(OP)
hello
is there any mechanism with gears that have dynamicly variable diameter?
thanks!

RE: dynamic gears
Longer answer: There are mechanical drives with variable speed ratios, but no gears are involved. Google Mechanical Variable Speed Drives.

RE: dynamic gears
There are gears out there that are not round. The radius varies as the gear rotates. Of course, you have no control over this as the machine rotates.
Google non-circular gears.

RE: dynamic gears
Something of particular interest?
RE: dynamic gears
RE: dynamic gears
somehow to increase the diameter of a gear (by axons positioned as radii)?
can you imagine this happening somehow?
RE: dynamic gears
Ever seen a multi-speed bicycle?
What are you trying to do?
RE: dynamic gears
RE: dynamic gears
why can't you have the teeth increased in number with a mechanism? that will expand the circumference of the gear and at the same time, more teeth will somehow emerge?
I am not trying to do something specific, I am just trying to conceptualize that: a gear with variable diameter
applications can be various, once we can conceptualize it
RE: dynamic gears
Engineering is about solving problems practically and economically. If you don't have a problem to solve, or any regard for those concepts, I don't think I have anything else to add. Sorry.
RE: dynamic gears
what do you mean magic car person?
maybe you were also saying that a continuously variable transmission box cannot exist? or could not imagine the mechanism to create it?
Engineering is solving problems, but innovation is about exploring the unknown.
RE: dynamic gears
I'm not saying a CVT can't exist, if you scroll up you'll see where I point out the fact that they already do.
You may want to look for an innovation forum. Fair warning, it's difficult to explore the unknown if you don't know the known.

reality checkdisruption.RE: dynamic gears
Now all I need is someone to imagine a way to do that and I'm good to go.
RE: dynamic gears
-If you can change the pitch diameter of the gear (and increase/decrease the number of teeth), how will the mechanism be able to handle the change in center-to-center distance of the gears in question?
