And I thought I'd share some porn with you.

My geer is pretty complicated wbu?

The 1st has no link between the gears and the bent rods that slide above. They could have if there were gears or diffs under the triangles.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

^The gear is fictional. In a real model the rods and upper triangle would be rotating with the bottom triangle and hitting other triangles'

Slippery not sticky

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I think the second image would be sufficiently messy to meet that criteria.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The second ones pretty strange, mainly because those two inner wheels would get stuck and the whole mechanism would break at some point

'Engineering student'. As an actual engineering student, this'd cover about 0.001% of what you see. Also, 1/2

I saw this in all of 1 class in undergrad, then quickly forgot it once the upper division classes came up:/

The first one looks extremely inefficient, nothing to excite true engineers

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

i don't buy the first one. i see nothing that would keep the points oriented away from the center

10 years ago | Likes 50 Dislikes 2

The teeth on the gears?

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 5

I was thinking the same thing. They'd turn with their triangle bases. If their center pipes were fixed to an outer wall, I could see it.

10 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

The outer points also spin for no apparent reason.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

also how do the other triangles rotate, the L shaped members seem to move magically up and down.

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

They aren't fixed on their ends, they pass through the triangular plates and slide. The same is true on the outward facing plates.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yay, I'll bump this! That mechanism is used in right angle tools that run at low speeds. There is a component removed from the system.

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I believe it's the stationary horizontal bars that provide a high enough moment of inertia such than in an ideal system the plates (1/2)

10 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 4

rotate rather than the entire assemblies. I think. (2/2)

10 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 2

It would be centrifugal acceleration vs friction so you'd never see it so perfectly oriented. The mechanism is underconstrained.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

The second one is wrong. The gearing teeth don't match up.

10 years ago | Likes 92 Dislikes 33

Actually, I feel like they are, because of the angle of the middles teeth, and the point of view, makes it appear like it's not matching up.

10 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 1

Was going to say the exact same thing. The worm gear is fine. Shitty short non loop gif tho

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It actually is correct, even though it doesn't seem like it is.

10 years ago | Likes 41 Dislikes 3

I think it would "work" technically, but not practically. Looks like a lot of added friction on those teeth. Would wear fast.

As a mechanica engineer, it's fine. They match up.

It's a helical gear. I use a similar design on my 3d printer extruder mechanism

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's cromulent. The gears are helical, so the are sliding diagonally as the wheels turn.

Sit down, have a joint, and watch the second one for a while and you will see that the teeth do indeed match up.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That second one looks absolutely pointless. It pleases me. I must have it.

10 years ago | Likes 719 Dislikes 7

My sentiments exactly.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

you are changin a rotative movement in his perpendicular axe (i can't use exact english words for describe it better). It's not so pointless

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Exactly. With the same words and everything.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The second one is basically the same principle as the gears that turn the wheels of your car...

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Only if it's an automatic, and the mechanism is flawed anyway - the left ring gear would not turn in that situation and clips the right.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Drive shaft in the lower right. Steady change step out gear (on an angle!) on the upper left.

Nah it revolutionizes the bike chain.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The first one I "might" see a point to because of how each rod lands on a specific spot, regardless of which mechanism it's on. 2nd one?

10 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Aye, could be used in an industrial / manufacturing manor.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The second one has the surface of the teeth on the small ones sliding relative to each other. You cant do that lol

10 years ago | Likes 29 Dislikes 0

Of course you can. Spiral bevel gear for example. Or a worm gear.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Well, you *can* as long as you don't care about longevity, lol

10 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

yeah, it works as a cool desktop model, but has no engineer would apply it to anything lol

10 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Exactly

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Not with that attitude you can't! Realistically though, I think the tooth patterns could be changed to make it work without sliding.

10 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

It would be a ring and pinion gear set up, but you would end up with a different location on the second gear

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Oh yeah, easily done as a ring and pinion setup, but I think it might be possible to stick with the setup and make it work with a worm

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The issue with that is you would have to have two helical gears attached via the worm gear, and you can't drive a worm with a helical gear.
