spork.
I won $500 on a similar bet. I bet someone that his candidate would lose the presidential election. I didn't even care who he picked. I was that certain he'd be wrong. I've only collected $200 so far - it seems republicans are tight on cash.
I was going to say "thank goodness - perhaps even humber has been laid". But I suspect even that didn't work out for you. There are some things even a professional won't do for money.
No you didn't.
No it's not.
No you didn't.
Fast approaching 100 pages of idiocy!
Can I phone a friend?
They are not on a single shaft. Otherwise, they would be more like a universal joint. The direction of an automotive drive shaft of a rear-wheeled car ( have usually two 'Bendix' joints) do not reverse on either side of the joint.
However, the wheels of a differential do, except when there is no differential torque.
I think you need more lube on the shaft.

(1) No. Barney does not have a real phone.
(2) Not if he is a recognised authority on the subject
(3) You do need to, because you are impotent on your own.
I did not quote him. You have no authority whatsoever.
Only if you can do so by sniffing tails.
ETA:
I should remind you that your suggestion is not only a breach of rules (from your self-satisfied point of view) but actually libelous. You would certainly lose that case.

Since we can't extend such a lifeline to humber, we'll have to deny you the use of such an unfair advantage at this time.
Taken to the extreme, they are. Rotate them so they are in a straight line, and suddenly they are a single shaft built in two pieces with an unusual way of fixing them together. BOOM! Not counter-rotating. Put them at a 1deg angle and, according to you, the very nature of what can be achieved by a device being powered through them is altered.
Wow...
Just....
wow......
But that's so easy to see with pictures, Ross. Take a picture of one rear wheel of a car spinning, have someone else take a picture at exactly the same time of the other wheel and compare them. The wheels are counter-rotating, obviously.
Too bad you can't do that isn't it? Then the prop would turn in the same direction.
To solve the conundrum, while maintaining the capacity for different ratios, you need an third 'idler' gear, Captain.
It only matters because the treadmill drives the cart from the wheels. The treadmill is not the equivalent of what it is said to portray. It is a sham, and you fell for it.
It's almost as if I can see a dim light in the far distance at the end of the tunnel - but I suspect that's just humb lighting his farts.
Apparently I have to make 180 videos with the wheels engaged at angles changing in one degree increments. Of course if I thought this would in any way help humber understand, I'd be happy to do it. But I think we all know better.
Absolutely. I think we're all enjoying it.

Hey! It's not my fault humber has no friends.
Folly. If you cross the road, do the cars change direction, or just your perception of them? They remain relatively the same.
How absurd to insist that the torques are not in opposition. That is why the front end of a dragster lifts when accelerated.

You need the smiley to add some charachter to your posts Dan_O
I still want you to justify this. "Then you shouldn't be quoting Arkaein's work without proper attribution."
You are maintainer of the list. So where is it?
The accelerometer is my invention. It galls you to know that.
I imagine there is but one set, spinning in your head repeating "plummeting to Earth is just like zero-g". Now with gravitas...
Translation:- Yes, I can see, but won't admit it.
That zero-g remark is a quote from you. I think that it is easy to see how you would make such blunders when thinking about gears.
Interestingly, as usual, Spork has provided evidence to his disadvantage. (only Dan_O tops him in this regard)
The skate wheels are in parallel, so quite obviously go the same way. That means that when geared, as in the cart, they go the opposite way, unless you thing that all gear combinations are the same.
It does make you wonder why so many posters are unclear regarding the relative direction of the prop and wheels. They see what you don't.

Delusions of grandeur idiocy.
Yes, it's curious that every single person on this thread except you is confused on the simple issue of gear mesh.
