DESIGN: ElectrotorPlus ~ MRGA - Reducer - Lubrication

• Consider having the oil reservoir high in the unused area above the gears. A 'pump' at the bottom scavenges the oil and puts it in the reservoir. Perhaps this means that the rotors should not be run at high speed until sufficient time has lapsed for the pool of oil at the bottom to be removed by the pump.
• An alternative might be to have the rotorhub act as the reservoir, be made out of aluminum, and have veins for strength and cooling. The reservoir must probably be below the lower rotation seal.
