ONE GEAR FOR ALL
this library should allow you to create any gear for whatever use.
It aims to create perfect spiral gears with maximum efficiency while optimizing gear placement
how it works:
- define two axii - that's it, you have a gear pair.
you may also want to:
- define the gear ratio
- define the slip ratio between the two gears (twist) (spiral angle) and the lile
- define the gear thickness, pressure angle, holes, whatever else you need
This is a work-in-progress and more needs to be done, such as:
- fix TODOs
- include loxodrome
- gear body (the solid core)
- tooth profile
- write generic wrapper function
