Thank you for your support!

This model gearbox is a great way to fidget and better understand how gear ratios work.

 

This gear ratio is roughly 1:243. For every time the first gear spins, the final gear will spin 243 times! Interestingly, the slowest gear has a lot of torque and requires more effort to slow down, but the fastest gear has less torque and is effortless to stop. 

 

You'll see that there is a hand crank, but you may also use your fingers to move the gears.

 

 

Assembly Steps: 

 

  1. Insert the handle into the hole near the top and connect it with the small gear. 
  2. Insert the screws
  3. Slide the spacers and 5 gears onto the screw(see below)
  4. Put the nut on the end of the screw that is sticking out
