Claim 0:
1. A coaxial gear set, comprising:
a crankshaft rotatable about an axis of rotation and having at least one connecting rod bearing, wherein the at least one connecting rod bearing is formed as at least one crank pin,
the coaxial gear set further comprising a plurality of pistons which pistons are connected to the at least one connecting rod bearing by means of a connecting rod in each case, wherein each piston is articulated to a respective connecting rod via a movable bearing and is rotatably connected to a connecting rod eye of the respective connecting rod via a piston pin, wherein each connecting rod is movably mounted on the at least one connecting rod bearing, and each piston comprises, on a first end face facing away from the axis of rotation, a toothing with at least one tooth,
the coaxial gear set further comprising a hollow shaft with internal toothing, wherein the pistons are arranged inside the hollow shaft when viewed in a plane normal to the axis of rotation, and
the coaxial gear set further comprising a guide unit, wherein the pistons are each guided linearly in the guide unit and can be moved back and forth parallel to a radial direction normal to the axis of rotation, as a result of which the toothings of the first end faces of the pistons can be brought successively into meshing engagement with the internal toothing and into a state detached from the internal toothing, in order to further rotate the hollow shaft or the guide unit about the axis of rotation during the respective meshing engagement with planar contact between the respective toothing and the internal toothing.
