On a bicycle, as seen from the right(drive) side, the chainwheel(s) and the sprocket(s) and the chain will be rotating clockwise. If the bike has a rear derailer the tension pulley will also be rotating clockwise while the guide pulley will be rotating counter-clockwise. If the bike has an internally geared hub the gears inside there can rotate in different directions (or not at all) depending on what gear the bike is in.

How do you shift gears on Recumbent bike EZ3 trike 21 gears under seat steering?
According to the pics I've found it looks like it has gripshifters. They sit like a barrel on the handles and you shift gears by turning them. Avoid cross-chaining, which means that you shouldn't run the chain on big-big or small-small sprockets. External gears needs to be turning to shift, but try not to press with full force when shifting.
Where can you buy gears and sprockets locally?
No way to answer that w/o knowing where you live.
When a chain connects two sprockets they turn in opposite directions?

What type of gear is a bike?
Pretty much all bikes qualify as chain and sprocket gear systems, and the ones with internal gears also have planetary gears inside their hubs. There are also two systems available that puts planetary gears in the crank assembly. Well, if it has an internally geared hub it has a more or less complicated set of planetary gears(depending on the no of gears). If it has experna gears then it has front set of sprockets and a rear set of sprockets. By running the chain over these sprockets in different combinations you get different ratios that can be used depending on how hard the rider wants to pedal.
What is the advantage of using chain gears over spur gears?
instead of the whels turning in opposite directions they turn in the same direction!! source:I'm in a Gateway pre-ap 8th grade robotics class
How are bicycle gears and sprockets related?
A sprocket is another name for a toothed wheel that meshes with the chain.

How much gears are in the chain of a BMX stunt bike?
A chain is a chain, it hasn't got any gears in it. But if you run it across a pair of sprockets you can create a gearing ratio.
Where are gears located on a bike?
10-speed can mean two things these days. Either it's an old bike, with two chainrings up by the pedals and five sprockets on the rear hub. (2x5 = 10) Or it's a newer bike, with one chain ring and ten sprockets on the rear hub. Whichever it is, those are the gears.
When was With Windmills Turning Wrong Directions created?

How do sprockets work in a Car?
there are no sprockets on a carFeel free to correct me but I believe cars with timing chains have sprockets. Anyway, typical sprockets would be the gear-like pulleys that a bicycle chain runs on. They are considered different from gears in that they do not mesh directly, but use a chain or other device to connect them.Also I believe the power window feature of a car uses a sproket assembly.
What are the three gears referred to that are attached to the back wheel?
If they're all inside the hub they're called internal gears, and consist of something mechanics refer to as "planetary" gears. If they are toothed discs that sit outside the hub they're called sprockets. The whole assembly is either a multi-speed freewheel. or a "cassette" for a freehub. It'd be very rare to find one of those with only 3 sprockets.
