Playing around with Rudolf Huttary's gear library, exploring the concept of single-toothed gears with profile shift and meshing gears of different pitch. The mismatch in pitch in this extreme case causes the planetary gears to slide and grind instead of rolling and pivoting more like worm gears. Not sure how freely this one will turn.
Came across this configuration while trying different parameters. Not a finished product, but just something of interest found along the way.
