Prime planetary gear1

ring gear teeth:
R = A053144(n) = A002110(n) - A005867(n).

planet gear teeth:
P = A337022(n) = A002110(n)/2 - A005867(n).

sun gear teeth:
S = A005867(n).

For example for n=3:

R = A053144(3)=A002110(3) - A005867(3)=30-8=22
P = A337022(3)=A002110(3)/2 - A005867(3)=7
S = A005867(3)=8

An example of this planetary gear for n=3 is on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:53451

The planetary gear ratio is given by A038110/A060753 = (1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 4/15, 8/35, 16/77 etc)

Example for the gear ratio: S/(R + S) for S=8, R=22: 8/(22+8)=8/30=4/15=A038110(4)/A060753(4).

Pictures of 105 rotations of the planetary gear: (step label step5 was accidentally skipped)


 




The planetary gear has a period of 105 turns of the ring gear when the sun gear is held stationary.

Starting at step1:

Turn the ring gear counterclockwise 105/11=9.5454.. turns to give step2.

List of the counterclockwise turns of the ring gear with sun gear held stationary:

(step5 label is corrected in the below list)

step1: 0 turns
step2: 105/11=9.5454.. turns
step3: 105/11=9.5454.. turns
step4: approx 7.2 turns
step5: approx 2.3 turns
step6: 105/11=9.5454.. turns
step7: 105/11=9.5454.. turns
step8: approx 4.75 turns
step9: approx 4.75 turns
step10: 105/11=9.5454.. turns
step11: 105/11=9.5454.. turns
step12: approx 2.3 turns
step13: approx 7.2 turns
step14: 105/11=9.5454.. turns
step15: 105/11=9.5454.. turns

Approximate total turns= ((105/11)*8)+(7.2*2)+(2.3*2)+(4.75*2)

Approximate total turns=104.863636...
Actual total turns=105.

When the sun gear is fixed, the 105 ring gear rotations, gives 60 planet rotations, and 105*(4/15)=28 planet carrier rotations.
 
error in above I think: should be 60*11/4=165 planet rotations and 28*11/4=77 planet carrier rotations.

correction1: for fixed sun gear, when the ring gear rotates 105/11=9.54..
the planet gear rotates 15, this ratio is (105/11)/15=7/11=0.63636..
so if the ring gear rotates 105 times then the planet gear should rotate
105*(11/7)=165 times.

correction2: for fixed sun gear, when the ring gear rotates 105/11=9.54..
the planet gear rotates 15 times, and the planet carrier rotates 7 times.
this gear ratio for the ring to planet carrier is (105/11)/7=15/11=1.3636..
so if the ring gear rotates 105 times, then the planet carrier should rotate
105*(11/15)=77 times.
The gear ratio of the planet carrier to planet gear is 165/77=15/7=2.1428..

gear ratio=1/(1+S/R)=R/(R+S)=A161527/A060753=11/15


Formula for gear ratio=1/(1+S/R)=A161527/A060753=11/15:
A161527(n)=(1/(1+A005867(n)/A053144(n)))*A060753(n+1).
ie: for n=5: A161527(5)=(1/(1+A005867(5)/A053144(5)))*A060753(5+1).
61=(1/(1+480/1830))*77.
formula simplifies to:
A161527(n)=(A053144(n)*A060753(n+1))/A002110(n)
ie. 61=(1830*77)/2310.
