  Re: What's the difference?
 
Hello All, Nice and correct description, Luis. A range changer would have a ratio of 1:4 in this example. (16z/16z and 32z/8z) A Splitter would have a ratio of 1: 1.25. (16z/16z and 16z/12z) Hmm, these ratios are a little bit hard to build though... (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jan-07, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: What's the difference?
 
(...) Mechanically, I would think of the splitter as an additional gearbox. Using the same example Maico gave, you have a 4-speed plus reverse gearbox. The splitter would be simply an additional 2-speed gearbox. Suppose the ratios in the 4-speed (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jan-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: 2007 sets: Huge RC Bulldozer and Combine Harvester
 
(...) A closer look at the upper right pic reveals that the combine harvester pretty much has all the same functions as the last "official" combine harvester model, 8862's alternate model. It DOES look better than 8862's, though. (18 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That machine is ingenious. I like the way he has his RCX bricks communicating by traveling along with the assembly line. I also like the frame he made to hold the wheels while the body was pushed onto them. Brilliant. (...) This reply is (...)

  Re: What's the difference?
 
(...) Yes, and keep in mind that the advantage with an 18speed transmission that I described in my last post,is that you could go through your low gears without splitting them, flick into high range and split whichever gears you want...gives you (...) (18 years ago, 23-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: How to use this part to flip something?
 
(...) I realized in this picture, you can see a little more of the part in the lower left of this image. (URL) Since the part is at the core of the joint, it is hard to see it. You can see where the joint pivots, that is where the pivot point of the (...) (18 years ago, 23-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

  Re: What's the difference?
 
(...) Yeah I suppose it would be, because you would have two different sets of gears that could both be changed. So in that way they'd be the same. The trick is to not duplicate ratio's because that's a waste. (18 years ago, 22-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: What's the difference?
 
(...) Is it something like the front and rear sprockets of a 10+ speed bike? I know there are frequently duplications of gear ratios there. (18 years ago, 22-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: What's the difference?
 
(...) That makes a lot of sense. The configurations I was coming up with in my head, tended to duplicate ratio's I already had. Steve (18 years ago, 21-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: What's the difference?
 
(...) I don't know any details about splitters, but if the difference in ratio of the 2 gears in the splitter is smaller than the difference between any of the standard gears, then it would create ratios between the standard gears as per Glen's (...) (18 years ago, 21-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: What's the difference?
 
(...) I've read all the replies and they seem to contradict each other, so I think I'll further define my question. If the splitter is an add on in front of the gear box how does it's internal mechanism give a ratio half way in between the gears. (18 years ago, 21-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic)
