Possible to do multi-speed transmission with v-belt?
We at 617 here have come upon an idea that uses loose v-belts to do a multi-speed transmission (we hope), but i am not sure that it will work. Does anyone see any problems with this? (refer to attached jpg)
hopefully, one belt will be kept tensioned by the 2pulley assembly being pushed downwards far enough to keep friction between the 2 pulleys that the belt is running over, and the other belt (there are two, one for each gear reduction) is kept loose so that it is not affecting the driven speed.
thanks for your input!
