Functioning ‘mechanical gears’ seen in nature for the first time (2013)
I understand that the 'gears' synchronize the jump, but can this be considered 'mechanical gears', if it is not a completely independent system where the energy of one gear is being transmitted to the other?
Can it be a gear if it does not make a complete 360 degrees rotation? what defines a gear? if there were 3 teeth, does it define a gear?
