Transmission like this looks really good in a simulation, but I wonder how much lubrication would this require to operate in the real world. this: https://www.

- varjag 11y agoA lot of those solutions have been around for centuries but are quite impractical. The problems are often the required operational tolerances, wear rate, poor torque characteristics and other real life issues. They are utterly fascinating to watch though.
