AXLE
What is it?
The axle is a long skinny rod that attaches to the center of a
wheel, gear, or pulley. When the axle turns, whatever is
attached to it also turns. This makes it possible to transfer
rotational motion from one axle to another with gears or pulleys.
Give me an example!
In the picture above, you'll see a good example of how axles
can work together with gears and pulleys to get your project rolling!
