On a practical level: no, it's not moving at all since all the movement is being absorbed by the slack between the gears.

- StavrosK 6y agoThere's a video of one of these constructions where the last gear is bolted to a wall or something.
- sgerenser 6y agoMight be think of “machine with concrete” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5q-BH-tvxEg https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5q-BH-tvxEg
- StavrosK 6y agoYep, that's exactly it, thanks!
- lumberingjack 6y agoI feel like doing the project in Lagos is going to confuse people but when you put the final gear bedded into concrete that sort of gets the point across
- pwagland 6y agoAnd as per that top voted comment: The question of whether the last gear will break the concrete is moot. The gears themselves will erode away to nothing before they get a chance to apply much torque to the final gear. I think that the same argument can be made to this Lego demo as well ;-)
