How do the hands on a clock turn?
They are turned by a gear train, which in turn is driven by a spring-driven, weight-driven, or electric motor. Their direction of rotation is normally clockwise when viewing the clock's "face".
How do cars get to dealerships?
They're transported by truck, rail, a combination of both, or sometimes they are driven.
Can you use the word electricallly in a sentence?
The air seemed to be electrically charged with emotion. The model train is electrically driven.
Do rollercoasters have engines?
if you mean on the train, then no, rollercoasters aren't driven by engines. they are mostly driven by gravity. But, if it's launched , then it does use an engine to accelarate, but only the first part. the only other motor on a rollercoaster is the motor that drives the chain lift, provided that it has one. none of these however, are on the train (where you sit/stand while riding)

How is the Simple Gear Train with Idler used?
A simple gear train with idler is a gear train the contains 3 gears. These gears are called the driver, idler, and driven or follower. The idler merely changes the direction of the follower so that it is the same as the driver.
How does a gear train work?
A number of gears grouped into a single unit is called 'gear train'.If two gear's in mesh eg, a drive gear and a driven gear also constitute a gear train which are called simple gear train and in the simplest form.simple gear train may have more than two gear's.compound,epicyclic,reverted are some other types of gear train's.
Can you use dynamo in train to save electricity?
Yes, dynamic braking uses a dynamo to save energy when the train slows down. Normal brakes, using brake shoes on the wheels, get hot and waste the train's kinetic energy to the air. Instead, a dynamo produces a braking effect and at the same time sends the energy either into a battery or back into the train's overhead supply. An electrically driven train's driving motor can be used instead of a separate dynamo.
How does the size of the gears in a gear train affect speed and force?
If the driving wheel has more number of teeth, and the driven wheel has less number of teeth then there will be a gain in SPEED .If the number of tooth in the driver is less in the driving wheel and there is more number of tooth in the driven wheel , there will be a gain in TORQUE.
