[Episode 6] This is the fastest 3d printed gearbox that I have ever created. It has a 512:1 gear ratio. How fast can we get it to spin?

  • “There should be no problem with the box coming off the table” Table comes off floor
  • @thevideo112
    Put some silicone lube on the gears/shaft, or hook em to ball bearings. That'll really knock out some of the friction :)
  • @loganakboy
    You need a flywheel on the highest Gear so it stops constantly losing momentum every time you stop cranking
  • @rlevy13
    The way you made the screw near impossible to reach kind of makes you a real engineer
  • @Spooon10
    Truly an engineer moment when the placement of things doesn’t cross your mind until you have to take what you built apart
  • @fischX
    Infrared camera view of that construction would be fun. Would be interesting to see where the Energy gets lost.
  • @georgel3657
    Use a square rod with a keyway through the gears as opposed to cylindrical. Then you can drive it with a high torque drill. Lubricate the gears. Put a propeller on the end, brace for takeoff
  • @adamhancock2752
    I wish you’d put a contrast color line on each one so that the speed of rotation shows up better on camera.
  • If you have the appropriate tools, try bending part of the metal shaft to make it into a handle itself rather than depending on some sort of glue to hold a handle in place
  • Its currently 2 am and im watching this. What am i doing with my life
  • @AERuffy
    You should add keyways to the gears and use a keyed shaft
  • @Faris_V5
    Nothing like honest clickbait delivering on the common request of "Please just spin it as fast as you can, even if it breaks, that's the point!" You truly are a gift to this particular YouTube niche.
  • @americio2417
    How to destroy world: put a 10000 rpm motor in the hand wheel
  • You should start putting a black mark along the gear at even intrevals, either a single line, (center to the outside), or a pie slice colored in, to allow the casual viewer an easier time counting rotations.
  • @GadgetAddict
    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.
  • @Naif_Vox
    Last gear was spinning 167 times in a second, that's wow!

  • @grahamamon
    loved the no waste method of using the old handle inside the new one
