Re: Interesting speed reducer mechanism

I like the idea but I see a few problems with it

1. The output can only rotate in one direction since it employs one was clutches. As a result one would have to use a trans to reverse the direction for a drive train or the like.

2. In any situation this looks really heavy and really complex. I certainly think it has its aplications but robotics seems iffy.

I would actually really like to get my hands on one of these. I would be really tempted to make one myself if I had the time.
