ABSTRACT:
A device for increasing torque about a central member as a series of driver discs eccentrically rotate about a central shaft input member and alternatingly engage an output component via a low-friction, rolling engagement mechanism. Each disc is engaged with the other through a series of rings and dowels partially embedded within each disc. As the central input shaft rotates, each disc alternatingly engages the output component so the output, and central member, rotate with increased torque, albeit at a reduced speed.
