Description
The Gear models an ideal gearbox with two shafts rotating in the same direction. The fast-moving shaft is marked with a dot. The relation between the torques and angular speeds of the two shafts is described with the following equations:

Parameters
- Gear ratio
- The gearbox ratio
. A negative gearbox ratio will cause the shafts to rotate in opposite directions.
