...nah, not really.
Should have saved that for April Fools Day.
What a waste of a good potential troll! 🙁
I hope you are haunted by the ghost of David Taylforth, OP.
If you had a 2:1 ratio you could have an egg shaped rear gear.

Haha, yep.
I do enjoy a good oval discussion, I had all my arguments ready! 🙁
Bin there, done that (sort of) had a pair of oval rings on a gearbox bike
If you had an oval cassette and oval rings could they cancel each other out?

They would...sometimes. I'm beginning to see something of the weakness in the design here...

Or could the effects multiply? It would be like constructive/destructive interference, could make for some interesting accelerations when you're least expecting it 😀
A fully oval singlespeed set up would be easier to do but also suffer the same problems.
Bin dun on here with a synchronised ring and cog that looked fun. Can’t remember who it bel9nged to.

Assuming a 1:1 gear ratio though. Or a 2:1 ratio with an actual ovoid ring (not oval) I suppose could work.
Would it be like riding e-bike in turbo mode as you drop in half a pedal stroke into a corner?.
Years ago I ran a SS bike with a Biopace front chain ring.
By the time I retired the build the rear sprocket had taken the form of the front ring - oval.
Think of me as a trailblazer.
