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

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?

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

you're an engineer by doing, whereas wannabes don't! very cool project

you're not a wannabe! you're an engineer! you made something awesome. wishing you the best :).

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

Nice work!

try making something without AI too, it will be valuable
