Answers.Body: <p>You cannot increase the output speed by 24 times using a classical gear system, and the gear teeth you specified, because 24 is not a product you can make from 2, 4, 8, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125.</p>
  
  <p>You CAN, however make a CVT, which takes two input speeds and divides them to give an output.</p>

Comments.Text: This is binary arithmetic at heart, you have powers of two tooth counts in your question (but you can't get those from Lego) and since 24 isn't a power of two it's going to take a non-trivial mechanism to get it. You could use a brick-built differential, for example... except where do the gears come from.
