Sandbox
Trade speed for force.
Gears are a deal: give up speed, get twisting force, or the other way round. Build any train you like, pick the motor and the output, and see the deal it makes.
About this sandbox
Build a gear train: add gears of any size, drag them into mesh, stack them on one shaft, and choose the motor and the output. Speed, direction and twisting force are worked out through the whole train.
Things to try
- Make a 27 to 1 compound train.
- Add an idler gear and see only the direction change.
- Put three gears in a ring and watch it jam.
