Guy makes a GOOGOL:1 Reduction with Lego Gears. Meaning that the final gear in the machine will turn once every 97 trillion years or so.

Good thing Oldsmobile didn't have access to this in the late 1970s or my Cutlass would have been even slower.

What an amateur
I can make a gear reduction device that will never rotate. 97 trillion years is nothing.

Yeah, I kind of thought the same. Its just cool that he was able to explain such a large ratio using only lego gears.

You could move continents with it if they didn't drift away faster than the geartrain can apply the torque.
