Uploaded on Nov 29, 2008
This machine was inspired by dreaming about gear ratios and considering the unexpected implications of exponential powers.
Each worm/worm gear pair reduces the speed of the motor by 1/50th. Since there are 12 pairs of gears, the final speed reduction is calculated by (1/50)12. The implications are quite large. With the motor turning around 200 revolutions per minute, it will take well over two trillion years before the final gear makes but one turn. Given the truth of this situation, it is possible to do anything at all with the final gear, even embed it in concrete.

You need a warning sign on this machine! a bright yellow sticker warning people not to put their finger into the last gear.

Pshaw. I built one of these a long time ago; it set off the Big Bang.
You're welcome, universe.

The last gear turns so slow, that the concrete stopping the gear will not matter even if the machine runs through all of humanity's existence on earth. Twelve gears or stages, each reducing the speed by 12.

Vou te enfiar uma sugestão de vídeo para você fazer: Um alerta para os usuários da existência de "pessoas mau intencionadas" que fornecem endereços virtuais que oferecem riscos ao computador. Caso isto tenha frequência nas atitudes e atos repetidos, evidentemente isto é crime cibernético e o propagador do endereço ou é o praticando ou é cúmplice do "criador". Sabia?

E ai "bundinha"? Sempre apagando comentários? Me "falaram" bem a teu respeito a tempos atrás e por isto fui ver o teu canal e conferir, mas descobri que quem te "elogiou" era apenas um "doidinho psico" a mais no youtube. KKKK
