You need to do a lot of practice. Force is developed with both speed and technique. When you have both, it wont be a problem for you. It is critical that you get the basics down first, before worrying about speed or power; butt once you have it can be helpful to practice your kicks (with many repetitions) wearing ankle weights. After trying that for a few months, your legs will feel feather light with them off. You have to do more than train technique, you have to train the muscles, so it doesn't hurt to go to the gym; for front kicks (and Round house kicks to a certain extent), you can do leg extensions to build up the muscle; and for hooking heal kick you need to work on leg curls. For side kicks, and back kicks leg presses help; and for Crescent kicks and hook kicks you can work out your hip abductors, and hip adductors. But remember that as you build muscle mass, you have to focus even harder on your flexibility, so that you don't loose it. It's also important to note that you can't use strength to replace technique. So only use weight lifting to augment the workouts (and repetition) you get at your do jang.

The answer does not depend on which gear is driving. Linear-wise, the two gears are meshed so the teeth are moving at the same speed. Rotation-wise, the smaller gear has smaller radius so it is "turning faster" in terms of RPMs.
