My New Gearbox

Here is one idea that came to my mind a few months back, of a new type of automatic gearbox-

We know what a gearbox is( instrument that changes gears, da!). In a manual one, a person has to change gears again and again. What he basically does is engage different sets of gears to obtain the required gear ratio, and thus change the ratio of the revs that the engine and the wheels take. An automatic gearbox also does the same thing but without the help of the driver.



The new design of gearbox that came to my mind has just one single set of gears and three shafts. The basic design is somewhat like this- the crankshaft is attached to the Gear-1, which moves Gear-2. The shaft holding Gear-2 is attached by a belt to another shaft which drives the wheels.


Now, this arrangement, at first look would idiotic, but don't come to conclusions too fast, please.
The trick is to make Gear-1 a bit different. Gear-1 should be expandable. What I mean is that when the gear rotates at high RPMs, its diameter and the number of teeth increases by a fixed amount due to centrifugal force. To do this, the gear on the inside contains pieces, with particular number of teeth, bound by springs(of specific tension) which uncoil at a specific point of time, at a particular RPM. When the dia. of the gear increases, some blank space form in it, which are instantaneously filled by those pieces. Now, there can be four or five layers of such pieces which means we can have 4-5 gear in just one!


And that means, as the Gear's size would increase, the other gear would be pushed further out to accommodate the size increase and the belt connecting it to the Third shaft will expand.
In this type of gearbox, as it is clearly noticeable, there will be no need to change gears by self.


This concept can be pushed a little further. If the pieces mentioned above could be just very thin, and come out with every increase in RPM, it will lead to just immense acceleration and torque(maybe); no need to change gears, no bump between gear change, just continuous increase of speed without frills.

P.S.- The whole setup can also take place by incorporating cylinders or drums instead of gears. Actually, that would even be better!
P.S.- These images are not related to my gearbox.

Multiverse and Parallel Universe

Well, here goes my first post-

This relates to a theory i just encountered, not in real life, but TV. That is parallel universes and Multiverse. And it includes a theory in the end. So, let's begin with the basic.
It's said that universe was formed by an extremely big explosion-Big Bang. Everything is said to have begun from a point sized particle(maybe it even had no dimension!) to an unimaginable size in a few nanoseconds! Well that's not entirely clear how and what caused it, but it still happened.
Now, when universe was formed it's not important that light was formed at the very beginning, so according to a theory(relativity), this would mean that we aren't seeing the whole universe right now, but just a part, because the light from the unseen cosmos hasn't reached Earth yet. So, we  are seeing just a part of the cosmos! and it's expanding, still!
Now, one more theory- it says that Universe is infinite. If it is than there must be infinite copies of everything. That is because there among the infinite initial states, two or (obviously)more will repeat itself. That would mean there will be an earth and with the same people as on our planet, doing exactly the same things as us, and doing it again and again and again! That's unbelievable but true that in some other part of the cosmos our alter ego roams freely' in the same way as us!(but that won't affect us in anyway, if touch each other the whole space time won't muddle up as it's shown in different media or we won't die as the other one dies, we are different after all)
Just one more theory. There are parallel universes. that means there are many different universes at the same place but in different time-space or dimension or whatever, but it has exactly the same people as us but there is a difference. They do different things. Actually, it is said that whenever we make a choice or whenever one thing can happen in many ways, a different universe is formed. For ex: we make a choice in to drink or not to drink, a different universe is formed. If we make the choice to drink here, then in the other reality we will not drink. Let's make it even simpler- Think of many different, infinite, universes then as i said before, a particle system will repeat itself and there will also be a particle system in which we do something else than what we are doing here.
That is multiverse- a space where different, infinite universes unite, in a rather complicated way. Different universes can be imagined as bubbles, touching each other to unite or destroy(that must be dangerous), or form within the other! So if there is some other universe within ours that would destroy us and we will just see it as some mirror reflecting us!(that will be a nightmare come true.)
Now, really last- my theory(just a theory, no experiments). Big Bang and collapse of a star seem somewhat same. Infinite mass in infinitely small size, then a blast and boom, we have a universe or a black hole. Both reflect like a mirror, are black(somewhat) and are mysteries. Leave the last part, but they have many same characteristics! So, if you are intelligent enough, you know what i mean. Black Hole is a universe in itself.(Reminder: That's my theory, may be rubbish.)
So, that's all. I just wish it is true. Not the nightmare part!
