This could also be a valid design for a one way clutch gear but needs 3 additional rollers.

Actually the 64t monster is looking a bit awkward for spacing.  Besides the 16t at exactly 5 studs, the only reasonably good fits in the 1:1 studless technic grid seem to be:

8t at (4,2) (i.e. 4 studs across, 2 studs up), 0.03 studs too tight

24t at (5,2), 0.11 studs too tight

36t at (6,2), 0.07 studs too loose 

I did not investigate using technic bricks and plates yet.

 

Hopefully Sariel will add this gear to his gear calculator soon. There is the tab "gear coupler" for exactly that purpose.

Alternatively, import this to Studio or 3D print it and experiment with Technic bricks and plates.

The all important 8t / 64t is the same spacing as 36t / 36t.  I just tried this at the (4.2) grid point and it works nicely - not too tight for most purposes.

Of course because (8+64)/2 = (36+36)/2.

No need to wait for that - it's just Pythagoras!
