Wow, that is cool. But why didn't tracy think of that when he first made
the drive.... Tracy? :-)
Dave Leonard (I want to go really fast too :-)
Left turning C drive -- basically cannot be done, unless a
totally different gear set were used (maybe not even then). The
reason 2.17 turns left and 2.85 turns right is making use of
which set of gears drives the prop. If you take the power off the
ring gear, you get rotation reversal, if you take it off the
planetaries, you get same direction rotation, and a higher
reduction factor.
By the way, this is how your automatic transmission works, (where
the gears come from), a band clamp holds the ring gear steady for
forward, taking power off the planets, and for reverse, they hold
the planets stationary and take the power off the ring gear. Then
you go backwards.
