Application of gears: - JSS2 Basic science Lesson Note

Gears are used in a wide range of applications across various industries:

Automotive: Gears are vital components in transmissions, helping to change the speed and torque of the engine to the wheels.

Industrial machinery: Gears are used in manufacturing equipment, conveyor systems, and various other machines to control motion and power transmission.

Robotics: Gears are employed in robotic systems to control movement and power distribution, enabling precise and efficient operations.

Aerospace: Gears are used in aircraft engines and landing gear systems to control the movement of flaps, landing gears, and other mechanisms.

Consumer electronics: Gears are used in devices like printers, cameras, and watches to control mechanisms such as paper feeding, lens focusing, and timekeeping.

Renewable energy: Gears play a crucial role in wind turbines and solar tracking systems, helping to convert natural energy into electricity efficiently.
