Very interesting video. One quibble is with terminology. Gear sets cannot increase or multiply power. They can multiply torque, but not power. They can increase torque with reduced RPM, or reduce torque with increased RPM. But the power after a gear set is the same as before the gear set (minus losses due to friction).

I was in Rotary International; I read in their history that some Engineers advised the Organization that the revised Gear Seal would do no work, and Professional Advice was enlisted to correct the issue in a new Version.

Fair enough but, power is a more easily understood term. It widens the reach of what is an educational resource.

It was outstanding but some kind person went outside and escorted it inside so it could be instanding, they're now looking for a chair for it so it can be insitting.

Pretty high gear ratio, calls for lubricant now and then 😯

Even one synchromesh gearbox seems like a wonderland itself. I have to gear myself deeper into that great topic. I see how Jean Tinguely got fully absorbed by it. Thankyou :)

Great film, this is an updated version of the 1939 film TRANSFER OF POWER. In the US, it was LEVERAGE, with the Harlow Wilcox narration.

At about 12:27, it says that "one wheel with the cutting teeth of the correct profile, generates the same shape in a blank wheel, so vast numbers of identical wheels can be cut." While hobs (cutting wheel) can cut "vast numbers of identical wheels," and the shape of the cutting wheel needs to be "the correct profile," the cutting profile is never identical to the cut profile. The cutter profile is usually straight, whereas the cut profile is curved. A tooth profile is not formed to look like the cutter's profile, but rather a generated curve, specific to the number of teeth in the gear. A hob can be used to cut a wide range of tooth numbers, ranging from about 14 to infinity., each curved to a specific tooth number. count. There are tooth cutters that are straight like a rack, where the blank is "rolled" by the cutter as it reciprocates up and down generating the tooth profile. See "Maag" gear cutters.

Enjoyed the video. Love the idea of gears being discovered, not invented.

They missed the gears used for calculating, from Antykthera mechanism, Pascals calculator to Babbage's analytic engine.

There is no such thing as an involute curve as standard "involute" gears are generated from rack. However, one gear can be made to turn in velocity by adjusting the teeth face of the other. Epacyclodial curves, etc, are a perception of ignorance.

It is my understanding that Roller Chains are more efficient than gears & that is why race motorcycles still use Chains. Victoria brand motorcycles used chains in.their gearbox instead of gears. Cycloid gears are used in Model T cars. It might be because Henry Ford liked working on watches & at the time most watches used Cycloid gears - that is just a guess? I have been told that the center distance between gears is more critical, when.using Cycloid gears as compared to Involute gears?
@ianrichardson88657 ай бұрын
It is true that clocks use cycloid gears and that the distance between gears is critical. It's also true that cycloid gears work better when the driving gear is larger than the driven gear - which is as they are in clockwork.
