Fundamental Law of GearingFunctionally, a gearset is a device to exchange torque for velocity

P=Tωthe angular velocity ratio of the gears of a gearset must remain constant throughout

shafts in close proximitywhen mv does not need to be too large

Use third gear (“idler”) only for directional reasons (not for gear reduction)
