This brilliant invention has been around since Archimedes. It remains a valuable mechanism for mechanical power transmission. We have a look at a workhorse of industry for the past two centuries, the Radicon speed reducer. I'll also have a stab at explaining multi start threads and why they are simply brilliant! ✪► www.etsy.com/ca/listing/464202928/one-rule-to-ruler-them-all-cheeky-jokes ◄✪

    I was told by a very wise man, don't use foul/dirty words, it just makes you seem unintelligent!
  • @MoparMatt426
    I would love to see you narrate an episode of How it's Made.

    70% jargon 10% sexual innuendos and 20% absolutely loving the enthusiasm. Earned my subscription!

    I work in the health industry. I have no idea what any of this stuff does or how they work. Yet, for some reason, I just can't get enough of AVE'S videos. They're just too damn skookum!
  • @gremlicious
    "tweak it off to one side just enough to squeak it in there when she's not looking" I gain a new expression to use in my daily life with every video you make. Bless your Canuckistanian soul.

    AvE, thanks for another great vid, I work for a company who sells and services "industrial leggo" Service factor; is dependent on your input power and speed, usually you will match up the speed and shaft size and work backwards on what the customer needs then calculate the service factor afterwards (they can advertise service factors if you buy a motor at the same time but this is rare) Anti run back/overdriving Worm boxes can be overdriven/back driven. this will depend on the ratio of the box, often you will see this in low ratio units like 5.5:1, 7:1 on the larger worm boxes even a 40:1 can be back-driven. feel free to tell me to F**k my hat but just thought people may want to know, also, just some free info, that box you have is a clone from the manufacturer called Motovario, another company based in the pasta benders land known as Italy. thanks again for all your vid's muck appriciated

    If anyone gets confused regarding multiple start threads, just take a look at the cap on a plastic soda bottle. Just drink beers and stare at it until it clicks. Your world will never be the same! Edit - Of course I look at the one on my better 3/4's desk and it's single thread.... Might have to shop a-round or buy some silver bullets.
  • @pileggitech
    I love the level of detail you you present for simple mechanics. The part where you twisted the three wires onto the metal shaft was very helpful.
  • @hoobietoobie
    "Essentially service factor is shorthand for skookumness" I love it
  • @TheMcal9909
    I learnt how these worked as a child playing with Lego Technics. Happy days..
  • @GGL171
    "Now this is what they call a book" What can I say, you teach us something new in every vidjeo !
  • @larsonfam3861
    I love when the shaft on my worm drive gets throated, especially when she's hourglass! ;)
  • @shellisturbo
    Would love to see a video explaining the components on a board, I work on boilers and am fascinated in what each and every component does! Your video's feed the inner geek! Thanks for taking the time to make them :)
  • I've been in industrial maintenance for 19 years and I watch your videos all the time. This one has to be my favorite. Thanks!
  • @Andy-jj6yg
    Most informative hand model channel on YouTube, in my opinion. Thanks for what you do!
  • Is that the pencil from the "recharging a smell phone w/ a car battery" vid?
  • @devjock
    Tony builds a rotary weld table, AvE takes the parts apart, and the universe is in perfect balance. Thanks for sharing dude, awesome explanation, and definitely a Eureka on that thread phasing analogy. That clicked instantly for me!
