Description
The physical principle behind gears revolves around the transmission and conversion of forces and movement between different parts of a mechanism. In many machines and devices, gears transmit movements
The gears on your bike make it easier for you to cycle up the mountain. In a food processor, gears make the mixer rotate.
In many cars and bikes, gears drive the gears. In machines and robots, gears provide various functions such as: transmission of force, acceleration and deceleration, direction change and accuracy/control.
