Gears Explained - mechanical engineering

The video tutorial explains the basics of gear operation, focusing on the relationship between gear size, speed, and torque. It uses examples like bicycles and cars to illustrate how different gears affect movement. The concept of torque is explained with practical examples, such as using a wrench. The tutorial also covers gear ratios, direction of rotation, and introduces compound gear trains, explaining how they can be used to manipulate speed and torque efficiently.
