Gears are wheels with teeth. Gears mesh together and make things turn. Gears are used to transfer motion or power from one moving part to another.

• True
• False

A connected source of rotating gears

• Follower Gear
• Driver Gear
• Gear Train
• Idler Gear

Drives or turns the follower "driven" gear; it is usually connected to a power source such as a motor.

• Follower Gear
• Driver Gear
• Gear Train
• Idler Gear

If the driver gear has more teeth than the follower gear, the follower gear turns more quickly than the driver which means the gear train is gearing up resulting in more speed and less torque. That is called...

• Gearing Up
• Gearing Down

Number of teeth in follower or "driven" gear/ Number of teeth in driver is how you find out the gear ratio.

• True
• False
