Thanks pfjeka, it is getting better, a locking system would be cool but I'm trying
to avoid adding any more parts, it has taken a lot of tweaking to get to this point
and I'm still working on it Now if I can get the high speed pitch stability
sorted out we will have something
Nicely made something similar is used in 35mm movie projectors, in that aplication it was called an intermittant sprocket but I know there is another propper name for the mechanism but it excapes me now
Nice, thanks for posting the link to my scene I will try to find the time to try the chain on the bike but that scene is hard to modify, there is so much going on in the transmision Anyway nice chain/sprocket generator 10/10
PS I made the chain in the chopper scene using real roller chain dimensions as a guide
Very nice these are used in the Roots type superchargers, mostly the 2 and 3 lobed versions, in actual practice they are geared together and dont actualy touch each other or the housing they run in, very close tollerance stuff great for pumping air, also refered to as blowers VAROOOMM 10/10
The geometry on my sprockets isnt perfect and that is part of the problem with my chain, they were done using CSG and the more you mess with them the worse they get, at least for me
