[@CaptainBlitz]

The first engineer was born probably when someone went "i'm gonna invent a solution to this problem that no one is having but me"

[@BritishEngineer]

probably an example of these problems where in the R&D department when they were developing transistor driven, ferrite core, high voltage transformers. “ooooOOoo, my secondary coil keeps arcing into each other” Ooooooo- “not to worry, just divide the entire secondary coil into multiple segments of series coils”. “Ooooooooo”

They're more uses than that, those are just the most famous and a fulcrum is easier to make than you think. For example, the hammer you use to pull out nails is a type of lever, a fulcrum is already created when the hammerhead touch a surface

So we put those highly toxic death making rocks that make stuff glow when dark into a stable state so it does not create a chain reaction, that would create an explosion and kill and poison countries to death in this water to cool it but let kt get hot enough just to boil different water to have steam go through a sideways screw to make the light bulb shine

And now he has to go through the trouble of telling a new guy about all of his magnificient lifting inventions so that they can spread it around, too bad that the (presumably) first guy suddenly invented spontaneous combustion and went up in smoke 😉

[@DeadDancers]

The painful reality of genius without the ability to sell the products of that genius.

[@danser_theplayer01]

The tradeoff is exactly the same as big gear - small gear setup. The easy end of the lever experiences more travel and less immediate force required, the smaller end of the lever experiences less travel but requires more of the force upfront. Levers, pulleys, gears - all "stretch" your workload so it can be divided into smaller forces over longer distance.

Somebody should really invent a "pressey" I realized how that sounded after I typed it.

[@AstroBrindan]

👁️👄👁️

[@TinaDanielsson]

Simple. Make a hole/slit in something that can stand high pressure (the pressee). Put a pressure object below it (the presser), make sure to have a fitting distance between them. Attach a rope to the presser through the hole/slit. Attach the other end of the rope to the pressey (which by pure accident looks remarkably like a pulley). Place an item between the presser and the pressee. Press the end of the rope away from the slit/hole. The item is now thoroughly pressed. I will apply for a worldwide patent asap.

[@mrsoisauce9017]

Easy. Just put something on the end of a pulley with a metric fuck ton of weight. Pull the weight up and then put something under it. Release the weight back on the item gently so it presses on the item. Done

Even if it is likely a myth, it's still something Archimedes is famously known for. And it's still a cool part of his history.

[@matthewtalbot-paine7977]

It's not a difficult concept to explain. You move 1 end of the system a lot and the other end moves very slightly. This means that you can move the end of the lever a km and the other end of the lever moves like 1cm of course your lever would have to be made of something strong enough to do this.
