&quot;&quot;&quot;1.0342 x 10^100 to 1<p>The ratio is almost exactly the size of a googol, which is 10^100.&quot;&quot;&quot;<p>Somehow being off by 341796308487334800992832804222885104773611498499997696000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 feels like it&#x27;s not... that close.

Plastics take anywhere from 20 to 500 years to decompose ...<p>Also the wear on the first gears will be tremendous.<p>This design will not work.
