For a Given gear ratio N, To = N*Ti and wo = wi/N.

wi = input speed

If I am understanding the set up properly, I believe this would have the opposite effect. The set up described has an 80 tooth gear on the motor and a 40 tooth gear being driven, which results in double the speed but half the torque. Using the equations above, isn't N = 0.5?
