Simple Gearbox

A Basic Gearbox Explanation Gearboxes are mechanical devices that transmit power from an engine to a vehicle's wheels, allowing for different gear ratios to achieve varying speeds and torque. In simple terms, they enable a car to accelerate smoothly and efficiently by altering the rotation speed of the engine. A common example of a simple gearbox is a bicycle, which uses gears on its chainring and cassette to change its gear ratio. This allows cyclists to pedal easily uphill or maintain high speeds on flat terrain.
