Claims10
A gear reducer comprising:
- a center shaft configured to rotate a propeller;
- a first center sprocket positioned on a first side of the propeller, the first center sprocket being coupled to a fixed shaft;
- a second center sprocket positioned on a second side of the propeller, the second center sprocket being coupled to an outer shaft;
- a first orbiting sprocket being coupled to the propeller via a first arm, the first orbiting sprocket having a first set of teeth, the first orbiting sprocket being mechanically coupled to the first center sprocket;
- a second orbiting sprocket being coupled to the propeller via the first arm, the second orbiting sprocket having a second set of teeth, the second orbiting sprocket being mechanically coupled to the second center sprocket, wherein the first set of teeth have a different number of teeth than the second set of teeth.
