I'm pairing with my math teacher to do a lesson on ratios and energy transfer. The students are currently learning about energy in my class and ratios in math.

I want to make sure I'm about to explain this correctly.

For example you get 4.88s by dividing the number of teeth on the ring by the number on the pinion.

So for evey 4 turns of the drive shaft or yoke the ring rotates .88 of a full turn?


Also anyone in the concord or kernsville area have a busted third member that is still together I could borrow for the lesson so the students can actually see it spin slowly?

That's the 4.xx portion of the ratio. So
it takes 4.xx turns of the pinion to turn the ring 1 turn.

I happen to have a busted JK44 4.56 gear you can have if you want it. I'll ship it to for a big bag of Twizzlers.
That's not a quid pro quo though.

Thank you that makes alot more sense.

I'm picking up some old gears from chris on sunday. We are knocking out this lesson on monday.
