The disclosure provides new crankshaft configurations for various purposes. In one embodiment, new crankshaft configurations are provided that are believed to be particularly suitable with internal combustion engines. Exemplary mechanisms convert a linear sinusoidal motion to a rotational one. In another embodiment, new crankshaft configurations are provided that are believed to be particularly suitable with manually operated drive systems, such as on bicycles. Exemplary mechanisms convert elliptic or linear reciprocating motion into angular motion. |
