we r making a model of car,so we r able to convert piston motion to rotary motion of shaft through gear but the problem is we ar'nt able to convert that motion in roatry motion of wheel as their direction r perpendicular...

<>This site explains how a differential works. That is how the linear power from the engine and transmission is converted into wheel rotation.

the tro and fro motion of the piston can be converted in to rotatory motion of wheels by using a circular disc, which is free to rotate about a axis (rod) . now fix the piston shaft to the other circumfarence of the disc. this will make the disc rotate when piston moves up and down. consequently the rod will rotate,which in turn can be used to make the wheels move.

The secret to this great mechanical magic is called a "crankshaft". It converts reciprocal motion into a rotary one. Check out animation in this link:

Dah! All internal combustion engines convert reciprocating motion into rotary motion thats there purpose!

That's what a differential is for. It has gears set at right angles to do that.
Go to www.howstuffworks.com and they have a lot of good info with moving diagrams. Just type in a search for what you're trying to learn.

u need to use gears like those found in a transaxle

are talking about a plain old rotarty engine?
