Re: Interesting speed reducer mechanism

Definitely interesting...

Although, for robotics applications (not necessarily industrial) the downsides of it definitely outweigh the advantages. However, I can see the benefit of such a device in industry (After using a similar, much larger version for a fixture this summer).

It'd be nice if we had an explanation from an engineer who 100% knows how it works.
