    JF, i came to you as a lost puppy, now 2 or 3 years later, I AM THE MOSTEST MASTEREST ELEKTRUCIAN EVER!!! Okay, maybe I overstated that a but but it was because of your kind words through PM and inspirational videos that, from brain picking of my most learned ac techs and electrician friends, I suddenly have been tasked with some high profile single to 3 phase conversion solutions and being called on some CRAZY induction motor repair and implementations of VFD static conversion, efficency increases through complex capicitor math and I have learned far more than I ever thought possible!

For example, when I started with micro controllers, the minimum cost of entry was about $50,000 US. That's in 1980's dollars!!

      There's an awesome presentation from an nvidia fellow that happened at the recent gtc. It's about using agnostic data models using videos of things in motion to train a general control model for adaptive robotic movement. The mechanical side is way farther ahead than the software governing the motion for whatever task the robot may be put to use for. Like bipedal robots and a general kinematic model where the software will be aware of the most most natural movement for the dof, sensors, and such inherently without direct human intervention. Note that I do not call this ai. Llm and large data models have yet to earn the name that everyone associates with artificial intelligence. Large data models use simple mathematics backed by compute power to basically play a fast game of connect the dots for whatever task the models are built for.
      Agi is very, very far away. Kinda like how rasterization it's a cheaters way of making graphics look pleasant in real time. Ray tracing in games looks cool but it's a bolted on technology crippled by lack of real-time compute power and real power draw. 2 light bounces for an aggregated group of similar triangles is far from what can be done in offline rendering where it takes hours for super computers to render a single frame of woody's head (in toy story 3 for example) in a closeup with the bokeh effect around him. Ts3 was the first cg movie to use light as the governing principal for how everything looks which is why I chose it.

    Gears and levers are like magic. I was digging fencepost holes recently and had to try and get through some very dense material. After first attempting to apply greater force to marginal improvement, I realized I should instead use leverage instead. Simply shoving the spike in and then using the length of the metal pole (8' long or so) I was able to greatly improve my effort to output (work) ratio :)

    I made a pendulum clock, but I cut the gears by hand on a band saw. Clock works great. Also my '65 Chevy Corvair has the 90 degree bend in the fan belt. Works fine if you have the correct tension, it needs to be kind of loose when the engine is cold. Alway enjoy the engineering stuff.

    Hey Jeremy! Thank you so much! As a non-engineering background hobbyist, some of the existing resources already out there have been difficult to understand so I sincerely appreciate the simpler language you’ve used to explain gears. If you ever consider making a follow-up to this video, could I ask you to cover linear to rotational transducers and vice-versa covering the various tradeoffs you make and what you gain from using each? Things like the rack-and-pinion, scotch yoke, crankshaft and other types that aren’t necessarily gears, such as a cable spool (I also remember one that was this star shaped thing with four circular grooves to convert a slow rotation into back-and-forth linear. Basically an improvement on the idea of a scotch yoke)

    I have always loved gears! I have had so many RC cars throughout the years, go karts, mini bikes, dirt bikes, quads so I learned a lot about ratios at a young age. So I go into machines about ten years ago and bought my first south bend lathe that was missing 12 or 13 gears or something like that. I bought a Bridgeport a short time after that then found out I can make gears at home just by buying a $320 indexer from Amazon and the cutters for another 125 so I did it. I actually made a full set of gears. Wait I’m sorry, I made my first gears on my drill press lol. They came out perfect!! I have since sold that lathe and bought a 1980’s Clausing in bran new condition almost. It has absolutely no wear at all. Anyway gears are awesome and so are the machines that make them. I love it? Lmk if you ever need any spur gears made

    Very good video! One thing you might include around 19:30 with the downsides of the helical gear is that it also increases the amount of heat generated, which will also rob some of the power from the system. While it's a minor thing, it's still important, and you're always on top of stuff.

    Unless my understanding is flawed, I think that you meant to say that the diametral pitch must match for gears to mesh. If the pitch diameter is the same, you're stuck with a 1:1 gear ratio. I'm grateful for your explanation of strain wave drives in another video. Just a few years ago, these were a dark art, and almost impossible to find information on.

    This is a really useful overview, thank you. It invites many re-watches. With my optics background, I tend to overlook the mechanical side of daily technology. It's fascinating.

    This is better Jeremy... not many of has can afford or even have need for a robot or CnC Machine...
    More shows on the meat of mechanics is much more interesting to us wannabe engineers. I learned a lot from this one and the ones you did on motors was also interesting.

    Something to note about bevel gears and hypoid gears is that they are slightly different for two reasons: 1) the tooth profile, which you mentioned, but also 2) their shafts are perpendicular but do not intersect.
    If you want perpendicular, intersecting shaft axises but better transmission than straight tooth bevel gears, you start looking at spiral bevel gears. These tend to be pricier as well since they are harder to make.
    Additionally, unless I am wrong, a hypoid gearset doesn't necessarily have to have perpendicular shafts. They can be designed so that the input is at some specified angle other than 90deg. I know this gear type exists but I am not sure if they have a special name or not.

    21:30 Another strategy I've used to avoid backlash in positioning is to change where you measure the movement. If you put the movement sensor on the final output, even if theres backlash the movement wont be registered until the actual output moves. I've used this on a satellite dish positioning system to allow the drive gears to slip in case it crashes into itself. I can still tell the actual position by measuring the movement of the mast instead of the motor's movement, even though the motor is spinning away and slipping.
