Understanding the basics prinicples of gears

Building on yesterday's post about how to make wooden gears and last week's video post about time, gears, and how clocks work, here is another great educational video from hilaroad.com . This one covers gear basics, various gear types, and sprockets, as well as showing some impressive real-world applications for gears.

I couldn't find the nifty combination spur/bevel gears he uses in the video, but the gears in Superstructs Gears Expansion Pack look like they mesh side-by-side or at right angles to each other, so could be used to replicate some of the demonstrations in the video.
