If you turn the final gear at 1mm/s, the first gear will move at 814365469 times the speed of light, however the energy needed to get the first gear up to 0.12 picometers/second (assume no friction) would be about 1.12*1015 Joules or 1.5 Hiroshima nukes."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
