re: The Gear Wars
@Rosemary Shift dogs and synchronizers on the shaft.
The whole thing is always engaged, it just changes which gear is the final drive.
That way when you shift gears, you don't have to Double-clutch to bring another gearset up to speed.
The Gear Wars
@Rosemary Okay funny you should mention that, Epicyclic assemblies were my Specialty in school.
Okay, so the cool thing about a planetary gearbox is that you can send input power to the Sun gear, and spin the planetary carrier, and get a certain specific reduction. Arrest that and allow the Annulus to spin, and you get a different reduction. And you can link straight thru to give direct output.
On top of that you can stack multiple epicyclic gearsets and shift back and forth by engaging and disengaging shift dogs between the gearsets.
If you wanna see a miniature example, Cordless Drills use planetary reduction. It also spreads the load out across multiple gear teeth, reduces backlash and makes for a compact, coaxial package.
And I can't remember the Exact multiplier but it's something like 1.81* the gear rate between the sun gear and annulus, if you're taking the torque off at the planetary carrier. Oh, and input and output are always the same direction no matter how many reduction steps.
