<p>The invention is a crank-less motion converter to convert bidirectional rotary motion from a pendulum type engine to unidirectional rotary motion having good mechanical advantage throughout the power strokes. It uses two hypocycloid or Cardan style planetary gear sets. Gear-less versions can also be designed using linear bearings rather than tooth mesh to cause the motion. It can also convert unidirectional rotary motion to bidirectional rotary motion, or continuous rotary motion to rotary motion with a momentary dwell.</p> |
