This is absolutely true. I knew an engineer where I worked. I didn't realise how smart he wasn't until he went home one night and didn't realise that he had got on the wrong train. When he suddenly realised, instead of going to the next station, getting off and catching a train back to the starting point and then getting on the right train.... he decided to force the doors open and step out onto the platform as the train was gaining speed. His legs were not working at a pace commensurate with the train speed and when his feet came into contact with the platform he cartwheeled and broke his shoulder. He may have gained an engineering degree but he was devoid of any common sense. No joke, this is a true story.

Weird, I've never found the on/off switch on my wrenches . . . . :-)

[@Daarispieter]

Speaking engineer to engineer: A cyclodal drive is not backlash free by definition, it relies on the accuracy of your production tolerances. In theory, the way the cyclodal drive works, you have a lot of points of contact at any given moment. Take in consideration production tolerances and the concept is heavily overdefined. This can only be made to work by having either compliance or a combination of certain production tolerances and a matching amount of clearance (play, thus backlash). This said, a cyclodal drive is a very interesting gear mechanism, offering very high reduction for the volume it consumes. The inherent low backlash is presumably due to having a high number of tolerance fields overlapping with their respective position errors, effectively lowering your effective clearance. Anyway, great engineering and machining, you are very talented!

[@Losermachine35]

Coolant is your friend, you can use a spray bottle. Or brush with oil. A few things, this type of drive system is going to be loud compared to constantly meshed spiral cut gears. Also the lash in the gears is there for a reason, as the parts are in use they heat up and expand. Having them too tight will make it very tight and create wear. Also the gap keeps oil flinging in between the teeth. The teeth are also hardened so i have not finished your video yet but i dont see any plans for heat treatment.

[@Losermachine35]

Another thing, you have no vent, this will create pressure as it warms up and cools, you need a vent in and gearcase or transmission or the seals will blow out.

[@Losermachine35]

That backlash is nothing to worry about. Get it hot and then retest it bet its tight.

[@jb76489]

ahh yess the casual cameo of one of my favorite machinists is top tier, also that lathe crash made my soul jump

[@bpark10001]

There is another type of cycloidal reduction box you can make that is easier to get backlash-free & easier to fabricate because all the critical machining is groove into planer disk surface. The engagement is axial, not radial. The "rollers" are ball bearings acting between 2 grooved disks. Because of the axial arrangement, backlash can be taken up to compensate for wear or fabrication. 2 facing disks have cycloidal track machined into them: one hypocycloidal, the other epicycloidal. Ball bearings roll between them, held under axial compression. 2 stacked assemblies are used to remove the orbital motion & the difference between the 2 ratios permits large ratios with low lobe counts. A central crank forces orbital motion (same as for drive you have).

[@Nedw]

Do you have a link or keywords to find out more about that design of cycloidal reduction box?

[@bpark10001]

@@Nedw Web search gets nothing (I tried "AXIAL cycloidal gearbox). The search latches on "cycloidal" & ignores "axial". I found about this in old optical catalog (for fine motion of optics without backlash). The benefit of this scheme is the ease of making if you have manual lathe & CNC milling machine. All of the "non-circular" elements are machined on a plane surface (simple cycloidal groove that ball bearings roll in). Calculating the CNC files is simple. It is the superposition of 2 circular motions: one is once around, & the other is multiple times around. One plate has path where the 2 rotations are the same direction (makes cycloid) & the other opposite rotations (makes hypocycloid). The (larger) radius of the once-around rotation & the (smaller) radius of the multiple-times around rotations are the same on the 2 mating surfaces. You need 3 plates (2 surfece-sets) total. The center plate is forced to orbit by eccentric. The ratio between plate 1 & plate 2 is different than that between 2 & 3 & in the opposite direction. For example, if ratio 1 is 15:1 & ratio 2 is 16:1 (reversed), the total ratio of 240:1. I do have CAD files of one I made experimentally. If you have place where I can send them, I offer them for you to look at.

[@RobCalhounPGH]

Ironically, when I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was using ball bearings instead of rollers.

we usually do bore the bearing housing almost the same as bearing's outer ring. also we don't apply loctite to the bearing's outer ring, but on the housing itself. finally, we insert the bearing to the housing by right after dipping the bearing into dry ice. helps us achieve a really tight fight between the bearing housing and the outer ring, works really well with applications where you also expect thrust in the axial direction.

[@flintcoat2596]

A little something I learned 50+ years ago in school, but have never used. If reamed holes are slightly to small, offset reamer axis slightly, and, no, I don't remember how slightly, to make the reamed hole a bit larger. I hope this actually works, as I have not personally used this technique in my over 50 years of machining. CNC has changed what can be easily machined so much.

the time you spent making this video is appreciated

[@drd1924]

My goodness, that is a monumental project, for someone whose not an engineer. You got balls

[@bravelyHomoSapien]

17:49 i appreciate your effort with including your lawn mower and LONG grass. Easily missed by your average punter but a true Easter egg😊

[@HPRaceDevelopment]

the chips on the feet followed by the part being too long had me laughing so hard. So good.

when someone has complete proficiency at both machining and commercial video writing & editing...the public wins.

[@ewanfinlayson3520]

its nice to see someone tap holes with a hand tap and not just sticking it in an electric drill.

[@playitlive]

Awesome how positive you are thru all the hardship, a thing to adore

[@TheRiverHouseGetsVeryCold]

Like so many others, I didn’t know about PCBWays machining services. Best product placement I’ve seen in a LOOOOONG time.

17:44 Pro tip for unboxing large heavy things- 1. Flip box over so bottom is facing up. 2. Cut tape, and open up box. 3. Carefully roll opened box over so the bottom is facing down again. 4. Lift box off large heavy thing.

Or, have a friend who says "WTF have you bought _now_??" and helps you anyway.

Bro how you did that animation or design on 0:24 what software you use …please if anyone knows answer me

[@COMATRON.]

dope video. whats the music at 06:30 onwards (beat only stuff)?

[@jamesross1003]

Man, I love your dry humor. Most will not get it unless they have ran into similar issues with projects. My muse is more along the lines of experimental electronic component builds(for example working on an experimental TEG that is entirely printable, it's very touchy. Junction points as small as 1 mil (mil as the measurement mil and not millimeters. Average human hair is 1 mil.) and up to 5 mil. Graphite, graphene, and conductive inks ranging from nickel to gold. Sensitive enough to use sun light to generate. I currently have to draw them out by hand for test models until I get the measurements within a working tolerance. Tedious does not even begin to describe it.), so even though I do not know many of the ins and outs of machining I certainly feel your pain. Keep it up, you are making great progress! Looking forward to further videos like this. You earned a subscriber.

I didn't understand a single one of the technical terms he used... yet here I am watching the video to the end. Also that man should be a voice actor.

[@UyeGaming]

Not only am I impressed with your project, I'm super impressed by your video edits, story telling and sound design! Great video!

[@beargibson3100]

I've rebuilt a few of those cyclo drives at an old electric motor shop I worked at years ago. Love the video. a laugh around every cut scene.

[@AllThingsMech]

Between the ridiculous [not] engineering that went into this, the soldering iron mic, and the fact that you sent your first attempt all the way to IM for the box of shame...I'm subbing. First rate all the way. Well done, man.

[@realdenzity2144]

Love the example of the lathe spinning out and stopping from your tool. First time seeing someone else show that so people understand the difficulty of using these haha
