What about analog wristwatches? Dwarven magic

"Technology is magic that works" -Kurt Vonnegut

@@nicks4802 theres a reason they're expensive edit : or atleast the traditionally made ones

If this channel has taught me anything, it's that clockmakers use brass and steel instead of plastic for a good reason.

@@hisyam1664 A big reason they are expensive is that they only work as status symbols, if they are expensive. (And there's no incentive these days to make a cheap mechanical wrist watch. If you want a cheap and good watch, you go with quartz. Or just use the clock functionality that comes with your smartphone.)

Acktuallthy whoisthisgit subscribers too prefer when there's no voice-over 🤓

Can you imagine the riot in the comments if Primitive Technology started doing a voiceover?

its because he used a shitty tts voice after pretty much establishing his channel as a silent channel

The damn tiktok effect 🤢

Based Batter pfp

Aka potential energy

I’m wondering if there could ever be a practical application for it maybe some sort of “mechanical spring” powered cutting device?

@@lenardstarks5891 The French used this mechanic to kill over 10,000 people during the Revolution.

Oh! I didn’t really understand those experiments until I read this, now I see what’s happening there. Thanks!

​@@lenardstarks5891 Kinda late now, but no, this does not make for any practical use. It is highly inconsistant, loses a tremendous portion of the power input to friction, does not deliver any usuable torque on the output and it instantly damages the device, with more rigid parts being destroyed more severely.

I love seeing people compare this to a capacitor cause that was my first thought too

AKA a torsion spring

Interesting..

i strongly aggre

@@RandomArcherPlayer yeah it's a part of his channel now

@Anunoriginaljoke i think he could have done a better job with no voice over because it sounds fake and it is.

Its better this way for easier explanation

The no-voice version has a weird comedic-timing/charm to it. It might be a problem to people who read more slowly though.

;p

He could also do effects with lego driveline angles too, ujoints in and out of phase

In English?

U joints angles need to be set at certain angles otherwise they will cause a vibration. U joints have a quirk that they speed up and slow down twice in a revolution and the angles need to be in a way they cancel each other out

@@CoilB2 ah ok, thank you

Exactly. It broke. That’s how that happened.

Personally I would only enjoy the voice over videos if they were an actual voice, rather than text-to-speech. If the only voice over option is text-to-speech, I'll take the no talking videos for sure.

@@Conorator yea i agree.

Wouldn't call this a voiceover it is text-to-speech afterall

I hate the new lego games because they added voice lines (mainly the marvel games) it really ruins the game hearing voice lines every few minutes the only line my friend and I agreed was funny was a random guy who said "if we cross the street and a main character didn't see us did we really cross the street?" which was an amusing take on the old adverb

most vehicles can actually be clutched in without ever touching the gas pedal. below 4 cylinders, they tend to be choppy, but most cars tend to be able to support themselves in idle up to 2nd gear.

You'd never turn a 1:googol geartrain of any kind with all the torque on earth! Even if you magically could, at not very far into the geartrain you'd be trying to turn gears with a tooth speed over the speed of light. This will give you 'issues'. :)

You can park a manual car without touching the gas pedal.

@@liampope1 even if you managed to magically spin it, not only would the gears be ripped apart from the torque exceeding the material resistance, they would also melt just from the friction. so yeah, reaching near-lightspeed using gears isn't an option.

@@zibingotaeam3716 A long time ago when I was new to driving and experimenting with starting from standstill without gas in my Dad's car, I got it going in second with no gas without too much trouble, then into third and fourth all at only idle. Next experiment, start in fifth from standstill, required some gas, but I got it going, followed shortly by the distinct smell of burning clutch. :)

Mostly due to cost. Sure metal is stronger than plastic if two pieces were identical in shape and size, but it's also slightly more expensive to manufacture, ship, and store. And since it's more expensive to make, the product becomes even more expensive to sell.

@@jessegd6306 metal being more expensive to make and ship makes sense... but not store...

It honestly sounds better here imo

I agree. I hate most TTS voices because of tiktok. There are some REALLY convincing ones but they're either expensive to get a hold of, or you have to design them yourself.

Yeah, literally the only TTS I can stand is talkoid and none of y'all wanna pay for that

@@handlesarecringe957 Neuro-sama's TTS is pretty good too. The VRChat AI called "Celeste" also has an uncannily convincing TTS voice.

Brian tts is definitely a good one

You mean spring ?

Yep..and the fact that u can witness it storing energy is absolute madness

“Physical capacitor” You mean like a rubber band?

Unlike the spring or rubberband analogy, its a much better demonstration of potential. The output can't spin until a threshold tension/charge is reached and then the energy discharges all in one go.

@@yousorooo No, that wouldn't be a rubber band. Capacitors store charge until it reaches a threshold, and can output energy after charging for a short time, but their most used purpose is stabilizing voltage. Think of a faucet that keeps changing how much water is coming out of it, and in this example the capacitor would be a bucket with a hole in the bottom. The water would pour into the bucket at irregular rates, but leave the bucket at a consistent rate.

Thanks for my spambots comment and WhatsApp scammer comments.

Still waiting to see Legos mounted with stronger engines. Some experiments might need much more torque than any Lego-engine can deliver.

It is- but I would love more videos 😫🙏🏼

It’s the elastic energy stored in the slowest gears

It’s a scream bro

@@Eroxallywhale.

They twist the axles to store energy in a miniature version of a torsion bar. When the torsion on one half exceeds the static friction on the other, it starts to move and moves until it dissipates enough energy to match the kinetic friction, at which point it stops again and the process repeats.

I love listening to the raw audio of the mechanics working or breaking. The text to speech just completely ruins the ASMR effect of his videos.

its so monotone that he sounds like a TTS

Yeah I can't stand it, I usually listen to the mechanics work (an ASMR thing) and the Text to speech just kills it. People in the comments say to just mute the video, but if we did that we couldn't hear the mechanics work or break. We can easily read the comments put in the video if we want to without the help of text to speech.

@Cekia Selmi ♋️ no thanks

We know we can store energy in a deformed LEGO gear train. We can experiment to learn how much, and for how long. There will be virtually endless ways to improve the energy density. Sounds like fun.

Your describing the principle behind wind-up springs. The time that the gears keep spinning has more to do with how the tension is released; in the real-time part of the clip, the output spins much faster than the input, even though the mechanical advantage is the same. The total energy that comes out will be less, however, so it won't spin for very long. All of this can be observed in a wind-up music box: It plays music for much longer than you spend winding it, and your sure that there's still some energy left inside when it stops.

I love questions like this. They lead to innovations like wind-up springs.

Yes, id like to see it used with one of those enormous solid steel flywheels.

A hundred cogs each 10:1 would give you a googol ratio. Obviously you would build such a thing out of actual engineering steel rather than a childs toy set, but it certainly is possible.

more like an energy reservoir bc it does not output a consistent torque or angular speed
