Planetary gear set can be used in a sailing boat to provide various gear ratios, allowing for efficient power transmission and control of the boat’s propulsion system.
Sun Gear: The sun gear is connected to a carrier, which holds the planet gears.
Planet Gears: Multiple planet gears are meshed with the sun gear and an internal ring gear. These planet gears can rotate independently while also orbiting around the sun gear.
Ring Gear: The internal ring gear is fixed to the boat’s propeller shaft or the boat’s transmission system. It provides the output shaft rotation.
