: What are Gears and what is their role in the engines of cars?
In: Engineering
The transmission transmits power from the engine to the wheels, this is where the gearbox is. You know how the RPM meter in your dash shows how many thousands of times the engine pistons are spinning per minute? The tires arent spinning at that same rate, theyre not spinning 2000-8000+ times per minute. Different size gears can turn a 1000rpm spin to a 200rpm spin if the second gear is 5x larger.
