How Gear Reduction Works
Gears can slow down a rotation. This is called gear reduction. Let's see how it works.
10 Teeth and 20 Teeth
Let's use a small gear with 10 teeth to turn a big gear with 20 teeth.
Turn the small gear once
When the small gear turns once, the big gear it meshes with moves by 10 teeth. That's 10 out of 20, or half a turn.
1/2
The small gear has to turn twice before the big gear turns once. The speed is cut in half. That's gear reduction.
2x
In exchange, there's a bonus. The turning force doubles.
A lever effect doubles the force
The teeth push with the same force, but the big gear's radius is twice as long. Like a lever, pushing farther from the center gives more force.
Trade Speed for Force
Give up half the speed, and you get twice the turning force. That's how gear reduction works.
Create 3D explainer videos like this sample from your documents and chat
Just attach product documents, drawings, or CAD data and tell the AI in chat what video you want. The AI plans the storyboard, builds the 3D scenes, and turns it into a video with narration and captions. You pay only for what you use (a rough guide is about 3,500 credits for a 1-minute video with 2 small revisions).
