I'm trying to build a model of a machine. What I need is to find a gearset where the speed of the driving shaft would be constant, but the output shaft would speed up for 180 deg then slow down for 180 deg. After one full rotation both shafts must return to their origional positions. This would require an eccentric gearset where the drive shaft and output shaft are both offset from the center of the gears. I tried this with some Lego gears, but the problem is both gears are identical and thus binds. So apparently this type of gear set must be matched, as best as I can discribe it: male & female. I've googled and googled and looked through hundreds of pages but all with no luck & was hoping somebody here might have run accross this before.
Any links or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike
