What is the working principle of worm gears in sand mullers?

Sand mullers break up sand after it has been used in molds to facilitate sandcasting. By effectively breaking up the sand, it can be reused. The worm on a motor or on the "driven" side of the device will engage with a worm gear. The worm rotates continuously, and the spiral cut gears "worm" their way "along" the axis of the gear. The worm gear (or spur gear) engages with the worm and rotates continuously as well. Also, the worm gear will translate the rotary motion of the worm by 90 degrees. It is fairly easy to see how the unit works if you look at some pictures or drawings. Hey, how about some animation or video? Got a couple of links.

What tipe of gears are on a bicycle a spur gear a bevel gear a worm gear?

Depends. Bicycles with external gears have chain-and-sprocket gears. Bicycles with internally geared hubs have both a chain-and-sprocket gear and spur gears (usually in a planetary configuration) inside the rear hub. Then there are the rather rare shaft-drive bicycles, which use bevel gears. And maybe an internally geared hub as well. Then there's the occasional belt drive bike of course. And one or two CVT designs.

How do you calculate the Differential Constant of Hobber?

well this is not impossible, it is generally calculated by manufacturere so it is also called machine constant,it cant be calculated just by looking at machine, u have to know number of teeth/ starts of worm/ of every gear, beveal, worm etc in machine to calculate exact ratio, other method is hit n trial method , u cut spur gear, then cut different gear of different helix angle and of different modules/dp, may be can get close to machine constant
