    This took me way back in time to 1966 when I was in fourth grade and curious about mechanical linkages. My dad and I were sitting in a restaurant on rotating bar stools with round seats, waiting for a take-out pizza. He used the stools to show me how forces are transmitted by gears and wheels. First sitting right next to each other ("When I spin this way, which way do YOU spin?") then with one or two idlers between us, spinning me around fast when I was correct. We were laughing and having a great time together and I learned from it in a way that stuck with me forever. This demonstration on your channel today gave me some wonderful happy memories of my dad. Thank you!

    First time I saw a worm gear I was around ten. My grandfather had built me a tree house. But being a machinist, he didn't stop there. He figured I might want an elevator for my tree house. Mom was terrified of the idea of the elevator breaking and me falling to my death. So Grandpa made one with a worm gear. It might have been a near record one being forty feet high, the height of our tree house. Wonderful view. Grandpa also built a roller coaster next to the tree house and a lot of things way too cool for my parent's comfort like build his own electric power plant by stealing electricity from radio waves so we had lights in the tree house, not to mention a working radio that didn't run on batteries and you didn't need to plug in and a mechanical battery that would save mechanical energy when the wind blew and then when it was hot and no wind you would flip a switch and you had a fan that ran for hours.

      Well the issue there is almost of these are just variations of the sams idea: changing one kind of motion into another or transporting it. They're good for a specific purpose but not much outside of that. Like the most important bit to people who didn't know about this is simply the gears and their mechanical advantage. Just hook a few gears up to something you can make spin like a windmill or water wheel, and now you've got a drive for your machine. Use it to grind grain or spin a saw blade or pump bellows. The leap not explained here that would be huge is the power source. Not needing to rely on the wind or water for drive was what made the steam power huge. We already had all the gears and pulleys for a long time, but being able to power them wherever we wanted and scale up that power in was the part that made the industrial revolution happen.

      That's the thing; virtualization uses continuous power, and the software construct cannot do any RL work.

Virtualization is not an end in itself; it is just an intellectual tool for making real things. That's all that CAD/CAM is for anyway.

    Fun fact: possibly one of the most noteworthy uses of the rack and pinion principle is on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, where engines specifically designed to tackle the steep gradient ferry passengers to and from the summit! Their wheels are built with pinions, which fit into the rack built into the rail!
    Other modifications, such as slanting the boiler so that the water would remain level on the gradient and building the cylinders back to front were made so that the engines could tackle the mountain! It’s truly fascinating stuff!

      Honestly, every school should have a lego kit with everything taught in physics/engineering to show during lessons and have students build it themselves.

    I love this! I'm NOT a big fan of Lego "kits" that build just one thing but if it can put together to demonstrate all these (that many wouldn't understand or think of) to build something is a big exception! None of the Legos I had as a kid came as a "build-this-thing-according-to-instructions" kit... just a big box of several assorted pieces and a lot of imagination and we came up with lots of new toys & gadgets. (I used to carry all my random pieces [about 3 assorted boxes-worth] in a big, paper grocery bag. And nothing got built just for display. They all came apart for another new project.)

      Sort of, but not really. Some of those machines do nothing but spin and create extra work for the motor, ultimately resulting in a significant loss of work. In a Rube Goldberg, each segment of the machine performs a specific task which ends with the start of a new segment while ultimately striving to achieve a very simple function in a convoluted way.
      This machine performs a simple task (spin the Viking angel figure) but wastes a lot of work on segments that don't contribute to the ultimate goal. Frankly, I'm kind of surprised the motor didn't stall.

    As a child Lego was my only toy. I didn't have many, but I had old ones and some techniques. I turned out to be very good at the age of 12 at repairing things, fiddling with bicycles, fixing 2 stroke engines and understood easily the mechanics while my peers were baffled. That can't be a coincidence. IMO Lego offers more than many other toys, helps logical thinking, manual precision, learning through trial and error and many other things that other toys don't offer.

      I'd be happy to explain the practical uses of each mechanism and its real-life application examples.
      Schmidt coupling - A Schmidt coupling is used to connect two rotating shafts that are misaligned. It is commonly used in machinery and vehicles to transmit torque from the engine to the wheels or other moving parts.
      Constant-velocity joint (CV joint) - A CV joint is used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels in a front-wheel-drive vehicle. It allows the wheels to move up and down while maintaining a constant speed.
      Universal joint - A universal joint is used to connect two shafts that are not in line with each other. It is commonly used in drive shafts to transmit power from the engine to the wheels.
      Bevel gears - Bevel gears are used to transmit power between two intersecting shafts. They are commonly used in differentials and other gearboxes.
      Slider-crank linkage - A slider-crank linkage is used to convert rotary motion into reciprocating motion. It is commonly used in engines to convert the rotation of the crankshaft into the up-and-down motion of the pistons.
      Sun and planet gear - A sun and planet gear is used to transmit torque between two shafts that are not in line with each other. It is commonly used in gearboxes and automatic transmissions.
      Scotch Yoke - A Scotch yoke is used to convert rotary motion into reciprocating motion. It is commonly used in engines to convert the rotation of the crankshaft into the back-and-forth motion of a piston.
      Chebyshev Lambda Linkage - A Chebyshev Lambda linkage is used to convert rotary motion into reciprocating motion. It is commonly used in engines to convert the rotation of the crankshaft into the up-and-down motion of the pistons.
      Chain drive - A chain drive is used to transmit power between two shafts that are not in line with each other. It is commonly used in motorcycles, bicycles, and other machinery.
      Belt drive - A belt drive is used to transmit power between two shafts that are not in line with each other. It is commonly used in machinery, vehicles, and other equipment.
      Constant-mesh gearbox - A constant-mesh gearbox is used to transmit power from the engine to the wheels in a vehicle. It allows the driver to select different gear ratios to match the speed and torque requirements of the vehicle.
      Oscillating direction changer - An oscillating direction changer is used to change the direction of motion of a rotating shaft. It is commonly used in machinery to change the direction of motion of a tool or other moving part.
      Torque limiter - A torque limiter is used to protect machinery from damage caused by excessive torque. It is commonly used in conveyor systems, industrial equipment, and other machinery.
      Winch - A winch is used to lift or pull heavy loads. It is commonly used in construction, mining, and other industries.
      Rack and pinion - A rack and pinion is used to convert rotary motion into linear motion. It is commonly used in steering systems to allow the driver to control the direction of a vehicle.
      Offset gears - Offset gears are used to transmit power between two intersecting shafts that are not in line with each other. They are commonly used in gearboxes and other machinery.
      Uni-directional drive - A uni-directional drive is used to transmit power in one direction only. It is commonly used in machinery and other equipment to prevent backflow or reverse motion.
      Camshaft - A camshaft is used to control the opening and closing of engine valves. It is commonly used in engines to regulate the intake and exhaust of air and fuel to the cylinders.
      Intermittent mechanism - An intermittent mechanism is used to control the timing of the movement of a rotating shaft. It is commonly used in machinery to stop and start the movement of a tool or other moving part.
      Worm gear - A worm gear is used to transmit power between two shafts that are at a right angle to each other. It is commonly used in machinery and equipment to reduce the speed and increase the torque of a rotating shaft.
