Dope ass gears n shit. Pretty crazy what you can do with a few simple parts

It is pretty incredible what can be done with these simple objects. Those gifs remind me of a really fun puzzle game on the iTunes app store where you have to fit gears together to make them all run with only a limited amount of gears. I forgot what it's called though, maybe just simply "gears".
 
I saw this before, and it would be fun to make as like a home experiment, but I couldn't help but think why someone put so much effort into this? They don't do anything.
 
These very simplistic models might not do anything, but you can see they are also the structural basis for pretty much all types of assembly lines
 
Yep, and presses and engines and all sorts of shit with many moving parts.

I work in print finishing and our die cutting presses look like a million of these things when you crack em open. All types of gears and cams and shit in there. It's actually pretty fascinating.
 
I love this stuff. It's cool how you can take something so simple, such as a single spinning gear and some metal, to perform all these cool actions. I'm for sure going to have to be inventing stuff as a mechanical or electrical engineer some day. Electronics are a fun thing to mess around with too. Its cool how you can just take a bunch of wire and a power source, and transform it into all sorts of cool things.
 
yup. I am by no means an engineer, I suck at designing things, but I had to take a course on circuits & electronics and I really enjoyed it. Ended up building all kinds of cool things. I got 96% on the final exam, without studying, because I spent so much time playing with breadboards and simulation software. Well, it also was a course that engineers took so they made the exam easy.
