Basic Planetary Gearbox Explanation

Post by zrusscher » Sat Mar 29, 2025 9:26 pm

Hey all,
I found a basic explanation of how planetary gearboxes work that explained it well. I thought I might as well share it as this has been a mystery to me. It is definitely not my work, nor is it specific to Model Ts, and being that I am new to all of this, I'm not sure as to the accuracy. I hope you find it as interesting as I did.

I have seen that video, though simplified, it's still a very good visual of what's going on.

I recently resurrected the Interactive Model T Transmission Simulator so you can have a play with that if you wish...
