ROTOR IN EPITROCHOID HOUSING Click here for the animation of a rotor in an epitrochoid house. This mechanism can drive the rotor around in the epitrochoid housing without touching the outside wall. The diameter of the gear wheel on the housing is twice the crank radius. The diameter of the inner gear on the rotor is four times the crank radius. In this mechanism the diameter of the gear wheel on the rotor is 4/3 times the crank radius. The diameter of the stationary gear wheel on housing is 2/3 times the crank radius.	rotor housing wall.   rotor housing side of ball bearings   gear on the rotor housing front plate   crankshaft   gear wheel on crankshaft   crankshaft side of ball bearings   rotor wall   gear, fixed on the rotor   rotor side of ball bearings   balls in the ball bearings
Rotor in an epitrochoid helix housing. This type of rotor has to rotate around the crank in the same direction as the crankshaft with half the speed. After 90 degree rotation of the crankshaft (45 degree rotation of the rotor). After 180 degree rotation of the crankshaft (90 degree rotation of the rotor). After 270 degree rotation of the crankshaft (135 degree rotation of the rotor). Click here for the animation of a rotor in an epitrochoid housing. Cone shaped helix rotor in epitrochoid housing.
Screenshot of the rotor in stl format in netfabb Basic 5.1. A file in this format can be converted in a file that can be used in a 3D printer. The shape is defined in the x,y,z coordinates of the corners of 2594400 triangles. I am still working on the program to make the stl-file. In the near future the program will be able to make the stl-files for the rotor and the housing, as defined in the inputs of an input screen.
