Turning a Googol to 1 gearbox from the other side!? 

It's like trying to close the door by pulling the corner near the hinges

You just didn't put your back into it.

Of course he had enough strength to move the gear... he just didn't want to create a tear in our dimension. How considerate of him.

_“Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.”_ -Archimedes

I don't think people understand just how ridiculously large googol is. If you turn the last gear just by one planck length, the edge of the first gear would move more than the length of the entire observable universe (assuming the gear is rigid and no energy loss)

I know logically that it requires massive amounts of torque but my brain won’t allow that and just wonders how weak he is not being able to move a couple gears

Did anyone actually expect a different result?

Even Saitama couldnt move that last gear. No way.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

Humanity last heard words before annihilation: Scientist 1: "WOW! IT WORKED!" Scientist 2: "Cool. Now let's try the other way."

13.8 billion years ago someone probably tried this for a youtube video and caused big bang

Can you imagine coming home and your kid starts time traveling with gears from the lego box you bought him?

Physics books: _"Imagine a boy turning a googol to 1 gearbox from the other side..."_

This video really gives off "my goals are beyond your understanding" vibes.

Man: I gonna hit the light speed just by gears... Universe: *Anti-cheat initiate*

When you get a new mountain bike, and the kid next door asks you how many gears it has

OK, you've tried spinning the 1st gear (obviously) and the 100th. Now try it sequentially from the 2nd. See how fast the previous gears spin, and see when it becomes impossible to spin a given gear.

This is a perfect example of how music makes the film.

Blackhole: I can stop the time Googol last gear: Hold my revolution

It moved so fast, that we think it's not even moving! Truly remarkable! Good show, jolly good show indeed!

It would require one googol times the force it takes to turn the first one, so we probably won’t be able to do it in the physical world, but a simulation of this machine would be dope as hell

He moved it and it went at lightspeed, it's just that our entire universe went backwards in time to the point where he tries to move it so it looks like nothing happens.

Imagine the theoretical torque at the other end for perfect gears. You start with 0.01Nm and get like infinite torque at the other

What we expected: The last wheel turned a centimeter And we see the fast spinning wheel glows in heat and opens up a wormhole

Rotating 0,000001mm last gear, In your top left vision: "Achievement unlocked: Big Bang 2.0"

Theoretically, if you can make it move just the size of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of an atom, the surface last gear will travel a distance of billions of billions of billions of hundreds of millions the size of the universe. Gogol power

İt takes tremendous energy to turn the last gear. I cant think of the speed of the first gear.

That level of sarcasm just earned you another sub! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

*torque has left the chat*

And this is why the engines stalls if you forget to go back into first after stopping.

Man: attempts to turn gear from the other side... The universe: so, you have chosen death.

The amount of force required to spin it just a little bit would be insane.

"I was able to turn the output gear at 1 RPM" Me: "Then what happened?" Daniel: "I saw God"

I do not know the diameter of the gears, but judging by the size of the hand, I assume it 150 mm .If the surface of the first gear turns at the speed of light 299,792,458,000 mm/s, then it will make one revolution in 1.57188 e-9 seconds. Under these conditions, the 10th gear will make a revolution in 1.57 seconds, 20th in 498 years. Я не знаю диаметр шестерен, но, судя по размеру руки, думаю 150 мм. Если поверхность первой шестерни будет крутиться со скоростью света 299 792 458 000 мм/сек, то один оборот она будет совершать за 1,57188e-9 сек . При этих условиях 10-я шестерня будет совершать оборот за 1,57 сек. 20-я за 498 лет.

Just so you know, with a gear reduction that large you'd probably need the force of the whole weight of the earth to move the last gear.

finally a transfer case that will let my tiny engine allow me to climb mountains

you would probably use so much force that the gears would break

Remember: reduction gears convert high speed/low torque to low speed/high torque. The amount of torque required to rotate the output gear such that the input gear would rotate even once would be astronomical

Ok, but hear me out. Make another one and connect the outputs together. The overall gear ratio will be 1:1!

This is the BEST demonstration of power vs torque I have ever seen. If power and torque were interchangeable, you could turn it from either side with the same force and achieve the same movement at the beginning gear. Instead, trying to turn it from the high geared end results in no movement at all, because there is insufficient torque to even get it moving.

let us pretend for a moment that it was possible to turn that last gear with your hand, and turn it exactly once, in one second. At a 1:10 ratio the second to last gear spun 10 times in that second. The third to last spun 100 times in that second. the fourth 1,000 rotations, the fifth 10,000, and the 6th 100,000. the 9th gear would spin 100,000,000 times in a second. The 10th gear breaks light speed for certain, at 1,000,000,000 rotations per second, ~3.34 times the speed of light or ~3.34c. The 100th gear, would rotate 1 googol times a second. ~3.34e+120 times the speed of light...

If you manage to spin the last gear, attach a generator to the start gear.

**Rotates the last gear by rotating the entire system by rotating the table** Ah yes, engineering 🤣

I wish I could like this twice. That was a perfect arc.

wouldn't it be a great idea to produce these things as decoration to sell or something. of course first you need to make it perfect but this is something i really want to have in my room running forever. (unless it makes too much noise causing no sleep :p)

Wow! It moved the same speed as the camera capture rate, pretty cool.

The result is as it was expected. Now you know kids, engineering kills imagination

This dude is gonna break the simulation

I am not sure why RU-vid started showing me all these gear ratio videos but I like it.

Daniel: tries to turn the gear from the other side Physics: Yeah... we don't do that here

Captain America: Wields Mjolnir Thor: Wields Mjolnir and Stormbreaker Nobody: Turns the last gear

Short story, short. He wasn’t able to spin the last gear

The torque required would destroy the mechanism. One of those things that only works the one way. Even the time it would take to spin the last gear is completely theoretical.

_"A gear to surpass metal weapon"_ -Some random dude in the internet, me

Simplest explanation that I can give, speaking as a professional automotive service technician: If you had a gear ratio of 2:1 and you input 100 Lb/Ft of torque at 50 RPM, you would get out 200 Lb/Ft at 25 RPM. The 2:1 ratio is providing torque multiplication at the detriment of RPM. The concept in this video is the exact inverse. A 1:2 gear ratio with an input of 100 Ft/Lb at 200 RPM would have an output of 50 Ft/Lb at 400 RPM. -This is called overdrive. You're gaining RPM to the detriment of torque which is how your car gets better fuel mileage. Your engine might be spinning 3500 RPM but, your transmission has a 0.68:1 final drive ratio making the output shaft spin at 2380 RPM. And then your rear axle ring and pinion will have a ratio of (commonly) 3.42:1 yielding 695.9 RPM. And then you have tire size actually provides another gear ratio. If your tire had a circumference of 60 inches, forward motion would be 60 inches per revolution. If your tire circumference were 100 inches, your vehicle would move 100 inches per revolution. [At this point, I'll mention that I'm using Chevrolet pickup truck numbers because I remember them without Google so, we're going to use a Chevrolet truck tire] Our tire is 31 inches tall. Circumference would be 97.39 inches Soooooo, we had 695.9 RPM at the axle. The tire travels 97.39 inches per rotation. Multiplication comes out to 67,774.33 inches per minute. Divide by 12 inches in a foot is 5647.8 feet per minute. 60 minutes per hour comes to 338871.64 feet per hour. Divide by 5280 feet per mile and you land at 64.18MPH Let's shift gears, pun intended Maintain 64.18 MPH. Same tire size Same axle gear ratio Our transmission output shaft has to spin at that same 2380 RPM to keep the same road speed *But now our transmission has a high gear of right about 1.1:1* To achieve the required 2380 RPM out of the transmission through that 1.1:1 gear, the engine now has to spin at 3850 RPM which burns more fuel. Hope I've managed to help somebody even though it's late as hell and I might have done my arithmetic ass backerdz. I can help anybody needing clarification though

Speed requires energy, and energy requires force

The explanation: If it takes an electric motor spinning very quickly for a very long time to get the last gear to move a tiny amount, imagine the equivalent energy your hand would have to exert to freely rotate it

**It's not possible!** **No, it's necessary**

I need to this with reduced gears and a big lever just to see first gear turn like crazy.

Bro was just trying to shake the universe

What a fascinating machine. Keep up the good work!

You could start spinning it from the side with the mechanical advantage, then work your way through the gears and see how fast it gets

Published March 23, 2020. I mean look where we are from March 2020 to now, clearly we're just living in a shadow universe triggered by this man's gear ratio.

Hey! I have question... I really want to know what happens if you connect two of those gear boxes opposite to each other... And try to rotate one side of them... Theoretical the other end of gear box2 should rotate with same speed with which you are rotating the gear

Hey Daniel, I'm working in the gear unit business (FLENDER) so I found your work absolutely fascinating! You made a perfect mix of art, science and almost philosophy ^^ To this question about running this gear by the output. Of course it is impossible... Let imagine the torque to rotate the first wheel (due to simple friction) is 0.01 Newton meter. (which is very low). you would need 10^98 newton meters on the output wheel... I guess this is bigger than the universe mass (on 1 meter) maybe... And this is not even taking into consideration all other wheel. This is the beauty of the system. As it is, the last wheel will NEVER move.

So some random alien did this, created our universe and now I have to work to keep myself alive (which I very much question is worth it). Understandable, have a great day

500W drill accu = 2 hours autonomy Turning a revolution of the last gear = A lot of energy... a big lot of energy

You probably need the weight of half the universe to spin it

Pinhead: “The last gear! You turned it! We came!”

If you could convert stupidity into energy, about three to four of those "now turn it the other way" people would be enough to actually turn it the other way.

Wait a minute.. lemme call juggernaut for this

Now I know how the universe got created: by turning the googol to 1 gearbox from the other side.

Imagine if he actually managed to turn that. Then he would have even more energy than the entire universe.

Me after my wife asks me to open a jar and not wanting to fail at it and have her think lesser of me.

Him: attempts* God: DON'T

So fast you can barely see it moving. The laws of physics need to be reviewed after this experiment.

I discovered this when I was about 10. I thought I was a genius, that invented a way to sacrifice speed for power and vice versa. One thing I noticed from my experimentation, is that if you have a high gear ratio, the mechanism just won’t work.

Not even all the energy in the entire universe could turn the last gear at a "normal" speed

I’m growing concerned about what the RU-vid algorithm thinks I want to see...

I feel like one day this channel is going to make a black hole by accident by creating a continuously shrinking suit

Attach the other end to a diesel engine lol

"The problem with being faster than the speed of light is that you always live in darkness"

Even with a crank with the length of the diameter of the universe and the mass of the universe at the end of the crank, you wouldn`t be able to rotate the first gear. Mass: 10^53 kg Diameter: 45*10^9 lightyears = 4*10^26 m @ 1g: 4*10^80 Nm of torque that´s 2,5*10^-19 Nm of torque on the first gear, or 250 zNm (zeptoNewtonmeter)

People don't realize that this would require more force than the binding force of the material to actually happen.

Theoretically, if you could spin the last gear, the first gear would spin at a speed exponentially faster than light.

How much torque would it take to even move the last gear? I'd imagine the resistance is mind blowing

Put that thing in a black hole and see what would happen when the black hole accidentally turns the last gear

Call Eddie Hall and have him trying to spin that please 😂

I'd love to know the math on this. Like how much torque would you have to apply to the last gear to get the first one turning.

Its an interesting display of physics. You would think, that if you started at the other end it would simply rotate normal and the original front end would become slowed down. But the gears are arranged in such a unique way that this is impossible.

People forget that the amount of torque it makes equals the amount of torque +1 required to run it in reverse.

Pov you just got your ten year old a lego gear set. 10 minutes later hearing "mommy come look at my wormhole!! :D"

In theory, is there a physical limit to how fast this could be turned because the edge of the last gear would exceed the speed of light otherwise?

This reminds me so much of the reason you can't fold any thickness of sheet paper more than seven times... Because of the force required to be applied the connections in the actual material the system is made of is not structurally strong enough to withstand, also it is not physically possible to apply that quantity of force either.

At that point it’s harder to tell whether the gear is moving or if it’s just your skin getting ripped off slowly

In order to spin the last gear, it would take longer than 5e75 years to make one rotation. This is assuming the gears are 2 inches in diameter.

maybe if you spin it like this: try to spin the second gear so that its easier, then once fast enough, start focusing on the fourth gear, and once fast enough, start focusing on the sixth gear, and so on.

at what gear would you be able to turn it? I'd imagine if you didn't take the very last gear but like the 10th or so, you could get the first gear to rotate quite fast right?

Ok, now test it turning the first one, than give a little push on the second, and than the 3rd and 4th and 5th.... and go on When does it break? when are you unable to turn it? are you able to go to the last?
