Gear Systems

Gear systems consist of rotating wheels with teeth that interlock to transmit motion and force between shafts. When one gear turns, it causes the connected gear to turn as well, often changing the direction, speed, or torque of motion. By using gears of different sizes, machines can increase force or speed depending on the need. Gear systems are common in devices like clocks, automobiles, and machinery, providing precise control of movement and power transfer. They function efficiently, reducing energy loss, and are fundamental for translating motion in mechanical systems.
