Re: pic: 6 speed?? Great in theory - lets see how it works!
ehh. looks awesome but i dont really understand it.... im guessing the pink part is the 'shifter' and the blue and red are different ratioed gears? but whats meshing with what? awsome how you got it so compact!. very nice how your drill and cim are so close... can you get a close shot of the gearing there?
and one point youd probably want to notice... the drill motor.. IF it burns out, its gonna be hard to access.. prolly want to widen that hole behind it a bit more...
and how are you mounting the drill?
and as in how to get 6 positions, ive been thinking a ratchet design maybe. one in out stroke of a piston moves the ratchet one "ratch?" ... so as like in a sequential.... you wont be able to skip through gears, but its definitly doable even if it may be quite heavy too. to go the other direction through the gears, maybe another ratchet/piston thing going in the other direction...(think grandfather clock)
