    The issue you noticed on the end is related to a tiny flaw on the design, you should use tapered roller bearings on the ends! There is force being applied axially as well as radially, thus it requires tapered roller bearings instead of just standard radial ball bearings.

      ​@@jasonwhite2028 yes but they have a large nut or snap ring to hold it in place, so it's not the bearing on its own, and it's only in certain cars, possibly just trucks, I believe. The hubs of most cars are just a large straight bearing that gets pressed into the knuckle. While trucks and anything larger has tapered bearings that are made to come apart so you can pack grease into it and then pop it back together and fasten it down

    I don't know if it's useful, but it is hardly unnecessary. It may lead to a more advanced design. Try it with beveled helical gears and increase the gear contact by increasing the length of the gear teeth. You have a rather large gap between the teeth and shaft. More contact may increase stability.

    If you want it to operate smoothly, three things are to take into account :
    1) the distance of each nutation gear to the nutation point depends on several factors such as tha nutation ratio and the difference in tooth count in each gear mesh, if not followed, the gears don't mesh perfectly
    2) 3d printed gears need to be work smoothed by runing them with an abrasive to eliminate surface artifacts
    3) greasing the gears is key in smooth and qiet operation.
    Back to the first point, all herringbone gears have an average contact point wich describes a circle, the center of the fear being the center of this circle. With a nutation angle α, and an offset of a nutation gear from the nutation point (where the oblique and straigt axes cross) δ, and a meshing gear of radius r1 the nutation gear average radius needs to be r1/cos(α) + δ*tan(α),
    if you trace the simple meshing on a piece of paper to find the proper dimensions, you will find this formula with simple trigonometry. On a side note, having the same nutation gears and meshing gears will simplify the design as the nutation gears will bea simetrical to the nutation point

    Nice design. A few thoughts here:
    - Center shaft experiences bending load equal to 2x of gear teeth load (equals to 2 * output torque / gear radius). It's better to make it as stiff as possible
    - Unbalanced moment caused by big gear's nutation can be completely balanced out by two counterweights attached to the central shaft. If made from metal they should fit right between red and yellow gears.

      @@backtoearth1983 Kindly stop with the unwarranted assumptions.
      The point of contact of the center cylinder with the outer plates shifts both axially and radially as the assembly rotates. And the gear extends a finite amount radially.
      It's easier to envision the problem if instead of treating the contact as two crown gears interacting, you unfold it 90 degrees and envision it as two spur gears interacting, where one spur gear has both a non-central axis _and_ said axle isn't square with the gear.
      This results in the contact point shifting both radially and axially. It shifting radially isn't the end of the world - non-circular gears do exist - however, it also shifting axially introduces an additional set of constraints between different planes of the gear. (Normally with a gear of finite width different planes of the gear are mostly independently constrained - see e.g. helical versus herringbone gears: you can effectively independently rotate each plane of the gear and still result in a valid (though potentially hilariously impractical) gear.)
      Non-circular gears are normally already fairly constrained. It is _not_ obvious to me that there exists a solution to the further constrained system, although I'd love to be proven wrong.

  • @Roobotics
    @Roobotics 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +77

    Very interesting and bizarre stuff, I think the biggest shortcoming it has, is that the output is basically getting 'twitched' between gear meshes as a means of moving. So your output side isn't able to deliver a consistent level of torque in a direction. Also I think this means that despite the 40:1 ratio or so, the mechanical advantage is actually lower, each time it steps back it is undoing the mechanical advantage, then the forward stroke has to put it back that much further, so that's a sort of continuous movement ineffeciency. So it's mechanical advantage factor would be measured in the forward-wobble and advancement region only, if that makes sense. Basically it will act like a 40:1, but the input torque used to move it, will take the effort of something more like a 30:1.

      This was my initial impression but actually I don't think this is a fundamental problem of the mechanism, but the tolerances/manufacturing of the part.
      Like, its not like contact is made to force the gear once per per rotation, the contact is made cyclically around every contacting gear tooth in rapid succession.
      I think that there are also ways to optimize the tooth design. Before involute gear tooth, the same (or similar) criticism could be made for simple gears!

      I was thinking the same thing with the engage and disengage being horribly indirect compared to planetary or worm etc, but it also looks like it could be constantly engaged with just a portion of the gear as it wobbles rotating the contact position? Not sure but the vibration alone makes this seem pretty unviable, still cool to learn about

      Maybe. But the real show-stopper is friction. Properly designed gear trains have friction only in the bearings but never on the teeth (rolling motion via evolute geometry). Here, there teeth are sliding into position. Big no-no in engineering and the reason why worm gears wear out so quickly.

      But if you install the right side transmission to be 90 deg out of phase with the left side, that will it switch which side does the pushing. Essentially you can smoothen the output motion by making it so that the push (instead of being in sync) happens twice per rotation instead, right left right left…

But if you picture the circular motion, your suggested offset of 90 degrees or pi/2 is equivalent to the sum of a sine and a cosine, which results in a larger amplitude, which means more axial vibration in both directions. Mathematically, as you know, only a phase shift of 180 degrees or pi will cancel. Here are two examples in Desmos: 'qfcs5camdc' (180 degrees) and 'kkvv0zanus' (90 degrees).

    Similar to a strain wave gearbox, it should have extremely low backlash due to the large number of teeth engaged.

    • @splynncryth
      @splynncryth 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, but this design is much more 3D printer friendly. James Bruton did some experiments with a printable hamonic/strain wave drive but ultimately settled on cycloidal drives for his projects because of issues he had.

      Maybe someone will see a solution to the balance issue other than using a second gearbox and a better system of bearing (or maybe even something like a delrin bushing) might further improve things.

      Unlike strain wave gearing, this only connects at one area, until another mirrored part got added. Very similar mechanism indeed.

    @mishkamcivor409 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Since the input and output are co-axial I think you could make a cool clock design with this, with a 1rpm input that gives you your minute hand with the input shaft going all the way through to the front and then with a design with a 1:60 reduction then the output wraps around the minute hand and gives you the hour hand and the low speed means that the noise and balance is not so much of an issue

  • @r.j.bedore9884
    @r.j.bedore9884 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm sure the angle for the shaft needs to be big enough for the gear teeth to pass by each other as it spins, but reducing this angle as much as possible will reduce the vibrations as well.

  • @alexon2010
    @alexon2010 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

  • @tylerferrusi7652
    @tylerferrusi7652 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Maybe good for solar panel tracking because of the slow movement required. Could probably have the gearbox sealed and filled with oil for low maintenance since solar arrays are pretty remote sometimes

    • @tylerferrusi7652
      @tylerferrusi7652 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Idk about the torque situation - I'd say it's only actually engaging on or two teeth at a time, a lot of other teeth are really close, especially the closer they are to the contact point but unless the gears are flexing, no additional teeth are actually making proper contact. I'd think a next step could be to compare and contrast the design to a planetary configuration to see if there are any benefits but it's definitely interesting either way.

  • @Kargoneth
    @Kargoneth 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Fascinating. I think that, with a different way of meshing the teeth, the engagement could be gentler, like helical gears, though the vibration will remain an issue.

    I like this. Still not sure about it vs worm drive but either way I will take the extra arrow for my quiver. The one thing I can say is worm drive vs this has a perpendicular input naturally so this might have some advantage for situations.

  • @tsume_akuma8321
    @tsume_akuma8321 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    The Friction and Deformation Forces here are insane. Not only are you engaging and disengaging parabolic teeth at really weird angles, but you are also constantly forcing elastic deformation on all parts, making it incredibly inefficient compared to similar reduction arrangements. Main benefit is low amount of parts, I guess? but even then, your wear is gonna be much higher, due to the applied forces being extremely varying.

  • @Abmotsad
    @Abmotsad 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Ultra-high gear ratios are not difficult.
    Three worms, labeled A, B, C. Three 100-tooth gears, labeled 1, 2, 3.
    Worm A drives gear 1, which is coupled to worm B. Worm B drives gear 2, which is coupled to worm C. Worm C drives gear 3.
    1,000,000 to 1.
    Very compact. Nothing wobbles. Off-the-shelf parts.

  • @fraudbuster1456
    @fraudbuster1456 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It’s an interesting concept. Have you done a comparison with a traditional gear with the same ratio for friction? I have a feeling the friction may be too high for practical purposes. Adding bearings to the shaft to reduce the friction there was a great idea, but as you mentioned in the video, there are multiple teeth meshing simultaneously instead of just one and that means more friction.

  • @jacksparro3150
    @jacksparro3150 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The main advantage of a pericyclic gearbox is vey high output torque because several gear teeth are in contact at the same time. Because of its inherent design, we have this vibration problem causing the gearbox to self destruct. The only way to cancel out the vibration is by adding a "mirror image" of the gearbox. But then the output is now in the center of the whole gearbox which leaves us no other option but to use a spur or helical gear which is quite counterintuitive.

    That is interesting. In a sense , it looks like a mechanical relative of the planetary gear, or even the differential, If the output is the center and you hold one shaft while spinning the other. Perhaps counterweights in the nutating gear would cure the problem of being out of balance.
