I could stare at the sewing machine one for an hour and still not be able to wrap my brain around it.

I use the same science when I'm running around someone shooting them in games. Nice.

+1 for the Geneva gear
CoreoBroomstick
I hate to be a downer, but as a mechanical engineer: the Geneva is pretty, radials engines are nice, but not much of this phases me anymore.

What are we making with the dies and the pre and main compression rolls?
Joe192
I feel a bit turned on by this... my circuit is complete.

The first .gif could be used for a clock, if it were sped up...
al7air
It's called a Geneva Drive and is used in analog film projectors to transport the film reel past the lamp one frame at a time. (1/2)
al7air
You can also find it in a clock, though not for moving the dials but to limit the spring on wind up watches. (2/2)

I would like to know what the forth one is. Well all of them acctualy but mostly the fourth one.
postwavecore
I believe it's pills, or some other tablet-like product. Looks like it's extruding some material and then pressing it into discs.

So much cool science/math. To the frontpage with you sir!

I always wanted to understand how a sewing machine actually did that!
tooomanysteves
Ditto!
emertonom
Yeah, I love that. The bobbin passes the second skein of thread THROUGH every stitch! That's how they get interleaved! So clever!
BaconandHobbes
This really isn't science. It's more engineering and math.
vanishplusxzone
You don't understand. Everything is science on the internet.
chaoswolf1982
except for the porn and the cute animal pictures. Science, videos of people fucking, and adorable kittens. Welcome to the Internet.
vanishplusxzone
Everyone seems to want the porn for science. But I'll give you the cute animals as not science.
chaoswolf1982
Better than wanting the cute animals for porn.

How to make pills

Twas I thought...

It was only looking at it for a while, and then remembering the second bobbin of thread, that I finally got it! Simple, effective, and cool!

I don't even know what half of these are.

I like the Pi gif
AngelaClark
Yeah it reminds me of a deal with it or upvote GIF. But it's Pi, so that makes it better.
TheHappyCanadian
mmmmm......pi
OneOfThoseKnights
it's just like wha'BAM - PI
magesinger
Knew that's where the number was, didn't know why til now. Thanks
nation543
pi is not an equation. it's a spot in the very epicenter (like a balloon) where it goes in.
MorticianGuy
it reminded me of a deal with it gif...
sandibebop
You know what, OP? It is too damn early in the morning for me to feel this stupid -___- The last one... I still don't get how it works...
festivebeethoven
It doesn't really represent pi. In unit circle (radius = 1), the circumference is 2pi, not pi (r=.5). Gif is correct, but is misleading.
TheGreatMizuti
My favorite is the tesseract. Always.
ronnomatic
but it doesn't say what the numbers represent!

Is the 14th one down a wankel engine??

Yup :)
justanotheroneofthosegenericlongusernames
I don't even care how nerdy it is that I found that fascinating
swefur
It's not entirely correct though. The spark plugs doesn't ignite at the same time, the lower one ignites a fraction of a second earlier.
OneOfThoseKnights
TIL how a rotary engine works :D
JimmyLipp
An engine that should be the future. They last forever.
OneOfThoseKnights
Thanks Edison >:0
howlongcanimakethisusername
love my rx8!
Whopperhead
I think you're referring to a different photo, the rx8 has a Wankel Engine, it's pictured directly after the traditional rotary engine.
howlongcanimakethisusername
no... i got the right one kthx
Whopperhead
I was basing my comment JimmyLipp's comment, because I was under the impression that Wankel engines are short-lived. But I did a little(1/2)
Whopperhead
more research and I am in fact in the wrong. My bad. (2/2)

Vernier Calipers, one of the most useful tools for quick measures.
TheAllSingingAllDancingCrapOfTheWorld
Screw that, digital calipers for the win!
thisisexceptionablyunacceptable
But as my CO's have said on numerous occasions, what if the readout breaks? (You use the spare...)
bradleymobadly
I totally couldn't understand the .07 part. I watched it like 20 times. Could you explain?
thisisexceptionablyunacceptable
To put it simply, the 2.4 comes from it being in between 2.4 and 2.5. Then on the bottom scale, the first line that lines up with a line 1/2
thisisexceptionablyunacceptable
on the top scale shows you the hundredths of a cm. It's usually hard to distinguish so most workshops will have a magnifying glass 2/2

Mother of god.... I never knew they could do that!
bradleymobadly
You, my friend, are a legend
thisisexceptionablyunacceptable
Hopefully it makes enough sense. But as the other commenter on the comment said, digital ones are rather more useful.
bradleymobadly
That's what I use, but I was curious as to how you use the 'analog' version
