3 SPEED GEARBOX

How does it work ?

This design features a unique method for changing gears, using a cavity on the shaft and tabs on the gears. The cavity on the shaft acts as a rail, allowing the gears to slide back and forth along the length of the shaft. The gears themselves have tabs that engage with the cavity, ensuring that they rotate along with the shaft. To change gears, the driver must slide the gears along the cavity on the shaft, so that they engage with a different set of gears. As the gears shift position, the teeth on the new gears mesh with the teeth on the old gears, changing the gear ratio and adjusting the speed and torque output of the system.

The Gear Lever

Three gears on the output shaft are connected with a pipe in order to move and change gears. The gear lever, which is used to shift gears, is connected to the pipe through a ring. However, since the gear lever must remain stationary while the pipe and gears are rotating, it cannot be directly connected to the pipe. To solve this problem, my design features two additional rings on the pipe, one on each side of the gear lever ring. These rings are connected to the pipe and rotate along with it, but are not directly connected to the gear lever ring. Instead, the gear lever ring is located between the two side rings and is free to move independently of them.
