t is an alteration work in two wheeler to get reverse. In this system we are using an Epicyclic gear train to reverse the two wheeler.There are three types of gears: namely ring gear, planet gear and sun gear in the Epicyclic gear train.
The system initiates as a balanced system, if the command to open the power level determined is controlled by the second input. The working-fluid is heated according to the set profile. The working-fluid vapor fills and expands the inner container. The power-fluid is forced from the container into the external expanding container by this action.
