How does a 2x2 Rubik's Cube work?
Фильм және анимация
The 2x2 Rubik's Cube has an interesting mechanism on the inside. Let's see how it works!

This video has been dubbed into a few different languages. You can change the audio track language in the Settings menu.
The cube works by a sphere in the very center that has several curved panels coming off it. This sphere is attached to one of the corner pieces. The other seven corner pieces have plastic extending outwards that slide in between the curved panels on the sphere. There are several variations of the 2x2 mechanism - your 2x2 cube might have a different mechanism.

Loved the video! I'm looking at my pile of 2x2s right now and a lot of them are different from what you showed (and also different from each other) but I've definitely seen the ball core mechanism in 2x2s before. A common mechanism used today is where it's essentially a 3x3 cube but the edge pieces are TINY and hidden underneath the corner pieces, so you can only see the corners. I think it makes the cube more stable for speedsolving, although I'm not sure of the reason exactly.

The 2x2 cube mechanism is more interesting than the 3x3's tbh. Also i like how the gears from the pull-back toy car were in the 1x1 cube 😃
So how is it assembled without breaking the tabs?

This should be the only channel on KZread, with the videos playing on repeat all day.
Modern 2x2s are actually very similar to 3x3 but with the centers and edges smaller and inside the cube
Make a video about the speedcube 2x2 mechanism! The one with the tiny 3x3 inside (If you want to)
As a speedcuber myself, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It's an amazing and high quality animation to give people a good perspective on how a 2x2 Rubik's brand cube would work. Perhaps one day you'll be able to make one of these on a 1x1, I'm sure you're aware of its complexity and advanced structure; however, it is something very hard to understand on a human level. Amazing job as always Jared, I recommend you all sub with that notif bell on if u know what I'm sayin'
Hello I am a speedcuber. This is the mechanism of the Rubik's 2x2. It has a weird design. Speedcube 2x2s have very different designs. Thanks for making the video I really enjoyed it.

actually this mechanism is an old 2x2. A modern 2x2 is like a 3x3 mechanism and have hidden edge pieces. The hidden edge pieces are tabs which holds the corners. Oh yeah, there is also a center but it is under the whole structure Edit: I just realised jperm posted the comment...
