// Spur Gear
// A rotating machine part having cut teeth or, in the case of a cogwheel, inserted teeth (called cogs), which mesh with another toothed part to transmit torque. Geared devices can change the speed, torque, and direction of a power source. The two elements that define a gear are its circular shape and the teeth that are integrated into its outer edge, which are designed to fit into the teeth of another gear.
