Re: pic: 6 speed?? Great in theory - lets see how it works!

Big Guy,

Wow... this is waaay cool. I have a couple of thoughts and suggestions:
  • I am wondering how your 6 different ratio gears are meshing. Those cylindrical things with the radial slots are neat, but I have no clue how they work. I guess you can just show us in March.
  • 6 speeds? Who is driving this thing, Michael Schumacher? Again, you have some devious plan here with these 6 speeds. Just let us know in March.
  • The top left shaft, outside of your drill motor can go away. You can also put a big notch in that transparent plate so you can get at your drill (or whatever motor that will be) motor. This will help with wiring, motor removal, and weight reduction.
  • Your shifter device has 1 hex shaft and 2 round shafts guiding it. You only need 2 shafts total. Getting rid of one of the 2 round shafts may make it better, depending on how this mechanism interfaces with the hex shaft. Again, there are some things here that I don't understand with how these "gears" are meshing and how this hex shaft interfaces with these "gears".

It is great to see this sort of design, keep up the great work.

Andy B.
