How do you design the perfect gear to partner with a given shape? It's tempting to think the way to do it is to treat both gears as if they're rolling on each other without slipping, but it turns out most gears by their very nature must slip as they spin. Why is that?

I love this approach. Not a lot of new work on gear shapes in the last century, but modern 3D printing makes it easier than ever to play around with fun and nonstandard gear shapes. If you’re researching this, “conjugate action” is the technical term for gears moving at constant angular velocities. Also if anyone wants to know why involute gears are the global standard, it’s because of one more requirement which is constant pressure angle which also reduces vibrations. Also sliding action is often desirable for real world gears. The gears in your car transmission for usually kept in an oil bath and have hydrodynamic contact with each other so that the gear teeth never actually touch, they slide on a microscopic layer of oil. If you look closely, the spot on the teeth that typically sees the most wear is actually the one spot where the sliding velocity hits zero because that’s where they make metal on metal contact.

Cycloid gear already exist. They’re instrumental to clock making and are some of the few gears with zero sliding motion/friction. They must be spaced with extreme accuracy though, otherwise they go wonky. They most importantly can work without any lubrication, which is why watches and clocks can last so long.

The two parameter locus of motion (I.e. what you see in the thumbnail) for the generating gear is a field of epitrochoids for external spur gears and a field of hypotrochoids for internal spur gears. So yes, the traced motion of each point on the generating gear is represented by the addition of two rotating vectors with some angular velocity ratio. You could call it a finite Fourier series if you wish. More details are available in my larger comment on this video (a comment + larger one broken in two as replies to myself).

Despite gears being the posterchild of mechanical engineering and one of the first machines most kids are introduced to, they are absolutely one of the worst things to actually deal with in terms of designing (at least in terms of undergrad classes) There are an insane number of parameters you have to take into account and it quickly goes into a rabbit-hole of tables and equations. (At least if you want to design a set of gears that will last)

One engineering solution to maintaining the same radial speed for meshed gears is to see the gear as 3-dimensional, and change the teeth from having their peak parallel to the gear's axis to being skewed, so when the gear is meshed with a similar (actually, mirror image) gear, the point of contact slides up or down in the direction of the gears' axes, but at a constant radius for both gears.

You're talking about helical gears, right? I kind of assumed that they were just normal gears twisted about the axis of rotation, and that if you untwisted them they'd work just like straight cut gears. I'm not sure if what you're saying means that assumption isn't true or not. Also, I thought the helical twist was mainly for noise and wear considerations.

@@2fifty533 If you were to translate the common usage of complex numbers into geometric algebra terms, effectively what's going on is that all vectors are arbitrarily left-multiplied by e_x, which makes them into rotors. e_x * v = e_x * (v_x * e_x + v_y * e_y) = v_x + v_y * e_xy = v_x + v_y * i Complex conjugation corresponds to right-multiplication by e_x instead, v_x - v_y * i = v_x - v_y * e_xy = v_x + v_y * e_yx = (v_x * e_x + v_y * e_y) * e_x = v * e_x So his formula, z^* * w Effectively results in a geometric product, = v1 * e_x * e_x * v2 = v1 * v2 It's just that that in common usage complex numbers are used to represent both rotors and vectors, the rotors are naturally identified with complex numbers, but the representation of vectors is a little bit strange when you translate it back into geometric algebra.

Sweeping out negative space is essentially the way that some types of gear cutting machines work. You have a tool which is shaped like a gear with cutting teeth, and you rotate it together with a gear blank in the same way that two meshing gears would move. All the parts of the blank that aren't part of the matching gear shape get cut away.

Another important consideration for real-world gears is mass-manufacturability and interchangeability. This is the reason that the involute gear shape is so dominant: Unlike other shapes for the gear teeth, there the precise gear shape depends only on the pressure angle (the angle that the line of contact makes with a line perpendicular to the line connecting the centers of the two gears), the number of teeth, and the pitch/module (respectively, the number of teeth per unit diameter, and the diameter divided by the number of teeth), but **not** on the details of the meshing gear (though obviously pitch/module and pressure angle have to be equal between two meshing gears). This, and the fact that almost all gears use the same pressure angle (20 degrees) and manufacturing tolerances means that only a small set of standardised gear cutters are required to cut all gears of a given module, no matter how many teeth they have or which tooth number gears they will mesh with.

The one issue is that there are a whole category of gears with minimal to 0 sliding motion that do exist all around us. Cycloid all gears have for a long time been part of clock and watchmaking. Their contact allows them to have zero sliding friction as the gears themselves must have minimal friction and be never lubricated in order to prevent dirt build up. Other forms of cycloidal gears can be found in roots blowers and such. Having played which watch parts as a child and assembling a couple watches from parts, almost any sliding friction in watch wheels (gears) causes the rapid wearing out of gears that should never wear. This causes friction to increase rather exponentially until the watch spring can’t power the watch anymore, and in that case, every gear would need to be recut and at best, the plate that holds the jewel bearings be drilled again or tossed out.

I was able to get Desmos's graphing calculator to make the envelopes and I think your analysis of what goes wrong with the ellipse is correct. As the distance between the axles decreases eventually the inner envelope starts to self intersect, which in this case indicates that there are moments where the source gear is no longer in contact with the partner gear assuming you shave off the areas created by the self-intersection. Interestingly, as you continue decreasing the distance the inner and outer envelopes meet and then each become discontinuous, forming two new curves - I think this is when the output is an error for you. I plan on doing the same for a rack and pinion using a given pinion (and maybe vice versa, though that might be harder).

Interesting domain for that solution! In the parens we have dot(normalized tangent, radius vector), so all in all this means "gear radius projected on tangent to contact point is no greater part of R than w'/(w+w')". It's sort of a lever rule, but for angular speeds, and reflects the common design that the gears' average radii are in ratio with their number of teeth (in that case you can make all the teeth the same).

As we are taught in undergrad mechanical engineering: theoretically, most gears have involute profile which perfectly roll over each other. But the speed ratio varies since the point of contact moves radially. I don't know why you did not mention this basic stuff. Clocks use cycloidal gears which often have constant speed ratios but have sliding and more strength which make more sound due to sliding.

I was thinking of a weird way to do this. Create a line, where the height of any point on the line matches the length of a line from the center of the gear to the edge of the gear, rotate until you return to the starting position. Once you do this you have a line the length of the border of the original gear. Then you start a new object. Start drawing a line that is as far from the center as the height of this first line. Rotate and keep drawing at that height value. Once you return to the start you will have drawn the second gear. Just keep restarting at the beginning of your height line any time you reach the end. I wonder if i deacribed that well enough...

With the internally meshing gears, is it possible to stack multiple gears to create a sort of rotary engine? My understanding is that you could give the shape of a single rotor and create the housing and then another internal gear inside the rotor for the crankshaft. Rotary engines commonly use a gear ratio of 2:3 between the spinning rotor and the crankshaft, but i wonder if there are any other ratios that would work

I'm imagining an iterative process where we start with a gear and assign it a number of "teeth", select some other number of teeth to construct the partner gear with an appropriate ratio of angular velocities (there seems to be some flexibility in selecting R, which might yield an interesting constraint to explore), construct the partner gear, and then repeat with another number of teeth (again there's flexibility here, making for another interesting tweakable attribute on the iterative process), etc. It seems obvious that for suitably chosen R, the collection of circles would make something of a fixed point for a dynamical system constructed around such an iterative process; is it attractive? What's its basin of attraction? Are there other attractive fixed points? Do any of them closely resemble gear profiles currently in widespread use? What about repulsive fixed points?

This incredible! I'm curious if there's a way to solve for f(s) such that, we could find a function whose gear partner envelope is the original function, probably with some angular offset. I know a circle is a trivial solution to this, but, I wonder if there's a whole family of functions.

The interlocking wheel are gears - a gear is a spinning device using mechanical interlocks to transmit power. There is no requirement on slipping or continuity and there are gears that are specifically designed to give non-uniform rotation even to the point of not rotating at all for large parts (geneva drive).

You seemed to me to imply that you can arbitrarily define both rotational velocities as well as the axle distance separately while maintaining a fixed shape & scale for the arbitrary gear. To my understanding the shape & scale with a given rotation ratio should require a specific axle separation and the shape & scale with a given axle separation should require a specific rotation ratio. Something something conservation of torque & energy To clarify I'm more curious than anything

i thought so too, it didn't seem like you could specify the angular velocity of the partner gear as a free parameter, it seemed dependent on your axle separation and source gear shape and velocity

Is there some sort of gear equivalent to an ideal road? Like, a road which maintains constant angular velocity on a gear-wheel and constant forward velocity relative to the road.

I think allowing the axle away from the centre of the gear allows non sliding gears -- such as in an external cycloidal gear set. This means at least one of the gears must be on a crank.

Love that you are educational. Hate that your explanations are not conducive to dyslexic individuals. Too many definitive words (representing variables) not represented by any visuals, therefore nothing to hold onto within my mind before you prove your algorithm.

In your example with triangle wheel at the end you mentioned it would not be smooth because it's not touching, but it is -- the touching point instantaneously swaps to the tip in all points at which it is unsupported. Doesn't this provide stability since the triangle can't leave the trough it's currently in?

@24:00 I'm astonished that the solution stays closed form when I imagine all of the different types of gears in my head in particular, square and triangular teeth. To no surprise, as you developed your solution your mathematics are starting to look more like the equations used for cams and lobes. At the end of the day, all mechanisms are going to be an inclined plane, lever arm, wedge, pulley or some combination.

Hum actually, your own animation of the gear show that the surface of engagement roll one on another since the point of contact move for both surface at the same time. The only sliding there is in a gear set is in practical application since you need a tiny clearance gap and bad teeth number engagment can create a jumping phenomenon.

The cos could maybe be normalized to solve the greater than 1 issue. Technically one could consider it like radians where you wrap around to -1 since cos^-1 is only defined from [-1:1] which corresponds to from angle pi to 0 or 180 degrees.

uses an animation of involute gears ( Involute gears. At the instant where the line of contact crosses the common tangent to the pitch circle, involute gear teeth roll one over the other without sliding. ) and then says because the coontact point is not along the line joing the centres of each gear they must be sliding... RIGHT YOU DO.... also a gear that slides isnt going to last very long as sliding / rubbing sufaces will wear out very quickly.

I've seen your 3D Euler's formula video too and both in that video and in this you use linear algebra and complex numbers to manipulate rotations and transformations. I thought that maybe you should consider looking into a topic called geometric algebra, I promise you wont regret it. For example when I saw the equation at 22:52 I laughed knowing how natural of an interpretation it has in geometric algebra. It generalises a lot of things. So may I urge you to maybe do your next video about lets say a rotational topic using geometric algebra perhaps?

What happens if you place a spring between the axles of the rolling wheels, so that their distance need not be constant? Then can you get non-jerky rotation without slipping?
