You never disapoint me. You produce pure good quality content. Keep up the good work. I'd love you to be my math teacher.

[@rhook]

I enjoyed this very much and, as a long time Escher fan, although he may not have had math background per se, he was the youngest son of civil engineer , George Arnold Escher :) thank you for another wonderful lecture made fun.

[@richhooker1263]

Thank you for sharing!

[@SkaveRat]

this really needs a 60fps version to make the animations buttery smooth :D

[@subjectnamehere3023]

*240 fps

[@csm5040]

I think this channel is an underrated wonder.

[@jonasoffermartins9480]

I'm a 1st year engineering student and just learned about this type of gears last week. I really love how you turned something so technical into these amazing animations. Sometimes I just forget how beautiful math and science are.

[@tenns]

After watching the old Tony's new videos about gears I was reminded about yours. Love the videos you put out, they really are the best, no joke.

[@whattodo9801]

Love your videos... May I ask, what are you using to make your animations? I'm guessing you program them, if so, would you share some of your codes? I tried making my own program to make a line-picture after watching your video (nice job there too btw), and I was going to make a program to make gears also, so if you already have a start, I thought I'd ask now. Anyway, I'm making a lasercutter/printer atm, and trying to make controller, protocol, everything on my own (although it's not perfect it does work atm). Also need to make it work with bezier curves (another thank you) instead of just circle(part)s and lines... ... Sorry for long ramble, thank you for nice videos, share your background work or not, still interested in knowing what you use :)

[@TheOneMaddin]

I recognized that for a lot pictures and animations he uses the computer algebra system Mathematica.

[@emilydawra-jensen7869]

This is so awesome!! The visuals are so incredibly satisfying. The sphere in the gear plane is my fav.

[@theskeletongang]

9:06 Gif ittttt

[@Macieks300]

One of the problems with most of the science/math videos on KZbin is that they either not explain something in-depth (most of popular science) or they are 2 hour videos from universities, so they are too in-depth for most people and I think you nailed the midpoint between those two almost perfectly. I only feel like you should've explained that complex numbers transformations more comprehensively.

[@focf1981]

BLEW. MY. MIND. That was AMAZING! Also, loved the music.

[@admiralhyperspace0015]

speechless and breathtaking....

[@adarshkumar4336]

I am tripping! He deserves a lot more subscribers than he currently has. Some day, you'll get there! Hopefully, soon.

[@donaldasayers]

Involutes are not the only shape that can be used to make gears, they are the only shape however where the gear spacing is not critical, move the gears apart slightly and the drive will still be smooth. Considering a pair of meshing gear teeth as a cam and follower, it is obvious that there are an infinite number of curves that will work. Clocks often use cycloidal gear teeth, meshing with other cycloid teeth of even circular pins. Cycloid on cycloid teeth roll rather than slide one upon the other and give less friction.

[@KingSlimjeezy]

dude you are awesome. i just dropped in to check your channel after remembering it (binged your vids back in december and you gradually faded from my feed - youtube algorithm fail...) But this actually is SUPER relevant to a project im working on because i need to MAKE GEARS at some point. This saves me so much time having to research optimal gear shape or just many trial and error cycles (my default method for such projects.) Bravo and thank you,

[@petrsokol588]

Maaan! Esher's the KING!

[@josephgoebbelssmile2700]

This channel is so awesome! I really appreciate the effort you put into not only making these beautiful math/art love children, but also explaining the methods and mathematics involved in making them. 😊

[@guinea_horn]

Gifs of these animations are going to be on reddit forever now

[@kevinbihari]

Dude that was so trippy

[@laurapittshooker9877]

You continue to amaze me. This video is one of my favorite of yours. Thank you for teaching us in such a fun way.

[@alcesmir]

I remember watching Bart de Smit doing a presentation on his work on Escher back in around 2010. Was super cool then and it still is. :)

[@TakaiDesu]

So awesome!!! I need more!!!

[@LordBax]

I'm sorry if this has been answered before but what language do you create the animations in? I've been learning processing but wondering if there is a better on for this kind of stuff. Great video as always. Keep up the good work.

[@oanjenaldwrel3720]

mind blown!!!! extremely satisfied!!!

[@TheNutkrakr]

amazing video, man. i love your content, keep up the good work.

[@alessandropodofillini2292]

Where have i been since nowwwww

[@MaxwellsWitch]

The intersection of math and art is often sadly unexplored.

[@PlayNowWorkLater]

Love your enthusiasm! Keep making more videos! Pretty please!

[@hannasolo4539]

RIP The animator

[@Villfuk02]

HE is the animator

[@hannasolo4539]

RIP him;(

[@friedkeenan]

Programs should make the process pretty simple

[@tonipejic2645]

He has most likely made those programmatically.

[@knightriderultimate]

I'm still curious how... -.-

[@ferdinandkraft857]

I wish I could like this video a thousand times.

[@DevashishGuptaOfficial]

Simply Amazing! Eye and brain candy!

[@chapaj3000]

Great work! I had so much visual fun :)

[@thejamesthird]

Mind blowing!

[@yasserqabbary5461]

Very nice video a must see for people who care for gears

[@mokopa]

When I started the video, I though "I'm unlikely to click on LIKE for a video about how to draw gears" but then...

[@viniciustavares6578]

Awesome video man

[@stydras3380]

plain old awesome!! Thats brilliant :D

[@maartenvs01]

Very nice! Thanks

[@Core5]

This is amazing. Subscribed.

[@hundertzwoelf]

I really enjoy your videos! Keep on doing this awesome stuff

[@phlimy]

Awesome animations and editing, and super interesting stuff! I'll definitely have fun toying aroung with this!

[@confused_horse]

Wow, that became somewhat trippy. Don't do math kids.

[@BigPapaMitchell]

You just perfectly solved a question I've had about some fractal gif I saw a while back, wondering how someone could possibly render that. This was great.

[@AngryArmadillo]

Beautiful video! (As always)

[@112BALAGE112]

jawdropping

[@tunacuma]

Keep upload videos you are awesome!

[@leokissling7072]

amazing

[@brycegutierrez4677]

Gosh I love how beautiful math is!

[@montagray3761]

Wow. This guy really loves gears.

[@yakov9ify]

So this is what acid feels like

[@GRex0o0]

Mind. Blown! Have always been intrigued by your contents. Please tell us what process / software do you use to animate these complex projections.

[@blue_blue-1]

Amazing good work, and even better: „peace“!

[@steventhijs6921]

I don't understand how you don't have a million subscribers

[@manhdo5841]

your channel deserve more subscibers!!

[@amodghimire]

Great stuff but all I can think about is the story of "Gear Wars" by Gearhead.

[@maxmccormick3376]

The picture being within itself is called the Droste effect after Droste cacao mix

[@0chansiuming0]

1.2K likes but only 6 dislikes , haters could do their job because the video is just way too good

[@watcher8582]

This was really great, thanks.

[@thismianeptunis]

Absolutely gorgeous video! Is there any chance you might do a later video on the connection between stereographic projection and complex functions? Either in general or the specific case of f(z) = (1-z)/(1+z) mentioned in the video. That sounds like a fascinating subject!

[@omnirath]

Lost in the wheels of confusion...

[@MadSki11s]

7:48 No, not gonna turn. 8:50 Jaw = Bass = Dropped

[@jimharvey1752]

Hey man, really nice video. I was wondering if you could upload your videos at 60 frames per second in the future? It would make viewing moving parts a much smoother experience. Cheers.

[@kevinocta9716]

Killer!

[@sreckoacimovic104]

It's awsome how mathematics has huge apllication in engineering.

[@dylansteinkey2220]

Perfect video once again, keep up the good work you probably underpaid math post-doc

[@BarnacleBrown]

Very good video! 322 likes and still zero dislikes. Nice.

[@EngineerNick]

Legend :)

[@kinvert]

github? We teach kids Robotics / Programming and I'd like to look in to teaching this as an art class. We tend to teach in Python.

[@LordBax]

I don't know what language he uses but Processing is a really easy to use language that's made for artists. As easy as Python to get started in. The youTube channel "The Coding Train" has really good videos on it. Good luck. I would have got into programming a lot younger if they had taught programming as an artistic medium in my school.

[@RenkiexRenkie]

Really cool video man, what programs were used to animate the gears and spirals?

[@ryandavis8000]

Math is so beautiful...

[@alexeifando747]

That's gangster

[@gayMath]

GEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAARS YAAAAAAAY

[@kugelbl1tz285]

How is this guy not famous yet??

[@bupeldox5759]

wintergatan just did a video on dank gears, any inspiration or pure coincidence? also really nice job on explaining stenographic projection

[@Mazidox]

I thought the same thing when I started watching this vid

[@vivekthomas8]

Dank gears?

[@anselmschueler]

How would he be able to make a video that fast?

[@geekman2000]

11:38 Fidget spinners haha

[@krcmaric]

This video would be so much better re-rendered at 60 frames per second.

[@toddscamera]

Wow, watching this video I know I am not smart at all.

[@n00dle_king]

KZbin compression really did a number on some of these animations :(

[@ferdinandkraft857]

I miss your videos

[@GoldPlatedGoof]

Thanks for that man. I will try to stage some sort of a comeback soon. I've just been really busy.

[@Berserker9_Games]

Complex Numbers!!!!!!!!

[@kelyncrandall7452]

This is amazing! What software did you use to make these animations?

[@soyoltoi]

How did you produce these animations? They're so cool.

[@anon8109]

anyone else feeling hypnotized?

[@YowYow007]

You got a sub with this vid (Y)

[@brandnewer]

Wow.

[@spicysand5085]

my brain hurts

[@apurbabiswas7218]

Amazing content. I'm curious as to how you learn this stuff. I know you're a Maths grad student, but how are you learning about gears and this level of programming? I'm just amazed. Again, great video. Eagerly waiting for your next upload.

[@atulit]

I loved but hard to make it

[@ArcheroftheMinecraft]

I felt like I was in 2001 Space Odyssey.

[@JohnDoe-xy6sl]

:') You're what I aspired to be, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Ps :My curiosity is wet

[@thriemboy1706]

Math. Is. AWESOME! If it wouldn't be so hard to understand and explain.

[@wupsje1]

Pixel Inside for basics maths try Eddie Woo’s videos, he’s a brilliant teacher!

[@Arthur0000100]

woah.. is this what a math-design-gasm feels like?

[@gytiskau1865]

Please upload a full 30 minutes of just the animations, becouse I'm just triping.

[@dorian_md]

I like pretty picture

[@l.v1473]

cant they do that shit to make a normal fucking square map of earth

[@danieljeong961]

Would you be able to make a video about markov chain and stochastic stability????

[@gustavohikarumachimatsumin3989]

Nice video

[@Arturcook]

Was that based on the book Visual Complex Analysis?

[@francomiranda706]

I FINALLY FOUND AN ERROR! At 2:06 you say that gear has an involute profile, but that is a bevel gear which uses octoids, not involutes!

[@mrmountainer5183]

What program did you use to do these animations? I would LOVE to see a video of you showing it!
