In 2024, the British Gear Association (BGA) were excited to fund a Research Project on “Non-Involute Gear Testing.” This initiative, launched by BGA member Dontyne Gears, attracted considerable attention when presented at the GEARS 2024 conference. Feedback from delegates showed there was desire for a deeper exploration of the project and results.
