starting to do all the test fit so I can make all the right shims,, this is the lower section and you can see my 2 speed gearbox on the left  The upper middle piece is high so you can see where the 20T mod2 gear is.

this is the frame stack I am building for this test bed,, not all the gears and shafts are included.
It will use 4 8mm shafts that are vertical and lock to the frame level pieces and 2 8mm shafts mounted n bearings for the pass through.

3:1 is to far the other way so now I am going to try a 1:1, 44T to 44T

The gear reduction for the TT motors was way too much, at the low RPM I want to run some basic tests at they were barley rotating so I am going to jump that to a gear up, so a 22T gear on the TT motors and a 66T gear on the lower gear to drive them.

This is the inside of the TT motor reduction unit

I made an adapter so I could try this in my existing frame,, this frame has no feedback system so it is a test between the input drive gear and the pivot shaft.
My system has new bearings still filled with grease so they are stiff and I have some friction within the system so there is some force that will transfer.
First test,, spin the drive gear, the upper gear turns, the lower gear turns and the whole system turns,, very little effort to spin.
Second test, I stuck my finger in and stopped the lower gear from turning,, I then spun the input drive gear and it was a little stiffer to turn and the upper gear rotated but nothing else turned.
Third test, I stuck a TT motor on the pivot shaft, it can spin but has a force required, the input drive gear felt the same as the finger test and the only thing that moved was the upper gears.
Fourth test, I used my finger to let the pivot shaft "slip" past my finger with varying amount of force,, the input drive gear changed with the amount I was pushing on the pivot shaft but only went up to the point where it was the same as the stopped test.
It would appear that the physical distance relationship has been decoupled and the "magnetic coupling" then would be a constraint force only,, that coupling will be 3 TT motors running in series and across a 50 ohm resistor.

This is an offshoot and is the build I am working on right now.
This is an exploded view of the parts so far,, more to design and print.
Maxwell's little demon is sitting in the slip of the gears and its logic places one force this way and the other force that way,, it is all pre-programmed into the physical parts relationships.

a short once over.
The system has a 10mm arm on a pivot at the center of the frame, on the end of that arm is a pin. Attached to the frame centered on the pivot is a fixed ring gear, it does not move, inside that ring gear and free to spin on the pin is a smaller gear so that as the arm orbits the gear runs around the inside of the ring gear and stays meshed. Above that is another larger gear that is free to spin on the same pin. Around that gear is a larger ring gear that is free to rotate but not orbit and it is meshed with the larger gear. I have 5 gears around that ring gear that steer/guide/hold the ring gear and provide for a point of input.
This setup as shown I am using 60T drive gears up on top and a 180T ring gear.
Now if the arm rotates and moves the two meshed gears after 1 full rotation of the arm the gears will make 1 full orbit but they will not have the same rotational angle, this creates a "slip" between the 2 gears and so to reconcile that unobtainable gear ratio a generator is placed between them, one gear spins the case and the other spins the rotor, this allows the difference, or slip, to exist and also allows for a force to be created that can transfer the larger gears torque to the lower gear, which then the lower gear will be forced to walk around the inside of its fixed ring gear which then will drive the arm to rotate around and if the arm is attached to the input gear for the upper large ring gear it will spin that gear and that will force the large upper gear to rotate which is then creating the slip and the force needed,,, rinse and repeat for as long as the system has motion.
Maxwell's Demon then is sitting in the slip and moving the charge carriers this way and the force that way, and so long as there is motion this condition lives.

I need to fix a few things but this is the new direction
