A mechanical computer is a computer that does not use electricity or electrical parts.
The way mechanical computer work is done with gears, levers, and wires. The make up is easy, but the building is complex. There is no way to reprogram a mechanical computer because it’s built out of gears.
Alas, Mihailo Petrovi.
The computer is an analogue computer.
There are a variety of sizes with curved or straight teeth. They transfer motion and force into machines. There are different jobs for different gears. The direction of a power source can be changed by gears.
Internal gears are cylinders with their teeth on the inside. The advantage of having such a gear is that they don’t inverse the rotation direction, so they can be used in applications that require those characteristics.
The group of gears which use intersecting configurations include bevel gears. Changing the direction of motion is a typical application for intersecting gear pairs. There are intersecting axes.
A parallel configuration involves gears connected to rotating shafts on parallel axes. The efficiency of power and motion transmission is high because the rotation of the driving shaft is in the opposite direction to the driven shaft.
