PULLEYS A pulley is a simple machine capable of lifting weights. It consists of a wheel that can rotate about an axle passing through its centre, with a groove (also called a throat) along its outer edge for holding a rope. Mechanically Mechanically neutral advantaged moveable...

Build a crane with a movable pulley Example: in this case, lifting a weight of 10 kilogrammes (symbol kg - or more accurately, 10 kilogramme-force for all you scientists, symbol: kgf), will require a force of 5 kg. It is a simple machine that provides a mechanical ad- vantage by reducing the physical effort of man.

THE ELECTRIC MOTOR An electric motor is a machine capable of converting electrical power into mechanical power. The electric current, supplied by a battery and sent to the coils of a rotor, interacts with the magnetic field generated by the magnets of the stator.

Technical facts and curiosities 1968 The "bike" without wheels found in homes and gyms around the world is a recent invention. The mastermind behind it was American inventor Keene P. Dimick, who came up with the idea of a stationary bike that could be pedalled even though it didn't have wheels.

Assemble an ultralight aeroplane Technical and scientific information Aeroplanes can fly because of the presence of air. Air is a gaseous fluid made up of particles—mostly molecules of nitrogen and oxygen. An aeroplane is "suspended" in this fluid by its two wings which generate a force called lift, supporting the aircraft in flight.

Technical facts and curiosities 1903 American brothers and bicycle makers Orville and Wilbur Wright, after years of study and research, built a motor-driven aeroplane with two propellers (wingspan: 12 metres, length: 6.50 metres and weight: 275 kg). Their first flight lasted 12 seconds, during which time they travelled 36 metres at a height of 3 metres.

Build a helicopter Technical and scientific information In a helicopter, the main rotor and blades act both as a wing to generate lift (see the Technical and scientific information for Activity 49), and as a propeller to provide thrust or drive. As the main rotor turns, in a clockwise direction, for example, a counter force is generated in an anti-clockwise...
