Parallelogram and internal gear mechanisms 1a

Pink, blue, green and yellow links create a parallelogram mechanism. Length of the pink link is equal to center distance of the internal gear drive. Z1: tooth number of blue gear (= 30). Z2: tooth number of internal gear (= 60). n1: pink input crank velocity n3: yellow output crank velocity Transmission ratio i = n1/n3 = Z1/(Z2-Z1) = 30/(60-30) = 1 Pink and yellow cranks (coaxial in the same side) rotate in opposite directions with the same velocity.
