[[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.]]

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.
