The number of gondolas on a Ferris wheel depends on the size and strength of the wheel and the motor that turns it. The Ferris wheel built for the Paris Exposition in 1890 had 36 gondolas, each capable of carrying 30 people. Smaller Ferris wheels used at county fairs may have only about a dozen seats, each large enough to hold only two or three people.

The ferris wheel was invented for the 1893 world fair, by George Ferris Jr.The Ferris wheel was invented in 1893.Also know as a observation wheel, or big wheel it was designed and constructed in 1893 by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. in Chicaho.
A round barred circular wheel with seats inside the ovals In fact it is not '''''any''''' kind of Ferris Wheel. Named after the American engineer who invented it, a Ferris Wheel # runs in a vertical plane, # on an axle in a horizontal plane, and # the axle is supported at each end. None of these three conditions apply to the London Eye.
There are 25 seats in each of the Eye's 32 capsules (800 seats total).
The Ferris wheel The first ferris wheel was designed by George W. Ferris, a bridge-builder from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was considered an engineering wonder: two 140-foot steel towers supported the wheel; they were connected by a 45-foot axle, the largest single piece of forged steel ever made up until that time. The wheel section had a diameter of 250 feet and a circumference of 825 feet. Two 1000-horsepower reversible engines powered the ride. Thirty-six wooden cars held up to sixty riders each. The ride cost fifty cents and made $726,805.50 during the World's Fair. The original Ferris Wheel was destroyed in 1906, but there are other ferris wheels at theme parks and carnivals everywhere.
The London Eye is a giant Ferris Wheel so doesn't have any floors as such. However, it has 32 pods or capsules, each with a floor.

Depends on the circumference of the driven wheel, and whether there's a gear ratio between the pedals and the wheel. Let's say you have a 45 tooth chainring and a 15 tooth sprocket - that means that the rear wheel will spin 3 turns for each turn of the pedals. If you then have a rear wheel with a 2 m circumference, then the bike will travel 6 m for each turn of the pedals.
In each revolution, the wheel would advance 2 x pi x radius. Multiply this by the number of revolutions.
