Epicyclic Gear Ratios

Too low res

Support Delisting --Fir0002 www 08:18, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
The creator of this diagram is still an active wikipedian, and there is nothing on his talk page about this so I reckon the nomination for delisting is premature. I've left him a message asking whether he can provide an svg or at least a larger version ~ Veledan • Talk 17:33, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep until the creator can provide a high-res version (which should be very easy to do, if he still has the files saved). I've sent him an email as well. --BRIAN0918 22:48, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Comment Imagine an animated version of this one! Though you would need way too many frames since the outer point moves slower. oh well --Lewk_of_Serthic _contrib ^talk 05:13, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- Make it rock back and forth... or at least adjust the ratios so that one revolution of the slow gear is an interger number of rotations of the faster gear. --Gmaxwell 10:40, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, although it would be nice with a few more steps. Since the creator hasn't responded I suggest we just replace the image. Anyone know blender? There is a gear module here which looks like it will do all that we need. --Gmaxwell 14:10, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Increase the number of frames for smoother motion. deeptrivia (talk) 21:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Comment2': Title should be "Epicyclic gear train". deeptrivia (talk) 00:00, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Comment: I've uploaded a higher-resolution version. If anyone else wants the .blend file to play with (it's set up for animation already), email me. -- Wapcaplet 23:44, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
