Final Report

Problem Statement

This team was tasked with designing or replacing an external gearbox for an electric-motor driven train car. A suitable replacement was sought for, but none was found; so, a complex set of gears, or compound gear train was designed. This gear train allowed for a smaller electric motor to drive the large rail car at appreciable speeds.
