Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper presents the design of a planetary drive with 2 degrees of freedom and simulation of the proposed mechanism in ADAMS software. The mechanism can be used to smoothly change the reduction ratio depending to the applied load on the output shaft. At constant input of motor the proposed mechanism is able to provide variable output speed. The paper is aimed to study the capability of the mechanism to adapt the operation to variable loads. The design constraint has been selected to an application as a reducer of speed on a wind mill. The results of the simulation have been aimed to outline the output parameters of a planetary drive for wind mills.
