6 axle ?
6 axle ?
(OP)
ok this is a quik image i have made

those thick black lines are round tubes to spin ... my 6 axle
and i whant to spin them one at the time with 2 dc motor if its possible.
if motor 1 spins right and motor 2 spins left then the first axle will rotate.
if motor 1 spins left and motor 2 spins right then the second axle will rotate.
if motor 1 is stoped and motor 2 spins right then the third axle will rotate.
if motor 1 is stoped and motor 2 spins left then the fourth axle will rotate.
if motor 1 spins left and motor 2 is stoped then the fifth axle will rotate.
if motor 1 spins right and motor 2 is stoped then the sixth axle will rotate.
Ok i hope someone understand this, this would work if i know how to build it, I have a couple of gears but its seems impossible.
Can anyone help me, show me or explain how exactly i can do or give me another teory to make this ?

Buy four more motors.

Then you'd have to build up the rest of the drive train which sounds like it might need a differential somewhere. What is this for, some kind of clockwork machine?

Rotating the motor clockwise drives 'roller one' clockwise direct through the first clutch. Rotating anti-clockwise rotates 'sprag clutch 2' anti-clockwise, which is reversed by the gear so 'roller 2' rotates clockwise.
However, six with two motors sounds like a job for electromagnet clutches and a logic circuit. Or sprag clutches, electromagnet clutches and diode+relay logic. Which might as well be cheap process computer?
It's got to be possible with pure mechanics, but I dont feel it would be reliable or cheap to run.
