Gears

Try out gear trains


and record your observations.

Two 16 tooth gears only mesh with themselves and go the same speed and different direction.

This snail car has such a long compound gear train that it hardly moves.


Get at least three different gear trains.

A different size idler does not make a difference in speed.
