  Boosting power in a gear train
 
I have a gear train that is driven by a very weak input, very small torque. There are some places in the gear train where I have some worm gears driving some 'regualr' gears. As I go along the gear train, I boost the output as much as I can with (...) (18 years ago, 20-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Hey guys... Might remember me... I posted the "Millenia Car" last year (was on the side bar for ages!). Anyway, finally got around to building something else (I lead a busy life). (URL) Technic truck based around the motor packs in the Bionicle (...) (18 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)

Someone posted a great crane/construction town&technic MOC about year ago (could me more)... but I can't find it it neither of the newgroups. Anyone remember it and know where I can find the pics?

  Re: More Power Functions info released
 
(...) snip... (...) snip... Not to be a stickler, but gearing doesn't increase motor power. Unless the large motor has less internal power loss (reduced friction would be nice) it will have more torque, less speed, and the same power as the NXT (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: gears...
 
Timothy is right about the mechanical advantage, and explained it very well! One more thing to remember is that since the worm gear acts as a "lock" for the other gear, you don't want to put too much torque on the other gear. You can either rip the (...)

  Re: gears...
 
(...) Basically, a worm gear has one tooth. So using that with a 40-tooth gear reduces the rotational speed by a factor of 40, and increases the strength by the same amount. Also, worm gears can drive a gear, but can't be driven by that gear, so (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)

This may sound stupid, but after half a decade of not playing with my Legos, I have forgotten some basic stuff, which I was wondering maybe you could help me with. My biggest is with gears. Can someone explain to me why using a worm gear with two (...) (18 years ago, 13-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New Monorail System (MOC) - 360 degree roll
 
(...) This is very cool stuff, Mark! As a bit of a Lego roller coaster guru ((URL) I am impressed and am looking forward to someone developing this to its full potential - it looks like some very cool new things can now be modeled! -Matt :) (18 years ago, 13-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)

  Re: New Moc: Mobile-Crane Liebherr LTM1070
 
Hallo Eric Thanks for your interesting in my crane. I did offset the weels from the hubs, because the pivoting-point come closer to the middle from the wheel, so it needs not to much space for the wheels, when they are steered. Beat (18 years ago, 13-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)

  Re: New Moc: Mobile-Crane Liebherr LTM1070
 
(...) One question I have regarding the boom luffing: from your pics it looks like the drive shaft also takes the load on the "hydraulic ram". Does the heavy load add a lot to the friction? Or did you unload the motor drive somehow, similar to how (...) (18 years ago, 13-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)

Hello! Great work, very clean design! I like this picture: (URL) patience and attention to detail has paid off! BTW, Why did you offset the wheels and hubs? -Eric (18 years ago, 12-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)
