Does anybody have any links to a Technic engine/transmission similar to
those found in wind-up toy cars? I realize that it isn't as simple as
winding an elastic around an axle since a clutch mechanism would have to be
used to allow the drive wheel(s) to freewheel once the spring/elastic
energy is used up.
I'd try and design one, but sometime tells me a similar mechanism has been
designed before and I'd be very grateful if someone could point me in the
right direction.
Thanks,
Dave
