Reuleaux Triangle Gear Coupling Mechanism

This Reuleaux gear model showcases my learning experiences with the mechanism, with this particular design being the most intriguing among attempts. The "analysis" image demonstrates speed variations on each gear. Created using Solidworks 2015, it was rendered in Simlab Composer 6 Mechanical Edition. Frames were edited as AVI/X264 and BMP with Virtualdub, remuxed to MP4 with MyMP4BoxGui, and converted to GIFs via PhotoScape. Edits on renders were done using IrfanView, while the model's 3D-PDF, ZIM, and SIMLAB files are animated. The ZIM file is compatible with IOS and Android devices when viewed through the free Simlab Viewer app. Available formats include Solidworks 2015, Simlab Composer 6, DAE, STEP, IGES, STL, Parasolid, OBJ, 3D-PDF, SketchUp, 3DS, and ZIM.
