That is very well implemented indeed! Something I think would be interesting
would be a measure of the strength of a particular combination before the
gears either crunch or break - for example I am sure that the strongest
combination of gears is two sixteen teeth ones in a perfect mesh, and I
suspect that even two sixteen gears in an imperfect mesh would be stronger
than a setup involving one or more 8 tooth gears in a perfect mesh.
Of course, this would mean testing gears to destruction with a torque
measuring device which may not be kosher for everyone :-)

| (...) I think creating dissagreement is the quickest and most surefire way of generating a reply, consider this proof :-). I would think a pair 40 tooths gears would be the strongest set up. I've never broken either combination so I have no proof. I (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

| I agree about the 8 tooth pinions. I usually use two of them where ever I can to keep from breaking them. They're especially weak because they're undercut. We don't have to destructively test LEGO® parts to create such a table though. There are (...) (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

| The recent postings about gear meshings inspired me to add a new page to my site for gear meshings. It's pretty simple; select two gears and a tolerance and you get a table with all possible stud/plate combinations that'll do the trick. As soon as (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)
