ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a stationary housing having disposed therein an epicyclic star gearset including sun, idler, and ring gears. The sun gear includes an input shaft extending therefrom, and the ring gear includes a first output shaft extending therefrom. A bull gear having a second output shaft extending therefrom is also provided and is operatively connected to a pinion gear, which pinion gear is fixedly connected to an idler shaft extending from said idler gear. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the gears are predeterminedly sized for obtaining equal and opposite rotation of the first and second output shafts during operation.
