Talk:Gear ratio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article states "In the picture, each time the 13 teeth of the smaller gear make a revolution, 21 teeth of the larger gear make exactly one revolution." This statement is misleading or confusing. Each time 13 teeth of the smaller gear make a revolution, the larger gear has made 13/21 of a revolution.

It is not clear in this article which gear is applying power to the other. Can somebody clarify?

[edit] "Example" section

I accidently saved my edit before I meant to, so I didn't get to write a complete comment. I'll simply comment here, and be wordier about it!

The example section was incorrect about a few points and in places where it was correct, it was not a very good "example" (it was not representative of a realistic car). I've replaced it with a bit of an analysis of the gearing in a C5 Corvette Z06. I thought using an actual car would make the section more interesting.

It WAS based on an actual car; the Saab 96 - but you would be too young to know... MH 16:07, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

I think I've written up some pretty good information, but rereading it, it's really dry. It also needs wikification, and it uses all Imperial measurements. I'd like to fix this later, but if anyone gets to it first, please go at it! TomTheHand 18:33, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia should use metric/SI units by default! MH 16:07, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
