Abstract: A coaxial gear set comprising: a crankshaft which can be rotated about an axis of rotation and has at least one connecting rod bearing; and multiple, preferably at least three, pistons, each connected to the crankshaft by means of a connecting rod and which each have a toothing with at least one tooth on a first end face facing away from the axis of rotation. The coaxial gear set also comprises: a hollow shaft having internal toothing, wherein the pistons are located inside the hollow shaft when viewed in a plane normal to the axis of rotation; and a guide unit, wherein the pistons are each linearly guided 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 successively brought into meshing engagement with the internal toothing and out of meshing engagement with said internal toothing.
