I don't have access to the gearbox as it is only a theoretical gearbox! There must be a way of using geometric progression. My friend has worked it out but won't tell me! Argghhh!
The only clue he gave be is that the gears have a progressive increment of 1.4 but I need to know how he got to...
ha that is odd!
My example won't be actually built it is the theory behind it that i was after. I need to find a way of calculating those values whether they are linear or not.
If a 6 speed gear box has a 1st gear ratio of 7:1 and a sixth gear ratio of 1:1
how would you calculate the 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th gear ratio's?
If you use the equation for geometric progression which was my first thought - it doesn't work!
Any ideas?
