hey all you cool cats I've got a super secret private Discord you can gain access to by joining the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW5i5rLbDiu9RhCEXj4BAZw/join

come tell me how bad my mechanical engineering "skills" are

@AVNBbirdnoises

This is like I Did A Thing's less Australian cousin, I feel like I've made a major discovery, thank you algorithm

@justin.s

Only an engineer could go through all this trouble to avoid making a box to stand on

> has power supply with current limiting 
> blows up all the motors instead of turning it on

died laughing, banger video

@ColinRichardson

I really love how amp limiting the power supply has not been invented.

@lucasjacobson6119

Crazy quality for such a small channel. No doubt it'll blow up soon.

@KendricEvans

I subscribed, joined and sent this solely because of the joke about friction

@davecgriffith

Dad jokes, visual gags, silly nicknames and mispronunciations, and a video concept that's totally absurd on the face of it?
30 seconds in and I've subscribed. Lets gooo!

@vipe_toutonche

you have really done incredible work here just to avoid putting in a switch

@pianopete341

Edge of a napkin calculation 😂 thanks, I wanted to spray my coffee everyday

@mikejurkowski

The amount of jokes you pack into a short period is incredible. Bo Buildem.

1:38 Fun tip! If you ever need to figure out how fast a spindle, wheel or other rotating object is spinning, attach something to it like the piece of tape you have there, then let that tape smack against something else with every rotation, like maybe your ruler. If the spindle is spinning fast enough, the beating of the tape against the ruler will produce a tone. You can then use a tuner (or tuner app)to get the frequency of the tone, which translates directly into rpm.

It's not the most accurate form of measurement, obviously, and it doesn't always work. If your motor is weak enough and your "tape" (or playing card or whatever) is big enough, air resistance might slow your motor significantly. If your motor produces a tone in and of itself, your tuner might pick up on this instead of the beating of the measurement "tape." And if your motor spins too slowly, you'll get a pitch well below human hearing and below what the tuner is designed to measure.

Now, in the case of a common motor like this, the datasheet was definitely the right call :)

6:02 "Solid?" "Metal Gears?" (Invisible intensifies)

@drdarwinator

Big S (0:14) is now the way I will refer to Shakespeare. Thank you.  Also, I love this unhinged content, 10/10.

@FiniteRespawn

Every single time you post its a mix of comedy gold, and genuine mystery as to what will end up happening in the video. Please youtube blow this channel up.

@bobrossco1793

4x2 just sounds criminal, never have I ever heard someone call a 2x4 that 😂

@shivanshsuri6645

Bruh , limit the current to 2: Amps and use 4v max instead of 5v that you are using , the winding of these motors is delicate it can’t handle 18watts of power that you are providing…. Try 8-10 watts of power, it will work like a charm without burning up

@xstarian5225

The ideas board at 1:09 just killed me lol

@samsawesomeminecraft

so what's missing is you need to scale the gear heft with the force on each gear. So the first gear in the set should be small and light and the last gear in the set should be very bulky.

@Mudan

8:27 can't believe man really said "yowza". Cool build though!
