Variable Gear Ratio
You know there is another solution .... Dynamically varying gear ratio. The TechnoKats and others have designed the switching gearbox. There is a way to change gear ratio dynamically (without stoping and shifting). All I will say is:
2 motors + 1 planetary gear set = Speed ratio from 0 to 10:1 How can you get 0? That is easy ... both motors spinning but your output shaft is sitting still creating tremendous amounts of torque. Sound impossible? Well, it's not and we will have video to prove it by January. Stay tuned .... -Paul |
