Abstract
A wobble gear system is provided with an arrangement of gear elements that permits a motive input to drive planet gear elements to increase the gear reduction ratio while maximizing efficiency of the wobble gear system. The wobble gear system may have eccentrically rotating or oscillating wobble elements including a wobble plate and compound planet gear elements that are non-collinear and may be driven by the motive input, increasing the realized gear ratio in a single stage without reducing efficiency. One wobble gear system embodiment may employ a plurality of ring-supported and driven compound planet gear elements with laterally offset non-collinear central axes to optimize eccentricity and enhance gear reduction ratios. The wobble gear system may be integrated with components of a vehicle drive wheel driven by an in-wheel motor to produce speeds and torques required to drive vehicles including automobiles and aircraft.
