ABSTRACT:
A gear reduction apparatus includes a housing having first and second input shafts rotatably mounted therein and first and second flywheels mounted on the first and second input shafts respectively. Each input shaft is adapted to be connected to a power source and includes a toothed gear portion in mesh with a toothed gear portion of an output power mechanism which is thereby rotated at a lower angular velocity than the input shafts. The output power means may include a planetary gear system for further speed reduction prior to connection to a driven member.
