A motor continuously operating is a one hundred percent duty cycle motor. High duty cycle could detrimentally lower a motor's life expectancy and is therefore a problem. A means of solving said problem can be a system for use with a motor that reduces the proportion of a rotation during which said motor operates whilst rotation continues to be maintained by a system characterised by having a rotary shaft connected to two forms with misalignment between the cross-sectional longitudinal axis of one to the cross-sectional longitudinal axis of the other, and by having the rotary shaft with means to connect to a pawl and ratchet system which can be connected to a motor's shaft, and by having the rotary shaft also connected to a further ratchet with means to operate with a pawl, and with the rotary shaft having means to connect to a driver gear.
A system characterised by having a rotary shaft connected to two forms having each form characterised by having the length between one end of the cross-sectional longitudinal axis to the rotary shaft's axis of rotation dissimilar to the length between the other end of the cross-sectional longitudinal axis to the rotary shaft's axis of rotation and with misalignment between the cross-sectional longitudinal axis of one of the two forms to the cross-sectional longitudinal axis of the other of the two forms, and by having the rotary shaft connected to a different form connected to a pawl and ratchet system that can connect to a motor's shaft, and by having the rotary shaft connected to a further ratchet which can operate with a pawl, and with the rotary shaft that can connect to a driver gear.
