Help with gear size and ratio
(OP)
I have a home project that I need some help with. Is there away to figure out the gear size for something like this? gear input: 2.29:1; gearbox ratio: 115:1Pulls 32 FPM and 1800 lbs. single load; I am not sure home figure out the size and number of gears. I would like to try to run this from a chain saw with turn 2700 to 9000 rpm. Any help is greatly appericated.
Thanks,
Darrell

You can't homebrew it for that.

If you persist, consider using stock gearboxes or stock open gears. Manufacturers of such things typically provide engineering sections in their catalogs; you will find the information useful.

They still teach that in engineering school, right?

In all seriousness, there are a number of factors that determine the size of gears. You can pretty much get any input to create any output using a certain number of gears (depending on how much room you have). I suggest buying, "The Handbook of Practical Gear Design", by Dudley. That is one of the bibles of gear design.
There are many things that are involved in gear selection that are much too lengthy to discuss here.
Good luck.
