Any power plant that uses more than a single steam turbine as a prime mover. It could be a power plant, or a ship for instance. They use a compound gear train to get everything going the same way at the same time and at the same speed.

What is simple gear train and compound gear train?
A simple gear train is basically the same as a compound gear train, but the compound gear train usually has more gears closer together. Hope this was useful, and way better than the previous answer (ha ha!! I'm looking for that too! tell me when you find out!!).
Why might compound gear train be better than two gears alone?
Because the speed is decreased less from an equal gear ratio.
What is the formula to get the gear ratio of a compound planetary gear train?
Determine the ratio's of the simple gears in the train and multiply them together for the final ratio. Ex: You have two simple gears in the train one of a 3:1 and the othe is 5:1. 3:1 X 5:1 = 15:1
Why might you have a gear train with three gears?
Because an idler gear may be needed.
What are the application of Epicyclic gear train?
An application of an epicyclic gear train is to monitor the motion of the planets. A reverted epicyclic transmission was used in the Model T Ford from 1908 to 1927.

What is the difference between simple and compound gear train?
simple move slower
What is a compound gear?
A compound gear train connects gears that may share axles or shafts, basically two gears rotating on the same axle, not necessarily at the same speed.
What is the deferent between gear and gear train?
When gear is explained in connection with gear train, it is an individual member of a gear train. That is a gear train a power transmision system containing two or more gears.
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.

What type of gear train is used in automatic transmission of an automobile?
epicyclic gear train
Does gear train provide a force advantage or speed advantage and explain?
Gear Train Advantage Arnel Dela Cruz Does gear train provide a force advantage or speed advantage and explain? Make it shortly A gear train can provide a force advantage or a speed advantage, depending on the arrangement of the gears. When the input gear has a smaller radius than the output gear, the gear train provides a force advantage, as the output gear will rotate more slowly but with greater torque. This is known as a gear reduction. Conversely, when the input gear has a larger radius than the output gear, the gear train provides a speed advantage, as the output gear will rotate more quickly but with less torque. This is known as a gear increase or gear multiplier.
What are the uses of a gear train?
Either to increase speed and reduce torque or to decrease speed and increase torque while conserving mechanical energy.
Does the smaller gear in a gear train move the same distance as the larger gear?
No it does not.
