 ====== Overview ======
-Gears are one of those mechanical devices that everybody knows how they work, but until you need to incorporate on into your next project, you usually don't know the details behind all the theory of gear design. Gears are a fundamental simple machine that provide mechanical advantage, trading rotational speed for rotational force (or "torque").

+Inkscape [[https://inkscape.org/en/|https://inkscape.org/en/]]
+Is a vector-drawing program that ships with a basic gear generation extension built in. Given that Inkscape is more "Art-centric" than mechanical design, it's use is good for a stating point, but you'll often have to import the result into another editor to tweak the resulting model.
