Round 2 stud diameter “plate” with three axle pin holes, each apart 120° — to replace crankshaft middle part, which allows us to make engines with correct piston stroke sequences, and the same plate with two holes 146° apart (twice 72° a pentagon angle) An inverted toroidal “cone” with axle pinholes on its sides to be able creating a toroidal continuos variable transmission

I have just found that a common rubber band fits to the 42000 tyre's groove perfectly. SO you can make something like this Sadly I have found only one

You should really check this CVT out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54biG55um5o The issue with this cvt is impossibility to control the ratio manually :)

A feature car maybe? Yes, it is about 1:3

Saberwing40k, you are correct, sir; this is just a proof of concept. I don't think that wheel blocking is a big problem for lego.

I have just made a Limited Slip Differential. I was inspired by Legonut135 CVT, and my LSD is based on his transmission principle with adding extra differential. Without drive differential Installing the drive differential Here's a Youtube link

I am yet to figure out how could I create half-stud displacement with studless liftarms, that's the reason why I decided to use axles and perpendicular connectors. Still have issues wuth basic connections (like: how to create a studless cage with 8 liftarms?).

Hi everyone! This is my first attempt to build a gearbox. Being a newbie I have noted there are only one type of gear which could be coupled with a driving ring. So I decided to find a workaround for this issue (I bet i've seen this idea on this forum). The idea is to use two not connected half-axels with a driving ring in the middle, the synchroniser’s home axle syncs standard synchro-gear, while the floating half-axel uses any other gear and could be coupled with a synchroniser with help of a standard bush (which has notches on one side to couple). - There are some cons to that approach: half axels have to be precisely aligned. - Sometimes it is impossible to switch the gear when motor is turned off. What do you think?

Wow thanks! That was fast. Does all wormgears slide on axles?

Hello, Could anyone suggest how can such schematic be designed? It always spins the same direction no matter which direction input rotates. Thanks in advance!
