Planetary Gears

  • Why gears? Give me a lever long enough, and I shall move the world.
  • Why planetary gears - compact and easily stackable form lends itself to many applications. See Curriculum - Grinder
  • 3D Printer - for parts printing
  • Lesson 1 - Using Wiki and Google Docs for documentation and collaboration.
  • Exercise 1 - Create a Template
  • Lesson 2 - theory of Planetary gears. Force, torque, speed calculations. 1 hour
  • Lesson 2 Group or Individual Exercise in Google Docs - Find the torque and speed on a sample gear with 1" sun, 4" planets when driven with the Open Source Cordless Drill. Document on Google Doc Gear Calculation Spreadsheet.
