I am new to this topic. Could someone help me understand as to why all "ground" connections are considered to be just 1 link? If we number the other fixed joints like the ground one, there should be two more links, shouldn't there? Apologies if I am wrong. I just want to know the theory behind it. Thanks in advance!
you can actually make a 1:2 transmission using the archemedes trammel if you offset the gear with 2 "teeth" and spin the part where those 2 teeth slide into, the 2 teethed part will now have 2x its rpm but 0,5x the torque
