this is my mechanical build as it is evolving.
I needed to find out what I needed to do to get it to lock every time without any other parts, and well this version does just that.

[webby2]

here is the system opened up to make it easy to see how simple this device is.
The silver cap in the center is the "pin" that the ring gear rotates around.

So simply put any sun to ring offset distance that is greater than 20mm will cause this to lock into mesh, there is a side effect of the tensile force between the sun to ring and then the ring to pivot via the arm that creates a very high force, this force is what forces the arm to rotate in sync with the sun gear, with no load or resistance on the pivot then the only force that is made with that is the force to make the arm follow the mesh.

One point that I will make is that the force is BETWEEN the RING gear and the PIN,, this is kind of very important to understand, that point stays within the closed system and becomes an integral part of the function of the system.

first pull is very interesting,, a rubber band force evaluation

The first pull was with the input rubber band at 60mm and the output was at 80mm, the system has a natural 5/6 step down to the output,, but both moved about the same 25mm from the spacer/preload stop.

the green is the input.
The gear-set is a 6/5 step down from input to output so the output arm should be 60mm for the input arm of 50mm for the system to balance in force.
The pic I have posted has the output rubber band at 70mm to have the same amount of stretch, between 40 and 42mm as the input,, resetting and retesting many times has given me the little window on the measurements but they are almost always within about 0.1mm of each other.

This then is a picture of a device in a static test state that is showing a mechanical gain for the operator.

I forgot to mention that that little gain is after all of the input costs have been paid for by the input,, so it cold be more,, it is a little sad that it is not yet at the 10:1 that the model predicts.

new direction

[webby2]

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

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.
