[[File:Large_gear_setup_3.png|400px|thumb|right|More complex setup with two large gears. Torque from sources 1, 2 and 3 is combined by lower gear into a single output (4), which then goes through the upper gear to increase rotational speed at the cost of reducing torque.]] | [[File:Large_gear_setup_3.png|400px|thumb|right|More complex setup with two large gears.

To build complex and efficient power trains it's important to understand relation between ''speed'' and ''torque'', and how they are affected by ''resistance'' of a given mechanical system. | To build complex and efficient power trains it's important to understand relation between ''speed'' and ''torque'', and how they are affected by ''resistance'' of a given mechanical system. | ||

Mechanized or not, querns enable the player to grind grain, as well as some minerals and stones into their processed forms. For mechanized milling, the quern must be attached to a functioning power train.<br> | Mechanized or not, querns enable the player to grind grain, as well as some minerals and stones into their processed forms.

Querns can be automated further with the use of hoppers, chutes and chests. For the full automation guide, see the [[quern]] page. | Querns can be automated further with the use of hoppers, chutes and chests. For the full automation guide, see the [[quern]] page. | ||
