What is a gear wheel?

A toothed wheel that engages another toothed mechanism in order to change the speed or direction of transmitted motion is called a gear wheel.

How do gear wheels work?

Gears are wheels with teeth that slot together. When one gear is turned the other one turns as well. If the gears are of different sizes, they can be used to increase the power of a turning force. The smaller wheel turns more quickly but with less force, while the bigger one turns more slowly with more force.
