Step 17Gears (optional)
This step is not necessary, but is a nice addition to the personal powerPlant. The gears assist a quicker rotation of the stepper motor shaft, yielding more power.
Use the Gear Template provided (download in step 1) to cut a small and large gear into a 4"x5"x1/8" sheet of plexiglass. We used a laser cutter, as this is much more accurate. Since these gears have small cogs, we do not recommend cutting by hand.
An alternative to this gear set is to purchase ready made gears.
