Gears and pulleys in non-Euclidean space forms

Differential Geometry 2024-03-11 v1 Metric Geometry

Abstract

In this article we study, in their non-Euclidean versions, two important mechanical systems that are very common in numerous devices. More precisely, we study the laws governing the movement of pulley and gear systems in spherical and hyperbolic geometries. And curiously, we were able to see an interesting similarity between the determined laws.
