Gear Trains. Instructor: Dan Frey. This video leads students through using linear algebra to model a gear train. This is achieved by modeling each rigid gear body as a system of 3 equations,
the input and output gears as one linear equation each, and then modeling the connection between gears as another linear equation derived from Newton's second law. The resulting matrix is explored for consistency and design elements.
