Go to Post Not every team can start 200 teams in Canada or Hawaii because they are located in relatively dense region of teams already. This doesn't mean they can't impact their local and surrounding areas. This is where you have to be creative. - tim-tim [more]

What about a differential? Except a backwards one. Say, take a standard diff, two output shafts (the axle) and one input shaft (or gear, from the engine/transmission)

Except here, you power one of the output shafts with the drill, and the other with the chip.

So, as long as they spin the same direction, you get power out of both of them, and you don't need them to spin at the same speed or anything. you could even turn one off completely, and the thing would still turn.

I think this idea is worth looking into. you yessssss, I do indeed. The more I hink about this he more wonderful it sounds. I will post more after school (and after I've thought about it some more and maybe created some prelim drawings. )


This could be a winner, folks.


with this, you could get power from both motors, each going at their respective optimal speed . . . no need to use two motors only to use one at a time, you know?

tytus was(is?) working on a gearbox using a differential, and there are already a few threads dedicated to discussing its advantages and drawbacks, located here, here, and here.
