This video series explains the principles of mechanical advantage through the four types of simple machines: wheels and axles, pulleys, levers and inclined planes. These four types of simple machines can be found everywhere from hand and power tools, bicycles and automobiles and even in our homes and offices. While some simple machines are found individually, most are found in combination with other simple machines to maximize mechanical advantage and create the engineering marvels of today. So start understanding and appreciating simple machines and the mechanical advantage they create by learning about it through these cute and easy to understand cartoons.
