Each gearbox is built from scratch and then tested for speed and torque. Flat layouts only (gears are on the same plane) for better visualization. Enjoy!

2 years late on this but my father was a truck driver and I was always entranced by watching him shift through his 10 speed on his Semi as a child. Understanding how it works now is still fascinating and gives me an even deeper appreciation of the applied science that goes into gearboxes. Mechanical advantage through a series of what appears so random on the outside, but is actually precisely measured. I love it.

The “8 speed” gearbox shown at 6:00 exists in the wild as a 4 speed gearbox with overdrive. Some British sports cars from the 60’s and 70’s have it. The cars had a 4 speed transmission as normal, with a solenoid-actuated electric overdrive box on the output just like the one shown has on the input. Basically a second gearbox. It gave the cars 7 forward speeds: 1st, 2nd, 2nd over, 3rd, 3rd over, 4th and 4th over (first and second were close enough that a first-over was unnecessary). It was useful for touring, allowing drivers to find an optimal engine speed for cruising on any given road!

@TNels

​@@someinconsequentialusernam7799 Most modern engines produce adequate power over a wide RPM range to not need this. Although we're starting to see more speeds (6 is common now, sometimes as many as 10) in new vehicles to optimize fuel economy. Where you'll find this the most is semi trucks. Many on the road have transmissions that operate like the 8 and 12 speed shown here. Many truck drivers would consider the Eton Fuller 18 speed as the best out there. It operates like a combination of the 8 and 12 here. With a high and low range (8 speed) as well as a splitter on each range(12 speed). Also, look up a Gear Vendors Overdrive unit. It is exactly what Will R speaks of.

8-speed and 12-speed shown here are representative of how truck transmissions work. Your typical Eaton 10-speed (same as 8 but with 5 on each range) has a range selector that works the same way as demonstrated in the 8-speed here. A 13-speed and 18-speed combine that with a splitter that works the same way as the 12-speed that's demonstrated. So yes, an 18-speed is just a fancy 4-speed (or 5-speed if you include the low gear).

I think it represents a synchroniser ring placed on the shafts of large scale transmissions. In a transmission, the wheels are connected to the input shaft. The input shaft rotates at the same speed as the wheels, which moves the countershaft, and then the driveshaft in turn. Now the gears on those shafts have to have their speeds aligned with the speed from the shafts, or else they will grind during shifting. A synchroniser ring, or a drive ring in this case, rotates at the same speed as the shaft idly. During shifting, it will connect its teeth with the gear teeth and synchronise their speeds, so that the gears rotate at the same speed during shifting.
@phoephoe795

I've never seen these before either, but looking at the video I think the driving ring gear as a circular hole so it'll spin freely on the shaft, and the driving ring has a + hole to grip the shaft. The teeth on the outside of the driving ring can mesh with the side of gear to engage/disengage the gear.
@altaccount4697

Nice demo, just for info purposes, a typical semi will have a 4 speed split gearbox with a high/low range, giving 16 gears. The 4 gears are changed normally with the stick, the split is a little switch on the front of the shifter knob and the range is a paddle a little lower down. Older semis had some weird transmissions or two with twin sticks.

Great work! I find it very interesting to see the loss of speed in the highest gears on the 8 and 12 speed gearboxes as the torque losses add up.

Would be cool if you would measure the efficiency of the system. Just hook up another motor to the end of it and measure generated power in relationship to the input power.
@phoephoe795
@phoephoe795 2 жыл бұрын
Worth noting that Speed (in Rad/s) x Torque (in Nm) = Power (in Watts) The only thing missing is the initial speed and torque of the motor. (which you could estimate off the power supply; power = volts x current, but it'll also include the efficiency loss of the motor)

@@phoephoe795 well, to get the motor efficiency out of the way you just hook 2 motors up directly with an axle to measure the zero state efficiency and compare any build system against that. Results in a pretty easy to measure loss in wattage compared to zero state, and a plain efficiency value. But yes, comparing initial speed and torque against ideal outgoing speed and torque and real outgoing speed and torque also works. The power comparison is imo just a lot easier, less prone to calc/measuring errors and results, at the end, in the same efficiency.

The only difference between this and a real transmission is a clutch, but those rings do a good job at being one for Legos. How would you actually build a clutch out of Legos?

Very instructive. It looks like the 8 speed gearbox is a 4 speed next to a 2 speed, so it results in two non-overlapping 4 speed gearboxes.
