- I made the universe's biggest gear reduction. Now you can see it run from the start in real time for one hour. Let me know in the comments if you would like to see a full 24 hours or maybe even a livestream? The version in the video is a prototype and cannot run for to long BUT I'm making a version that could run for years/decades. If you are interested don't hesitate to contact me via email.
Follow me on instagram for more: / daniel_de_bruin
In this video you will see the first gear turn about 1000 times, the second gear 100, the third gear 10 times and the fourth 1 time. The fifth gear rotates 0.1 and the 6th 0.01 times etc.

About the work:
On march 1 2020 at 14:52 I was exactly 1 billion seconds old. To celebrate I build this machine that visualizes the number googol. That's a 1 with a hundred zeros. A number that's bigger than the atoms in the known universe. This machine has a gear reduction of 1 to 10 a hundred times. In order to get the last gear to turn once you'll need to spin the first one a googol amount around. Or better said you'll need more energy than the entire universe has to do that. That boggles my mind.
This work is totally inspired by the work of Arthur Ganson. Machine with concrete.

They should livestream this and let it run forever, literally.
Literally! I do not think this word means what you think it means
and then play it back at 100000000000000x speed to see the entire thing turning
Im working on it!
@@danielbruin how tf you gonna afford that
@@danielbruin could you just get a ledger,faster motor and a larger gear that's 10 times as big as the large ones here, thus making it faster
So, I'm on the internet, literally watching 98 wheels not turning. What am I doing with my life.
Fun fact. They are turning! (In theory)
Every single one of those wheels are turning.
Yes.. they are running but.. half of them are running with less resolution than a camera.

That final gear would have unreal ammounts of tourque
You could lift the earth with that crap I bet.
@@SupremeDP the gear would break
@O.A just get an extremely long lever to rotate it
@@falcongamer58 But in the words of Archimedes: "Give me a lever long enough, and I will move the world"... Of course the lever would break, but the theory still stands, and the person you absolutely had to be a smartass to, is completely correct.
@O.A A 2:1 gear ratio halves the speed, but doubles the rotation. So, if you're inputting 100nm of torque at 100rpm, you're outputting 200nm of torque at 50rpm.
Now just multiply this an insane amount and it might be easier to wrap your head around :)
Finally, a video that loses nothing when you double the playback speed!
Actually, that's not true either! You lose half of music and video!
@@terrypen not necessarily, if the video is 30fps you'll just watch it in 60. If the video is 60, then you'll actually lose half of the video.
Im watching on 5x

24 hour timelaps in about 10 minutes or something would be nice!

Question is, how much time for the Last gear to make one turn?
My favourite part is when the gear wheels turn
That's my favourite too, isn't that impressive! I didn't expected that to happen
You mean when the first 5 turn?
Wtf? The whole video is turning wheels.
anche io adoro la parte in cui gli ingranaggi girano
@@JAGER_offduty è meravigliosa
Daniel, you are on the edge of becoming worldwide famous ! Your videos & machines are so inspiring ! Keep your Art alive !
That poor little first gear is like a secretary. She's doing all the work done while the executives are slowly riding the wave with minuscule effort.
Actually, every single gear has the exact same work done at every time, assuming there are no mechanical losses
@@natessilla
Tell that to feminists
@@natessilla Femal... I MEAN FRICTION
it doesnt look like the first gear is actually engaged in any other gears?
I calculated that if the first wheel makes one revolution every 1 second, the last wheel will makes one revolution in a time which is approximately 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times the current age of the universe.
Current age of the universe in seconds only has 17 zeroes. Amazing. We are so tiny.
the first wheel has a spedd of one revolution every 3.6 seconds (1000 revs per hour)
shit
At the end of the hour you haven't even taken up the slack in the first several gears. 100 years from now won't show much change, but the faster gears may have worn out!
@@kilroy987 Tiny is still a large word. insignificant in my approximation may still be to big of a word.. if there are more galaxies than there are grains of sand on earth. the immensity of the universe escapes comprehension. lol
CZcams: "Hey want to watch a hour video of gears turning?"
Me: "You son of a beach I'm in"
This is an unbelievably cool art project. You could genuinely see about installing this in a gallery or something like that.
it could be installed in an art galery or in a science exhibit, thats whats really cool about it.
You should setup a live camera and leave it indefinitely. It would be something along the lines of "pitch drop experiment".
and a counter for the gears spinned
Just like Tesla , red car thrown in space to wander,
I was thinking the same thing. Just 9 months late.
I will keep watching this video in loop until a live stream is available
Fun fact: the last gears probably will never turn at all - the first gear will have its teeth ground off by then, not to think about the poor little motor
why not spin the motor faster
Well technically, aren't all the gears moving simultaneously...?
You can maintain the system. Replacing parts as needed and keeping track of gear timing.
@@bootchop88 no you can't due to the shortage of baryonic matter to produce replacementsas in a duodecillion years
@@gaaberu5728 yes, but the last few gears are moving by probably the width of a few atoms. Unnoticable for several thousands of yrs (if not longer). I love the physics behind this 😍
I absolutely loved this. It's really relaxing to watch. Thank you.
Now this is what im talking about.. Here we have a situation in the making and how this all will end up. In another 1000 years from now. some smart bio robotic Ai will discover this contraption deep in the oceans , and assume this was some kinda major time clock that our current civilization used in rituals!.
Or this could be a clock determining the next time i get laid!
And when it’s due to roll over on the last dial, their high school students will all fear we had an Armageddon clock.
so the antikythera mechanism was just some greek guy fucking around for attention outside the parthenon? Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Mucho texto
I like how for me this is a metaphor for the time dimension: the amount of turns is like our unit of time we use for measure. A gear turns once, a second has passed. Its all relative to the speed of the source of motion though, as gears may complete a turn faster or slower, they progress relatively at the same speed just like the time dimension is influenced by gravity but still feels constant from our perspective here.
According to Wolfram time grid dots are independent from space.
Your choice of Mr. Moeller's music was superb ... constant motion, that tension between major and minor modes, the reiteration of the motifs, and the sheer interest of the music itself... it makes for an engaging hour's journey.
This is genius. Such a simple mechanics, but so great visualization of numbers.
someone: YO THERES SOMETHING THAT WEIGHS A GOOGOL lbs!

I could see this for hours, my mind couldn't stop thinking a lot of things, when I was just staring it. Awesome
This is awesome! Happy billionth second birthday! 🥳
The music in this is so awesome, makes me love being an 80’s kid
This looks like my Fiat 500 gearbox. Damn that thing slow!
If that would be yoir gearbox then you clud spin solar system with it
Michał Krzyżanowski Yes, but very slowly.
Fiat 500 has only 4 gears, and only peaked 17 HP. So we used four of these gears... The first gear reached 40km/h at 5000rpm redline, and the second gear tops at 400km/h.... Basically shifting from 1st to 2nd and seeing rpm drop to 1/10th as much means it won't accelerate in the 2nd gear.
Chaparral 2J Race Car has the gearing closest to this (and with only 3 gears).... But it's a _race_ car with 800 HP in it... so it started out slow like Fiat 500... but past certain rpm some kind of vtec kicks in causing it to accelerate like crazy
same with my fiat 126
This is really great !
I mean, now i have something that helps me when explaining about gear ratio
MO TORQUE BABEEEEHHHHHHH
Probably has enough torque to restart the core of Mars 😂😂
It actually probably has lmao
Way more !
I just love the insane physics behind this. We've only seen 6 gears move in this hour. It will take up to 114 years from now to see the 10th gear make one rotation. So you would see up to only 10 gears moving in your lifetime. Crazy.
Wow this is beautiful. True representation of a googol
Once you get through all the seasons of CZcams, this is a must watch!
Looks good, I watched the entire video in 3 minutes; a few seconds here, a few seconds there.
THIS is what I'm watching during the pandemic. That's how desperate for entertainment I've become.
Pls livestream it. I don’t want to miss a minute
It stretches your mind. Thanks!
happy 100k subs
1 hour and we only see the 7th gear move like 3 pixels. Can only imagine the last one taking several billions of years just to move a atom.
Technically speaking, the other end has started spinning the moment the first gear started. It's just that you can't tell.
Not so. The last gear moves 10^-100 rotations when the first gear moves 1 rotation. Unfortunately, the smallest possible length is the Planck length, 1.8 X 10^-35. That's 65 orders of magnatude larger than the rotation speed of the 100th gear if the gears were a meter around. So, for the last gear to move at all; the gears would need to be 10^35 meters circumference, or over 3.18 AU; i.e a disc 283 times bigger than the sun.
@@crgrier length and distance are not the same thing.
Right; at an extremely small pace.
I think that the tiny air gaps or gaps between molecules of adjacent teeth would take such a long time to close for the gears to actually make contact. The motor will run out of torque I think by the time the 7th or 8th gear moves at all.
Rob Grier so by the 60th gear the movement enters into non-continuum world?
Happy many seconds of being alive, very proud
many seconds
One of the most cool part is that in the progress bar you can see the rotation of each gear better, like it is in a "normal" speed
I can’t imagine the astonishing torque that this would produce
This s how you feel pain: put the speed at 0.25
I think I summoned something
It fascinates me that every single one of those 100 cogs are turning.
I can only imagine how far the cogs would get when the universe ceases to exist. And I wonder how soon we could get a livestream of these cogs going on forever. That would be awesome too.
What a wonderful display you've shared with us. Thank you for your time and creativity.
Most gears aren't turning even a single bit because of the clearance between the teeth of the gears.
I watched every second. Please do some more.
Would be nice to have a graphic to which gear would spin after say a month, year, decade to get the point across. I'm too lazy to do any calculations, you're the right man for the job.
I did the calculations. 6th gear takes 4 days, 7th gear takes 40. 8th gear takes 1 year and 40 days, 9th takes 11 years and 35 days. The 10th gear would take 110 years, the 11th would take 1109, 12th takes 11098, 13th takes 110,984 and so on and so on.
When the twentieth gear rotates once (which takes around 110 billion years) the 100th gear would rotate only 1.296x10^-50 of a yoctoarc second!
Yoctoarc seconds are 1/1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 arc seconds, which are 1/60 arc minutes, which are 1/60 of a degree, and of course a degree is 1/360 full rotations.
No one:
Me: connect it to the fastest motor in the world. 😂
if u do this for your life at the fastest possible speed without breaking u will still only reach the 15th gear
@@CameraKid ohh!!!
I don't why but this machine gives me goose bumps every I see it
its so beautiful ive watched it for one hour now
This grinds my gear
lol
This is breaking my brain
Livestream would be awesome. 24h realtime would be a great alternative. How about a public installation? Thank you for this visualization of eternity.
Ps. the music as well is something to come back to.
Well cool!!
a "never ending" livestream would be amazing but the major problem would probably be the wear of the first cogwheel. you will have to renew it quite often.
When you get 40 minutes in and realise you didn't hit record and have to choose between winding it back, and painting new lines.
Or reassembly
What a beautiful design.
This needs to be live streamed to infinity and beyond!!!! It'll be like The Truman show but forever!
What if you stepped it back up on the other side with the same amount of gears? Theoretically the 200th gear should spin as fast as the input gear.
Hmm, interesting idea. Maybe start with five gears on each side, then add gears one at a time and find out where the whole thing self destructs.
That would be a great demonstration of backlash
Wow. Took a little bit less than an hour for the 4th gear to do a complete revolution. A 24-hour time-lapse would be awesome!
Or make the first sprocket turn faster.
@@danielmol3932
Bogdan Popescu
"Or make the first sprocket turn faster." You don't understand the exponential rising.
The drive speed is not important, at all.
Let's say it turn 1 milion FASTER (an insane drive speed rpm)
It's nothing, because all this thing is exponential. The effect will diluted after the first 6 wheels.
1 million = 10^6 (the first 6 wheels, but the first wheels are not important. A 100-wheel machine it's the same effect as 94-wheel machine)
@@bogdanpopescu8406 because I replied on someone who wants to see a timelaps, I don't understand? It was only a comment on the timelaps...

Well, the author literally asked for it in the video description.
Has anyone thought of hooking this up to a Ford Mustang and just go hard on the accelerator
So cool.
Look up Arthur Ganson. He made a gear reduction art machine that is connected to a giant block of concrete. Eventually it will explode in some creative way.
Be totally pointless like the hadron collider.
So, in theory, when does the last gear move - even the tiniest, most atom-level amount? Does it happen as soon as the motor starts? Which gear can we say definitively doesn't move until, say, an hour in? This is a philosophy machine...
If the system was ideal, the last cog would begin to turn as soon as the first started, just an infinitesimal amount.
In practice, friction with the axel and the tolerances between the teeth mean it doesn't move at all. You couldn't predict which cog moves until an hour in without extremely accurate measurements.
But would the plank length come into play for that last gear?

Not sure what kind of math you’re using there.
Amazing music and amazing work👍❤️
I didn't notice the white markers on the other video, so glad they're there so we can see how little it actually moves!
How many gears would be worn out if, lets say the 6th one has moved for the first time?
Хорошо очень! Сделай обязательно видео он-лайн 24\7 и датчик оборотов и датчик даты в реальном времени.
Something about this is just satisfying
So this is what the mechanisms in the center of the universe looks like .amazing
Goosebumps!! Think of it like this is a sence of time of humans! Or a sence of space! We can see our relatively fast moving first gear but we can't see what it is like when the 10th or 50th gear will spin!!!!!!!!!!! Great experiment!!! Wow! Mindblowing! You can extrapolate this moving structure.... just think of where you can use it as an example.... And the whole thing is not static! Daaaamn! Aaaaaaarggggh mind is blown!!!!!!
How many years could this run before the teeth just wore off the gears?
Or the motor stopped working
If I don’t fall asleep by the end of this I’ll be surprised.
I keep coming back to this video again and again to listen to the music
I clicked for the gears. Stayed for the music.
You can see the fourth gear rotate if you play it at twice the playback speed. You can notice the fifth one rotate slightly if you skip ahead in fifteen second intervals. One can also notice that the sixth one is displaced slightly by the end.
Amazing invention!!!
I feel like the perfect soundtrack for this is a Shepard's Tone that actually goes up, but in incredibly tiny increments.

Anticipating the sequel...A Googol of Googols.
Does this machine have quantum effects when the rotation distance of a gear goes below the Planck Length?
Is it possible for after 1hr the last gear to rotate for a distance less than plank's constant??
R yes if there is enough gears
Just make 1 000 000 000 gears 50 times size of those
@@zemtex2323 Doesn't he already have enough gears? These gears aren't that big and it is 10^100 reduction in scale of movement; if the first gear was 1 meter in circumference then the movement of the last gear would be 10^-100 which is less than 10^-35 of Planck length is it not?
@Andrew Bragdon Possibly, but there's way too much backlash with the gears meshing. To remove the backlash you'd need gears that have something like rubber tips so the gaps are filled but can move with some force, or use belts as those have even less if no slack. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlash_(engineering)
what if we use a very fast motor in the first gear . like 10000 RPM ???
It's insignificant, it counts just for the 3-4 wheels...
This may be visually appealing, but we have a mans who made a lego gear reduction of the same caliber. It seems this year is the year of making reductions
I also have a cat who likes to watch the drum of a washing machine spin. thanks for the music
Doh, I wanted to skip forward through it but enjoying the music too much... now I’m stuck watching gears turn......
now imagine a googol of those gears, for the last one to turn once u would need over googol universe's energy. big, but it's still not infinity
That would be a visualization of a googleplex. Unfortunately, you can't fit a googol gears in our entire universe...even if you made each the size of a proton.
that number is called a googolplex.

What would happen if you connected two of those machines back to back?
That is with the last wheel of the first one connected to the last wheel of the second one.
Theoretically you should recover the input speed at the other hand again!
It would take damn near infinite torque
