If gear 1 fits into the internal gear and is made to rotate, will the internal gear rotate with gear 1?

Will the Internal Gear Rotate with Gear 1? - Gear Rotation Question
In summary, the conversation discusses the rotation of gears, where gear 1 is fitted into the internal gear and made to rotate. It is determined that the internal gear, which has 9 teeth, will rotate 4 times for every 3 rotations of the external gear, which has 12 teeth. The exact shape of the teeth is also mentioned as an important factor. The conversation also mentions the preferred method of uploading pictures to the post.

Yes - allowing for corrections to your artwork.
Since the internal gear has 9 teeth and the outside gear has 12 teeth, the inside gear will turn 4 times for each 3 time the outside gear turns.
Since they are so close (9 and 12), the exact shape of the teeth will be critical.

Please upload that picture to the post, rather than sending us to an external website like imagur. Use the UPLOAD button in the post editor, down next to POST REPLY and PREVIEW.
1. Will the Internal Gear Rotate in the Same Direction as Gear 1?
Yes, the internal gear will rotate in the same direction as gear 1. This is because both gears are meshed together and their teeth are interlocked, causing them to move in sync.
2. Does the Size of the Internal Gear Affect its Rotation with Gear 1?
No, the size of the internal gear does not affect its rotation with gear 1. As long as the gears are properly meshed, their size does not impact their movement.
3. Can the Internal Gear Rotate at Different Speeds than Gear 1?
Yes, the internal gear can rotate at different speeds than gear 1. This is possible by changing the number of teeth on each gear or by using a different gear ratio.
4. Will the Internal Gear Always Rotate with Gear 1?
No, the internal gear will not always rotate with gear 1. This depends on the gear ratio and the direction of rotation. In some cases, the internal gear may remain stationary while gear 1 rotates.
5. What Happens if the Internal Gear and Gear 1 Have Different Numbers of Teeth?
If the internal gear and gear 1 have different numbers of teeth, they may rotate at different speeds or in opposite directions. This is because the gear ratio will be affected, causing a change in the rotational movement.
