What is the best way to identify a cog for my project?

- Cog
In summary, a cog is a gear used in mechanical systems to transfer motion and power between two rotating shafts. It is circular with teeth around the edge and a central hole, and comes in different types such as spur, helical, bevel, and worm cogs. The size of a cog is determined by its diameter and number of teeth, and you can seek help from a mechanical engineer or specialist if you are having trouble identifying it.

Yea, LEGO gears 
But really, I would imagine that in a 'real' application, you would have to have a separate bevel gear (90*) and spur gear (same plane). These could possibly both be hobbed from a single piece, making an integral unit, however you would need to leave enough clearance between the blanks for the hobbing tool, so the part would likely be kinda big relative to the size of the gears.

What is a cog and why is it important?
A cog is a type of gear that is used in mechanical systems to transfer motion and power between two rotating shafts. It is important because it allows for efficient and precise movement in machines.
How do I identify a cog?
Cogs can be identified by their circular shape with teeth around the edge and a central hole. They also often have a flat or grooved surface.
What are the different types of cogs?
There are several different types of cogs including spur, helical, bevel, and worm cogs. Each type has a different shape and is used for different purposes.
How do I know what size cog I need?
The size of a cog is determined by its diameter and number of teeth. To determine the size you need, measure the diameter of the shafts it will be connecting and make sure the cog has the appropriate number of teeth to fit the shafts.
Where can I find help identifying a cog?
If you are having trouble identifying a cog, you can consult a mechanical engineer or a specialist in mechanical systems. They will have the knowledge and expertise to help you identify the cog and determine its function. You can also search online for resources or ask for assistance in online communities or forums.
