Turning a Googol to 1 gearbox from the other side!?

What would happen!? I got this question like a thousand times See my other video of how it actually works. Only the 3th gear is still possible to turn by hand after that friction takes over. About the work: On march 1 2020 14:52 I was exactly 1 billion seconds old. To celebrate I build this machine that visualizes the number googol. That’s a 1 with a hundred zeros. A number that’s bigger than the atoms in the known universe. This machine has a gear reduction of 1 to 10 a hundred times. In order to get the last gear to turn once you’ll need to spin the first one a google amount around. Or better said you’ll need more energy than the entire known universe has to do that. That boggles my mind. ⁣ The version in the video is a prototype and cannot run for to long BUT I’m making a version that could run for years/decades. If you are interested don’t hesitate to contact me via email. Follow me on instagram for more: ⁣ This work is totally inspired by the work of Arthur Ganson. Machine in concrete.
