
😂😂
Found you

Did your mom tell you that?
Considering the fact that the majority of general aviation airplanes turn their engines at 2,800 rpm or less and this has 10000rpm this would be flyable.
@@sturmx96 Someone much smarter built a pedal powered aircraft. This required almost a century of innovations for a short low flight.
I love when companies say "stronger than steel" for processes and force that don't really apply to the strength of Steel. It is strong? most likely, but it is such a marketing term I can't take it seriously anymore on like... the tensile strength of balloons or trampolines.
Damn that’s crazy 😐
@@jwaj too much words for your pistachio sized brain huh
@@MrJ183 what did you expect from a kid who unironically posts clash royale in 2021
great engineering mind at work here. Don't let anyone stop you from being an critical thinker, what a natural.
If you want fast,
1-go for smaller diameter gears to begin with: the teeth have air resistance, and the velocity of the final gear is such that this velocity matters.
2-make the final gears disks, not spoked. Again, because of air resistance
3-friction on the shaft is a function of speed for slife bearings, ball bearings run a lot smoother. Use open bearings, lightly oiled, no grease or dustseals
Pretty sure those 3 mods will result in higher speed
I mean, if you had durable enough materials, and a strong enough cranking mechanism, and enough gears...
You could reach the speed of light.
Odds are though it would require more force to turn than is possible to generate. X.x
it straight up wouldn't budge
more likely to break first
It fails on all counts, there is no way go generate the force, no material that could withstand the force, and spinning gear would destroy itself
The final gear's perimeter is hitting less than 300km/h. It would take a force 3 million times stronger, with almost infinitely more durable materials to achieve this with the current conditions. Create a zero friction and resistance condition and it would still take a force way beyond our capabilities. And it would still break.
Reaching c for anything with mass requires infinite energy. Only zero mass particles can go that fast.
Cool project!
I noticed you use hot glue a bunch... Have you played with UV resin yet? I started using that stuff instead of hot glue and absolutely love the stuff.
It's a bit runnyer so it won't work in ALL glue gun instances but I find it cures just as fast and holds much nicer in many cases
The spokes in those last gears might make them lighter, but it's also going to add drag. A solid gear with less infill will the job done better.. It'll probably help keep the fastest gears better in-circle as well. The last several gears would benefit in being balanced. The vibration and wobbling adds a ton of drag and is causing most of the plateau you are hitting. Reducing tolerances between the gears and shaft would help with that as well (+1 on the idea for quality ceramic ball bearings). With those tiny changes, I bet you could go a lot faster, and probably with much less force.
a perfect ratio for my bike, quality built, im likin it
Why is this so entertaining to watch
Put a homemade generator on it and use a inverter to boost the voltage of it. 🔥🔥🔥💣👍
PLEASE connect this to a heavy-duty electric motor and just go to town. See how fast you can really spin it!
Since you are testing extremes, you could remove all internal right angles and replace them with rounded transitions.
reduce vibration by improving light gears quality ( check equilibrium ), maybe add metal tube between gears and axes to reduce clearance, or use bearings on fastest gears
And remove gear teeth on last spinnner to reduce air resistance
Other idea: add a carter around and between gears to reduce air fluctuations
Hey you should make one but with a circular sawblade and a flywheel so that you could try it out as a saw.
Lube all the friction points and secure the handle with a pin or screw.
Now attempt to stop it abruptly
No sé puede de inmediato, aún tiene mucho torque
@@travisbickle9921that’s the point
Money shift🤑🤑
Translation is somewhat bad he meant that it can’t immediately is still has a lot of torque
Try to cut something with the fast gear. I thought it would be cool to see how clean it would cut through an apple or something like that.
It has next to no torque and would stop at the slightest friction
@@andrewferguson5992 wow, youre no fun :(
@Andrew Ferguson @Nicole Parent realism is more helpful than optimism, when the two cannot align. what's wrong with explanation?
@@thedyingmeme6 wdym?
I was about to comment about leverage but this man read my mind
it really grinds MY gears as i saw you screwing the gearbox in a crooked way in the center of the table.
*0:50** Why not Flex Glue?*
Make one life sized and open a gym where all the machines generate power. Put it in california.
Damnnn 😮
Make a home gym with it and never pay electricity bills again. Or until the IRS finds out.
@@winterstar4832fr doing it rn😊
Put this in a car and it go zoooooooom
Wouldn’t work, it’d spin the drive shaft apart. Throw bearings. Rods etc, an engine wouldnt handle this gear ratio
@@c10chebby69 mid mount motor, transmission stright into the rear end. This would be good for a high torque diesel
Something I see a lot with 3d print guys... Glue in place of mechanical stuff.
Put keyways into your shafts, no you don't need a lathe, use a bigger shaft, drill through it, tap it and screw a cap head bolt into it.
Also, light lubrication and bearings are an easy addition.
2:50. When engineering meets real world!! I see this every day. Lol
Build a mirror image gear box and connect a variable drill to it. The reduction factor will give you ALL the torque you need to really make that thing go. I would suggest some PPE for that one. Lol.
hey bro, can i suggest,?
can you put a bearing each of one gear.
too smooth rotation of all gears
If you put everything but the handle in a vacuum chamber and greased the metal very good would that make it easier to spin the gears
wdym
@@TheRealNiktWazny the main factor stopping the gears is air resistance, if it’s in a vacuum the next biggest factor is friction against the metal in the middle and against gears which is why you grease it
@@gerritthompson2246 well I'm pretty sure that in both biggest factor is friction cuz gravity can't be really changed
@@gerritthompson2246 and putting it in the vacuum chamber will make it spin maybe 8% faster meanwhile no friction would be atleast 10x
@@gerritthompson2246 you underestimate friction but if you do both then that 8% turns into atleast 4x
Can you lift something really heavy with it?
No it has almost zero torque so it cant
You would need to spin it from the other side to get more power out of it.
Dude, some friendly advice from an old woodworker: don't drill holes into your table. Bolt your gear thingy-thing to a scrap piece of plywood - 3/4" will do - and clamp THAT to your table.
Definitely faster than most cars. I've been driviing karts a lot though and they still come out ahead. The largest RPM I've seen there was 17k RPM, my own motor got up to a max of 15.5k RPM.
Gotta stress how not common this is for an engine with gears though. Even racecars tend to keep it below 8000-9000 RPM. NASCAR, F1, Indycar and similar go over.
Dam that spinning ready fast maybe you should try make a lathe And try do some Woodturning
Prolly not enough torque
But I'm no expert on it
Not the ideal gear ratio for doing work
@@loganireland3113 good point would still probably be a fun video though
Why don’t you try to build a Fan with it?
I think that'll turn it into a turbine engine and cause it to generate lift.
@@Combothiefand then the FBI knocks on your door, you have to flee the country, etc
To go any higher you're probably going to need to drill a hole in the shaft and add a cotter pin.
If you do it again, you can get a 12” 1/4 or 3/8 ratchet extension and use a long ratchet to turn it, you can crank it back and forth to make it easier. That way your drive (minus the gears) will be all metal including the handle :)
That is just so cool. Great stuff.
Come on man use ur second hand to hold the table and I am pretty sure u can make it to alteast 20k rpm
I'd like to see you life weights with a reduction gear
4:22 for ones who want
By exaggerating what u did, can we achieve speed of light at the last gear? I know we can not but what's the reason

Mechanical Engineer here... You should invest in keyed shafts, oil-impregnated bronze bushings OR nylon bushings OR cheap ball bearing, and shaft collars. There's no need for hot glue and epoxy here. Press the bushings/bearings into the gears. Besides the fact that you'll have a much more efficient system, these materials are cheap and will allow you to reuse parts instead of ruining them with hot glue and epoxy.
Just a design recommendation, make the housing a square tube instead of a channel and fillet the inside corners. This will lower resonance significantly, which will drastically reduce friction.
