Yike! No, we aren't *that* brave. We want to a make a gear box to gear the Chiphua up to 20,000 rpm. The output of this is tied to the output shaft of the drill motor (with a regular gear, on the front) in a 1:1 ratio. Another gear, of the same size as the other two, is put on the same chain. The shaft this sits on goes to the transmission. Of course... if we go with the two-transmission idea, it is the same thing, save for the gears not all connecting until *after* the transmissions. Hrm... that sounded kind of confusing. I wish I knew the CAD programs better so I could draw it up. But I hope that was able to clear it up some?

ALSO: I was talking to Ken Leung about this and he warned me that there would be a lot of energy loss... I'm wondering: How bad would it be (somthing I'd have to find out by experementation?).

If anyone else has cool ideas on how to get all four motors to play nicely in a flexable design, I'm *very* intrested!
