That is certainly compact. Do you have any ideas how it might be used in an
actual model? I suppose locking either the top half or the bottom half, or
both, would change the way the output shaft differs from the input shaft?
Although what I would really like to see is an inner gear ring which is a
lot larger than the current gears are. I'm not sure if it's technically
feasible to make, though!

| By locking the outer ring, in acts as a 2:1 or 1:2 gear (depending on which shaft you use as input and which as output. If you lock the planets, it turns into a 1:1. If you let everything loose, it is a neutral gear. If you lock the output shaftand (...) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)
