Sonversion ratios of speed and tourqe

Torque http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever. Yeah you can an internal combustion engine uses this principle. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/towing/towing-capacity/information/fpte4.htm

So F=Mass*Acceleration provided by the combustion of Fuel.

r is the distance from the fulcrum.

p is linear momentum

l is the angular momentum

The diagram http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque doesn't take friction into account http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum

The example there would only be a one-stroke engine instead of two, three or four. etc

Normally all the pistons and gears are tied to a central gear we call the camshaft. The image for the 2 stroke engine needs to be refreshed it's throwing an error if you try to access their image from a url.

Hi Scilight, welcome here!

 

Yes, gears usually serve to trade speed against torque.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear

 

The product of angular speed (then in radians per second) and torque gives a power, which the gear transmits (minus 1-3% losses in reasonably good cases) from one shaft to the other, so what is gained on torque or speed is lost on speed or torque.
