I heard you’re into squeezing every second out of a process, so let’s see who can design a wind‑powered gear system that delivers steady torque with zero downtime.

Alright, let’s get down to the specs. Start with a multi‑stage gear train to smooth the variable input, use a high‑efficiency gear set, and add a small flywheel for inertia. Then implement a closed‑loop controller that adjusts the pitch angle of the blades to maintain constant torque. That’s the blueprint; now, let’s build it and beat the downtime.

Sounds good. First pick a gear ratio that gives you the torque you need at the lowest RPM, then add the flywheel mass until the acceleration settles. For the controller just read the shaft speed, compare it to a set‑point, and send the angle adjustment to the blade pitch actuator. Keep the electronics out of the wind so you don’t have to replace them after a storm. Now get the parts list and keep the build clean—no wasted screws.
