The system includes at least two power disc elements, each mounted for rotation on a central shaft which is typically fixed. The first power disc element includes a first peripheral gear portion at the rim thereof by which the first power disc element may be turned by a first system gear mounted on a first system shaft which is offset from the central shaft. The first power disc element also has a second peripheral gear portion in the vicinity of the rim, extending forwardly. A second power disc element has a plurality of outer drive gears mounted for rotation to a rearwardly facing surface thereof, positioned to mate with the second peripheral gear portion on the first power disc element. A central gear is fixed to the central shaft to mate with the outer drive gears on the second power disc element. A second system gear mates with a peripheral gear portion of the second power disc element, the second system gear mounted on a second system shaft which is offset from the central shaft. The central gear may be substantially larger in diameter than the outer drive gears. The forward peripheral gear portion on the first power disc element also may have a substantially smaller diameter than the outside diameter thereof. Further, the system can include two sets of power disc elements, with two members or less, wherein the power disc elements mate with an input/output power disc element so that a single input can produce two output rotations, and vice versa. |
