Okay, is no one interested? Some clarifications: This is the unreliable digital version, the reliable continuous one is too complex for me to draw very well. BTW, if it looks circular, it is, keep in mind that I made this in paint. If it looks coaxial...etc.. The two biggest circular curves are supposed to have gear teeth on the inside for the orbitals to roll in. All others are normal gears. The orbitals are dumb bell shaped, ie the small gear is in the middle of two bigger ones, and the central wheel fits inbetween them too. r[sub]3 is thinner than r[sub]4 in the z direction so it too can engage the smallest gear. I'm disappointed that there's not more interest, I mean I think I have mathematical proof that one can extract energy from a conservative force field, not to mention that the square wheel got a bigger response, and it has no practical use that I've noticed so far. PS: MR Ellis: You don't need to post the ramp picture twice, and thanks for making the other one big.
: Well, I don't know what/how to say, so just look at the picture and I'll anwser your posted questions. I don't know how fast I'll be able to though, I'm gonna be busy.
