A solid shaft ABCDE is supported by bearings at A and E. A power (Pmotor) is delivered to the shaft by a motor running at the RPM-motor through the gear C (diameter dC ). The speed ratio (SR) is given by following: . The power is extracted through the gear B and pulley D as a belt pulley (diameter dD ) to supply power to a blower that runs at RPMblower and it has a pulley diameter (dG) and power to a generator via the gear B (diameter dB ) X (fraction) of the power is extracted via the dD diameter pulley at D while the rest is extracted at dB gear diameter at B, The center distance between the pulleys D and G is DG and they are inclined with respect to the vertical axis y an angle . The two belt strands are not parallel. The tension ratio in the pulley is R. The shaft is viewed from E to A and it rotates counterclockwise (ccw). The pressure angle for the gears is 20 degrees.
