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!

[@robertcatron7107]

That is absolutely an absolutely magical memory/ life lesson, thank you for sharing that. My daughter hasn't even started kindergarten, but believe it or not shows tremendous curiosity, and true careful study (or wonder) for little mechanical principles and examples like this. Maybe one day I can explain mechanical theory to her, using something similar to the bar-stool method your dad used to explain to you, all those years ago.

[@XSniper74184]

That's the best part about basic physics stuff, so much can be learned just by fiddling around. With a little bit of explanation added in and suddenly you can hear why what you see happens or vice versa, it's amazing for comprehension.

[@XSniper74184]

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.

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! Edit: I am aware of other uses of the rack and pinion principle, hence why I said “possibly one of the most” as opposed to “objectively the most!”

Yes, many of these linkages have excessive friction, wear and tear as their drawbacks, which means that in practical application they must _always_ be offset by the additional degrees of freedom of movement they offer. This is why I expected some of the movement to be directed backward to actuate (move about) the fixtures of some of these linkages. So I am rather disappointed.

[@alfaaditya6357]

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.

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.

[@drakefallentine8351]

@@McSlobo The offset gears do achieve an intermittent 90° rotation, but the speed must be limited as there is no positive stop to prevent over-running at a higher rpm. The intermittent mechanism (based upon Geneva gear principles) maintains a constant 90° rotation at any speed because it incorporates a positive stop to block further advancement of the driven component at the end of each cycle. On a side note, the offset gear design is not a practical device as the chance for misalignment of the gear teeth exists by design with potentially disastrous results.

The scotch yoke is commonly used on the drive wheel in a class of manual machine tools called shapers, that use just a reciprocating motion to plane off metal. the unidirectional rotation mechanism it's similar to how some setting mechanisms and calendar setting mechanisms work in wrist watches- often called a wig wag wheel informally- a gear pivoting on a rotation point so that it can go in and out of contact with two separate gears. That straight line linkage with a return arc I have never seen before, along with the initial motor coupling. This was satisfying to watch and I learned something. The most amazing thing about Legos to me is that someone figured out a modular spacing system that underlies all of these parts that they create as time goes on but they all interoperate.
