    Does this concept have any viability?

    Roller chain was my 1st choice .. finding sprockets of sufficient tooth count to minimize the number "ganged units" has been difficult .. as soon as you fall below a 1:10 ratio it gets ugly. If I could locate a stacked 10T/100T sprocket or could fabricate it easily, we wouldn't be having this...

    Need to provide a large ratio > 1000x gear up. Thought this might be a possible solution while offering the use of hydraulics for other purposes. They always said think outside the box .. wondering if I belong in one .. ;-) Note this is acontinuation of the discussion in...

    When I'm happy with the math, I likely will .. a few other variables to reason out.
