All my gears have the same tooth size but if they didn't they could still mesh, just increase the gap between them

I have many plastic gears but doesn't the number of teeth determine the ratio but the space between them too/the diameter of the gear you can have a 1 cm diameter gear and a 3 cm diameter gear but they can still have the same amount of teeth

How about if there's 2 of the same gear both connected to the same driven gear, however one of the driver gears has a tooth missing per every 2 teeth so there - missing - there -missing etc the teeth should align still with the gear that has all the teeth present right? this is sort of what I am...

Hi, If I put an 8 tooth on axle A and meshed a 12 tooth on axle B then I put a 16 tooth on axle A and meshed a 20 tooth on axle B but the 16 and 20 have the equivalent angular velocity/tooth profile will it rotate properly or will it jam due to the two gear sets going at different speeds...
