This book explores the simple machines that help reduce effort, that help lift or move loads or speed up work. Useful machines such as the wheelbarrow, crane and plow use levers, pulleys and wheels and axles, while the screw and rudder can help change the direction of moving water. The book also examines the contribution made in the 1400's by the famous Italian inventor, Leonardo da Vinci.
This book explores the energy produced by the wind and moving air generally to power machines such as the windmill and wind turbine, and to help people and objects travel both at speed and more slowly through the air. It also looks at the way chemical energy can be stored and used and examines the contribution made by the famous inventor of the dynamo, Michael Faraday.
