AGMA Gain a solid and fundamental understanding of gear geometry, types and arrangements, and design principles. Starting with the basic definitions of gears, conjugate motion, and the Laws of Gearing, learn the tools needed to understand the inter-relation and coordinated motion operating within gear pairs and multi-gear trains. Basic gear system design process and gear measurement and inspection techniques will also be explained. In addition, the fundamentals of understanding the step-wise process of working through the iterative design process required to generate a gear pair will be reviewed. Learn the steps and issues involved in design refinement and some manufacturing considerations. As explanation of basic gear measurement techniques, how measurement equipment and test machines implement these techniques, and how to interpret the results from these basic measurements will also be covered.

Futurism Aside from "recumbent bicycles" there hasn’t been too much innovation in the cycling field. Sure, certain materials have made bikes lighter-weight or faster, but the fundamental structure of a bicycle has never been drastically altered. That is, until Halfbike. Halfbike has fundamentally re-imagined the 200-year old transportation technology that we have come known as a "bicycle."
