I agree no point at all. I had a labourer that could move concrete blocks that fast.

I'm guessing it would take a few millenia just to take up the slack in the gears...

Puts the US debt into perspective - it'd need to do another 7 or 8 turns!!

Pointless, but interesting,
and i wonder what would happen if it was powered the other way round, ie were the concrete block is, was even turned
at one rev per year, the other end would be going at light speed
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Would probably shake itself to bit? Would be quite cool to watch though, but the worm gears wouldnt work

The guy has made one very simple mistake.
He has not labeled the faces of the concrete block. If he goes away and comes back again how is he going to know if its turned at all?

I don't know about the machine but I love this bit,
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I'm sure that's how I reacted when I first saw the machine. I'm still watching it, its nearly as interesting as David Blaine in his
glass box.
