Just as a side note, Helical gears are not worm gears. They have very different functionality.

- Helical
-- Can turn a force either parallel or perpendicular to itself
-- Can be backdriven
-- Pitch ratio determines final output of forces
- Worm
-- Can turn a force either parallel or perpendicular to itself
-- Can not be backdriven
-- Ratio is either 1:Spur teeth or 2:Spur teeth. (i.e. a worm gear can be considered a 1 tooth gear or, depending on it's thread, a 2 tooth gear)
