What’s the ratio on this bad boy?
Looking at the diameters of the gears and eyeballing it, approximately 10,000:1
I’m actually not 100% sure because I made it all with salvage gears that I’ve gathered from years of electronics repair. A couple of them I had to glue two together to get the reduction.
I think there are four that are 11:44 (1:4) and four that are 22:44 (1:2)
4x4x4x4x2x2x2 = 4096 turns of the first wheel to make the final wheel turn once.
Again this is an approximation because it’s all salvage, and I didn’t really count teeth except a few times. Also I later attached to the handle and the offset gear there, and there’s a teeth mismatch so I think that’s like 62:50 or something oddball… I’m not counting that.
Screw the math. Count it.
