Hi everyone,
when designing a model, you often need a specific gear ratio. Most of the time, that's pretty easy: just throw together a few gears and that's it. But actually, there are prime-numbered gear ratios that you simply can't get with normal gear ratios. In this video, I'll try to explain how :)

@hithere-cz4oc 4 месяца назад

If anyone wants a formal proof: We can construct gear ratios for composite numbers by linking together the ratios for their prime factorizations. Therefore, it suffices to show that if we can create every prime, we can create every integer. Let p be the smallest prime which cannot be created with gear ratios. We know that we can construct p-1, because it is less than p and all numbers in the prime factorization of p-1 will be as well. We also know that we can construct p+1, since we know p+1 is even, and therefore we know p+1/2 can be constructed as well. Therefore, we can average p+1 and p-1 with the differential to get p, thus a contradiction is shown and therefore there is no such smallest gear ratio that cannot be made!

@devoarco 4 месяца назад

the prof has a little flaw: 2 is a prime number and 3 = (2+1) is not even. you have to show this seperatly but it shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise nice job!

@jjjannes 4 месяца назад

You can generate every odd number by rotating the side n revs, and the case 1 rev, the result will be n+2 revs. Because we know that a 1:1 and a 2:1 gear ratio exists, all other prime gear ratios also exists, since they are contained in the odd numbers.

1/6 ratio? For each rotation of the left axle, the differential rotates by 7/12. The differential doubles that to 7/6 for the output. Then you have to to subtract the 1 rotation in the opposite direction from the differential's internal rotation, leaving you at 7/6 - 6/6 = 1/6

For irrational gear ratios, I think it would be more practical not to use binary, but the nice approximations like 22/7 for pi, 17/12 for sqrt2 etc.

@VocalMabiMaple 4 месяца назад

Looking at that picture of gears just unlocked something in my brain. Idk if this is true or not, but here is what I observed. Given that the length of the teeth and the spacing between teeth are equal, you can make gears of different sizes by adjusting the size of the wheel to the count of the teeth. Instead of measuring by size, you can measure by tooth.

@in1 4 месяца назад

Since the circumference is proportional to the radius/diameter, a wheel that is twice as big will always have twice the teeth if the "tooth density" is the same. And if you want to drive one gear with another, they'll need to have the same "tooth density", so yeah, gear ratios are usually measured by count of teeth.

Try to approximate irrational ratios! Pi, e, the golden ratio, etc.

@CubeR4t 4 месяца назад

would it be possible to build a pi to 1 ratio (of course not exactly but like the first 5 -10 digits)?

@in1 4 месяца назад

That would be possible, at least in theory. You could maybe use the binary transmission I showed in the end for that, but of course in practise with friction etc. it's going to get pretty annoying

@CubeR4t 4 месяца назад

@silentobserver3433 4 месяца назад

355/113 is accurate to 7 digits. Since 355 = 2^5 * 11 + 3 and 113 = 2^4 * 7 + 1, it seems pretty doable. There are also probably better ways to achieve this than that

@sarkedev 4 месяца назад

You mention that to reverse the gear ratio you just switch input and output; however, this does not work with worm gears. So, for example, how would you do a 1:8 or 1:7?

@in1 4 месяца назад

You're right. 1:7 is possible by reversing any of the other 7:1 ratios without a worm gear, and a 8:1 just by putting a 4:1 and 2:1 together

@Simple_But_Expensive 4 месяца назад

Exact gear ratios are unnecessary in most machines because they are throttled. Step on the gas to go faster, let off to go slower. As long as the speed/torque don’t cause problems, you are within the window. If the speed is too great, or the torque bogs down your prime mover, change the ratio. Whether to increase or decrease the ratio depends on if you are using the gear as a speed increaser or decreaser.

@in1 4 месяца назад

Exact ratios are relevant when you want parts to move relative to each other in a specific speed ratio, like in a clock, or something like a production process where even a slight offset can break things.
