A hub dynamo is more efficient, and don't cause sidewall wear as the bottle dynamos do. ANd they give power to bike lights w/o having to bother with batteries.

Do bicycles have worm gears?

No. Bicycles with external gears have chain-and-sprocket gears. Bicycles with internally geared hubs have both a chain-and-sprocket gear and spur gears (usually in a planetary configuration) inside the rear hub. Then there are the rather rare shaft-drive bicycles, which use bevel gears. And maybe an internally geared hub as well. Then there's the occasional belt drive bike of course. And one or two CVT designs.


Back pedal braking system for bicycles?

Usually called a coaster brake. It's built into the rear hub and can't be added later - unless you replace the whole hub.
