Planetary Gear Investigation
#11
Nice.  I printed up a first model overnight.  Looks to lineup just fine..

   

Besides Induction-  I am still optimistic there may be a configuration which causes the magnets to continually chase to align, but can never get there. To cause continuous rotation.

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.

OOps,, I am not sure why Freecad messed up the file,, I got flooded a while ago and had to rebuild my computer and the newer version of Freecad seems to be having issues with the older file format I did these in.
