Learning About Gears

Today in class began learning about mechanisms with a focus on gears. 

So we are going to be mainly working with gears

So say you have a gear with 8 teeth and a gear with 24 gears. For every one turn of the 8 tooth gear, the 24 gear turns 1/3 of the total distance. 

Another thing to take into consideration is friction- the more gears in a gear box the more friction that that will be created.
