How To Calculate Gear Ratios: Torque, RPM, & Mechanical Advantage

Learn the fundamental principles of gear ratios to calculate torque, speed, and mechanical advantage for any project. ⤵️ Why Watch? Ever wondered how a small motor can lift a heavy object, or how a bicycle lets you climb a steep hill? It all comes down to gears. In this video, we break down the simple yet powerful math behind gear systems. Using practical examples with 3D printed gears, you'll learn how to easily calculate gear ratios and understand what that means for your output torque and speed (RPM). We'll also cover the often-overlooked factor of efficiency and see how stacking gears in a gear train can create massive mechanical advantage. 🔧 1:1 CONSULTING Book a time → https://cal.com/brogan-pratt-a4gcx7 ⚙️ Hardware: The Best PETG Filament: https://amzn.to/4mnNloY As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
