The "gear" of a bicycle relates to the mechanical advantage of the whole drive system. In a low gear, the pedals are easy to turn, but you don’t have to spin very fast to get any speed up. In a high gear, the pedals are hard to turn, but you have to spin very fast to get any speed up. In a high gear, the pedals are hard to turn, but you don’t have to make them turn very fast to make the bicycle go fast... The gear of a bicycle depends on the ratio between the sizes of front and rear sprockets, and the size of the drive wheel. 3, record 1, English, - gear

Diesel and electric loaders of the LHD(load-haul-dump) variety are high in productivity and have greater flexibility and lower maintenance costs than rail systems... Today's LHDs are long, low-profile units with four-wheel drive and equal speed in forward and reverse directions. They have center articulation for good tracking and maneuverability on the tight turns found underground. Bucket linkages are usually simplified, with only one bucket cylinder on small-capacity models. Brake systems are generally all-hydraulic, and power drive to all four wheels is through a torque converter with full powershift transmission. Bucket capacities range from 1 to 15 cu yd. 7, record 3, English, - load%2Dhaul%2Ddump

Un chargeur-transporteur sur pneus est équipé d'un moteur Diesel ou électrique, et est muni à l'avant d'un large godet poussé par les quatre roues motrices dans le tas abattu. La machine recule en soulevant le godet chargé et va le déverser à quelques centaines de mètres. Le quartier en exploitation est débarrassé de la sujétion aux convoyeurs ou à la voie ferrée. La puissance de ces machines, qui va de pair avec leur encombrement, reste limitée par la dimension des galeries; dans les meilleures conditions, en souterrain, on peut atteindre des puissances de 400 kW et des charges utiles de 20 t. 5, record 3, French, - chargeur%2Dtransporteur

The major competitor of the propeller system is the vertical-axis Darrieus rotor. This is a lift device having curved blades with airfoil cross sections. Darrieus rotors have low starting torques but high tip speed ratios and, therefore, relatively high power outputs for their weight and cost. They are very efficient, but are not self-starting. Hence the machine is connected to a utility grid so that the generator can drive the rotor to a self-sustaining speed or is hybridized with a self-starting, but less-efficient Savonius rotor. 1, record 5, English, - hybrid%20Darrieus%2DSavonius%20rotor
