(...) Explain 'Hmmm...' :-) I of course omitted the fact that my solution as described produces no mechanical advantage just a shaft going in the opposite direction. Of course, you can always replace the pair of gears on the second shaft with a pair (...) (24 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) I was going to say this solution is easy, but then I tried it. There are only two shaft's in this example. As lego don't make don't make a 'double width gear' You'd have to use four to make it in lego. All you'd need is three normal 16 tooth (...)
