Version
1.0.1
YP Planetary Gear is designed to assist teachers
and students when they study the working of a
planetary gear train. (this software is not related in
any way with astronomy). A planetary gear train is
a mechanism consisting of an assembly of
meshed gears: the sun gear, the planet carrier,
and the ring gear. The automatic transmission in
an automobile uses the planetary gear train to
transmit power from the engine to the wheels at
various controllable speeds and torques. The
transmission of power is varied by locking one or
the other of the three gears. With YP Planetary
Gear, you may observe the motion of a planetary
gear train when one of its parts is locked. The
program also calculates the ratio of the angular
velocities when one of its parts is locked.
