I saw a neat one where they put the last gear in a block of cement while still spinning the first one quite fast.

I saw a neat one where they put the last gear in a block of cement while still spinning the first one quite fast.
- Chris2048 1y agoIs the idea that it never moves, or that the cement will degrade by the time it does?
- Piskvorrr 1y agoIt moves slowly enough that the wheel will approximately never turn enough to generate significant torque.
- Doxin 1y agoI think the artist put it as "and then the last gear turns so slowly it doesn't really matter, so I cast it in concrete." Assuming we're talking about Arthur Gansons "Machine with concrete"[0] of course. I quite like how a lot of his work seems to have a punchline to it.
