Dual-Stage 1:4 Step-Up Gearbox for A-F Alternator

3D-Printed Dual-Stage 1:4 Step-Up Gearbox for Axial Flux Alternator

 This 3D-printed gearbox attachment features two sequential 1:4 step-up gearing stages, achieving a total speed increase of 16:1. Designed for an axial flux alternator, this system allows for efficient power generation at lower input speeds by significantly increasing the alternator's rotational speed.

 Each stage consists of a small input gear driving a larger output gear in a 1:4 ratio. The second stage follows the same principle, further multiplying the speed while maintaining smooth torque transfer. The gearbox is designed with reinforced 3D-printed components, ensuring durability while keeping the overall weight low.
