transmisson
 

hey all
how's it going, this isn't done yet, still have to build the gearshift and put in the electronics, but i thought i'd give you all a peak at just how bored i am. tell me what you think/ any tips or changes you think i should make

holy crap i'm sorry those pics a huge!!!

wow:eek:

that looks like alot of work..i hope it works:)

Whoa that looks awsome There have been some therios of transmission before but nothing acually made yet thats sweet!

Thats a pretty cool tanny you got there. That would be a serious drag car if you got it to work. That looks very cool.

be still my beating heart! I see love when I know it....and you're a god!

THATS INSANE!!!:D

how many gears does it have and how exactly does it work? is it auto shifting? how does it engage?

I'm with flatlander :D
Good luck man, I really wanna see that thing up and goin soon.

i think i understand what ur trying to do since i sorta tried to make a tranny from lego technic parts and from what i can see, it woudln't really shift since you got two gears on the top kinda locking the set of gears on the lower drive shaft.

good luck with it tho, i'm sure u can get it to work

hey everyone,
thanks for your comments and support, FLATLANDER- it only has two gears unfortunately, but the ratios are like 8.46:1 and 1:12, there are a few other kinks to work out, like the shift... when it shifts the white gear in the middle on the second shaft slide to engage one of the drive gears, i thought i could do that electromagenetically, like the steering but the magnet keeps pulling at the metal axels so i have to find a way to put in a second motor and work out a mechanical system which will probably eliminate neutral.. but also make it so you don't have to hold down the buttons all the time... anyway it has it's kinks, i'll work around them though.. post any questions or comments. i'll be happy to answer/read them

W T F??

oh sorry guyz my head is hurting.. i think it's time for my to sleep

crweedon, i'm gonna make you pay for my asprin :o

very very nice

update us aight?

Very interesting design! Looking forward to seeing the results.

1:12????? Ok, you have some explaining to do!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

that looks crazy, and HUGE too:eek:

i hope you get it to work

you should make some sort of gyro so when it pics up spped it shifts by it self.... like a clutch of some sort. like weights held on the axel with springs ...and they push out to the gear when the axel spins faster... oh i'll have to draw a pic.....

sorry bout the pic..drew it in paint instead of cad...:rolleyes:
