This model is of a prototype "transmission" I'm working on to add motion reversal and a power take off to an upcoming design. The shaft extending from the right face in the photo is the "shift" lever, allowing the reversal of the main shaft (the closest gear shaft in the photo) and activation of the power take off (the furthest gear shaft in the photo). The gear train is idle between operating modes.<br><br>A video of the prototype transmission is here: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://youtu.be/3St48Z5emT0">https://youtu.be/3St48Z5emT0</a>.<br>A video of the prototype shifting mechanism is here: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://youtu.be/Ixf1nCeKHkI">https://youtu.be/Ixf1nCeKHkI</a>.<br>And a video of the combined mechanisms is here: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://youtu.be/KycMIk3yxyE">https://youtu.be/KycMIk3yxyE</a>.
Hi Dan!
I'm still working on it, but it should provide interesting animation effects!
