Involute:
Wrap a thread with a pencil on one end around the outer circumference of the cylinder, and then gradually release the thread while the thread is taut.

At this time, the curve drawn by the pencil is the involute curve.The outer circumference of the cylinder is called the base circle.
After dividing the cylinder into 8 equal parts, tie 8 pencils to draw 8 involute curves.Then, wind the line in the opposite direction and draw 8 curves in the same way. This is to use the involute curve as the tooth profile and the number of teeth is 8.gear.
