TRANSMISSION BY GEARS

A gear is a mechanism which is used to give power from a component to another one inside a machine. It's formed by a driver wheel, which normally is the smallest, and it's the fastest, and a higher wheel, that moves when the small one moves and it's the slowest. They make a big force with the "teeth" and they do a clockwise motion, but if you wanna change that, you can put another gear in the middle, which is called the "idler" and makes an anticlockwise motion. Here I leave you how do they work.
