The goal of this series of laboratories was once again to introduce thestudents slowly to the theory behind their design and then to progress towards morecomplex concepts. The first of these laboratories dealt with gear trains. This ‘Gear Lab’focused solely on teaching students gear train construction principles and techniques.The student design teams built and tested static gear trains to lift a set amount of weightwith a pulley. The students’ goal was to lift the weight a set distance as quickly aspossible, and teams that performed well were rewarded with bonus points. The simplegear trains built by the
