    What is it? Is this like a gear, where the output shaft turns at some fraction of the input shaft? Is better or worse than traditional toothed gears in some way?

    Hey, you should join Hack Club! I was just at an event where a high schooler designed and built a continuous variable transmission (https://outpost.hackclub.com).

    You’ll meet a ton of interesting, friendly teens who are all helping each other build awesome projects.

    Cool project!

    (Hack Club is a nonprofit and I’m the founder of it)

    Don't post your age on the internet :)

    Project looks cool

    it is pretty cool, but posting your age + an (likely) AI project on hacker news is probably a bad idea.

    I didn't even know what a cycloidal gearbox was! Good work—you've kicked off an exciting career.
