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.

The finished gear ratio:

or 1.0342e100:1
or 1.034 GOOGOL:1
Rotation time for the last gear:

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.
