Thanks for that, what i gathered is that its too simple (the gear trains solution). What i would like to know is calculating Epicyclic Ratio of 1:1500. I looked on the net but couldnt even understand how its all done.

1) There is an input shaft horizontal 40mm dia with spiral spring mounted on it. This is to connect to epicyclic gears.
2) There is an output shaft vertical which has a spinning disc on top 15cm dia.
3) Gear ratio of input to output must be 1:1500

Please hwlp me calculate the number of teeth and whatever is necessary like diameters of all gears etc. Remember the spinning disc on top, is 15cm dia, so cant have the gears too big in dia.

Once this is done i will model it all in solidworks.

Work deadline for this is in two days, please help!!!!
