Planetary Gear Investigation

I never showed the last build (where I left off)..
I can't do much with this as-is, so in my downtime, I am printing a stabilizing carrier (same as bottom) to go over the top. This should stabilize the gears and rid most of the shaft slop. Later I can experiment with magnet placement by redesigning the wafer plates. All in all, it's pretty cool.. I can rotate magnets on their axis in the opposite direction as the magnets themselves are turning.
planetary gears,,
So if you also use a ring gear things can be fun, the gears do not need to all be the same ratio,, so many fun ways of setting up the interactions. I spent a lot of time playing around with gear-sets with the "faster than the wind" mentality as well as a few others. So you can set up a planetary so that you have in different length arms and different gear rotation rates all being tied into a single ring gear to sun gear. It is all fun stuff. This is a pic of one system I was playing with. With this one all the planets are driven by a belt.
