Gearios
The cereal for budding engineers | |
HEY KIDS! New Gearios will allow you to
make the machines of your dreams!
Winch the cat off the floor, while you eat
your breakfast... Make a pump that will
pump milk up a straw and squirt it into
your mouth... amaze your Mum.
New Gearios are just like Cheerios but
they have toothed
cogs in varying sizes
to allow you to make a limited slip
differential for your RC car.
When you get tired of playing with them,
just brush off the cat hair, add milk and
eat.

Mum, I poured milk on my cereal but it won't synchro! |
|
| |
with 250% of the RDA of Iron. |
|
| |
Just like little cogs, only crunchy! |
|

KRUSTY O's "Free Inside! One Jagged Metal Krusty-O!" |

Kewl! Glad to see you're back on form, good buddy. |
|
| |
<Mom to UB> Try skim milk as a friction modifier. |
|
| |
The cereal could hoist the milk to the top and pour it on itself. |
|
| |
//Simple gear-ratio play sets are doable. RC car LSD is not// |
|

This is the HB, where anything that stays within the laws of thermodynamics and dosen't require magic is possible if you throw enough time and money at it. |
|
| |
With well-formed crown gears and some whipped cream I could turn you out a Ferguson torque sensing differential, if you want. |
|
| |
On form, [DC]? D'ya think? I just counted my output and I've posted 15 ideas this week. Surprised myself. |
|
| |
All that pent-up something or other. |
|
| |
Yay for [bz].
"And all that whining...I do wish you'd stop eating those straight cut Gearios." |
|
| |
I can see working gears easily being made with cookies of the sort that are pressed in to molds. "Teddy Grahams" like I had the other day seem to hold a lot of detail and shape. |
|
| |
Cereal might be tougher as most of it seems to be puffy and slightly irregular. I assume Cheerios puff and are at least partially cooked by the pressure applied during an extrusion process that creates their shape. |
|
| |
There's some helicals in there... |
|
| |
Mom, I had a perpetual motion machine right here and Stevie ate it! Ma-am! |
|
| |
hey zeus! those are some mighty fine gears me dear! |
|
| |
HEY KIDS! This month only... 2 only worm spline gears and two outsize worm drive bevel gears in every packet! |
|
| |
BTW, thanks [bris]. Your illo is extraordinary, as usual. |
