It’s hard to decide which simple machine system to invest in. DeWalt makes a great lever and inclined plane, but I hear Milwaukee’s wheel-and-axles are really good.

I seem to remember wedge was basically an inclined plane, and a screw was an inclined plane wrapped around an axle. Also a pulley is a specific application of wheel and axle.
But is a lever an adjustable inclined plane, or is it a specific application of a wheel and axel?
Is it all inclined planes???

And incline planes and axles are both types of levers 🤯
Alright there Citizen Doctor Abraham Mehermblur
Amazing
Arrange all six in series for some great slapstick.
Aren’t scrwws just a fancy inclined plane?
and aren’t inclined planes just a fancy wedge
Screws convert rotational energy into directional energy
TIL the definition of simple machine.
Screw.
“behold a screw!”
I used a wedge and hammer last night to split one very large limestone block into 5 more manageable ones and I’ve never felt more ancient Egyptian in my life.
Every machine is a lever.

I can see the screw, pulley, and wedge (the tip). In a pinch, the whole thing can act as a lever. But I can’t see any wheel and axle (no, the pulley isn’t one), and there’s definitely no inclined plane. Randall got ripped off.
Ok but can a cow use it?

I think Randall really gets my life.
