ViscousGear

ViscousGear is Gear:
    .doc: """
The ViscousGear acts as a rotational coupling that connects two RotationalBodies
with a focus on viscous surface friction. This model accounts for the damping effects
due to surface viscosity, impacting the rotational interaction between two
Physics1D.Bodies.RotationalBody instances.
It maintains a linear relationship of rotational speed and position through
a specified gear ratio but differs from an ideal gear by incorporating the effects
of surface viscous friction, adding a layer of complexity and realism to its behavior.
