  • Yes a visual picture of a planetary gearset. It makes a lot more sense looking than reading about it in my auto trans book.

  • Video would be improved if the PURPOSE were explained. What does it DO?

  • I still don't get it, why is the ring gear called the ring gear? Shouldn't it be called the universe gear? :D

  • There have been at least a few Manual Transmission that also use planetary gears, such as the Wilson Pre-select.

  • @Aaroenz0r Move the Sun and Ring gears at different angular velocities.

    Problem is; I think you just waste the torque..

  • shit!! my brain is about to explode

  • I Still don't fully understand how you can get different gear ratios :(

  • @shanegalang2 it might but you will probably lose a gear completely or it will shudder into a gear or such

  • @ rotarychild :- will you please send m your auto trans book.

  • If these gears are felling in a transmission will it make a whining sound as I accelerate?

  • It wouldnt make it easier to pull.
