It doesn't work that way. The gear ratio determines what speed the vehicle is running at when in the (torque) powerband.

When you use a gear with a small diameter to drive a gear with a large diameter what is increased speed or torque?

Torque is increased on the larger, driven gear. The increase can be calculated as the ratio of the radii of the two gears. For example, if the small gear has a radius of 2 cm and the larger gear has a radius of 10 cm, the torque ratio is 10/2 (ten to two), or 5/1 (five to one). So the driven gear is producing 5 times the torque of the driving gear. The speed ratio is the reverse; the driven gear is rotating at 1/5 the speed of the driving gear.

When should a driver will use the 2?

Driver use gear 'L' or '2' when driving uphill or downhill which required higher gear ratio to move the uphill. Downhill wise, driver use '2' or 'L' for safety purpose. The low gear ratio will use the high gear ratio to slow down the speed of driving downhill and creating 'pulling' force on your car to safety purposes. Gear '2' can be use for overtaking on the highway too provided at the appropriate speed.

How can you use a robot for a science fair project?

my idea is you build to robots that can lift weights, but use different gear ratios to experiment which gear ratio is stronger and which is faster.


Why use different gear sizes to get same gear ratio?

The gear ratio is the ratio of the number of teeth in the cogs, so 10 and 20 teeth produces the same effect as 20 and 40. As for why you'd use different sizes, it can depend on the size of the case or housing of whatever transmission, differential, drivetrain, etc. that is involved. Obviously, you'd use larger gears so they can withstand heavier use.


How do you use the word gear in a sentence?

When you are driving there are gears that you can switch to.Hope this helps. :)Prior to replacement I consider the possibility of changing the gear ratios: could you use a higher gear?If the 4th gear ratio is too low ( high number ) then it will limit the speed the scooter can achieve.If you need a lower gear ratio the hub allows you to fit a larger rear sprocket, and vise versa.These also work. :)


How does gear ratio use function?

gear ratio can speed up a device or slow it down. The gears that make up the gear ratio can be used to go from small to bigger thru a series of gears and slow the drive down , say 30 to 1. Or start off with large gears going smaller and speed up the drive say 1 to 30.

What gear ratio would you use to get enough torque and speed to achieve that fastest time?

The gear ratio for top gear is chosen to produce maximum speed, which occurs at a speed where the engine's maximum power is take up with maintaining a constant speed (on the level). For cars the overall ratio for top gear is 3.5 to 4.5 : 1. For example, if the engine's maximum power is 100 bhp at 6300 rpm, and that power can drive the car at the maximum speed of 110 mph, the overall ratio is chosen to give 6300 rpm at 110 mph.
