A wheel is fundamentally different than an inclined plane as is a lever, pully and wing. You may have a case for the screw being related to an inclined plane and wedge.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leewilcox 0 #11 October 16, 2007 From wikipedia: The traditional list of simple machines is: The inclined plane (N) The wheel and axle (O) The lever (T) The pulley (U) The wedge (V [single wedge]; X [double wedge]) The screw (Y) Variations to the list of simple machines: Some say there are only five simple machines, arguing that the wedge is a moving inclined plane. Others further simplify the list to four saying that the screw is a helical inclined plane. This position is less accepted because a screw simultaneously converts a rotational force (torque) to a linear force. Some go even further to insist that only two simple machines exist, as a pulley and wheel and axle can be viewed as unique forms of levers, leaving only the lever and the inclined plane."Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion" - Democritus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zep 0 #12 October 16, 2007 So my penis can be explained as a simple machine, as I can use it to lever a load two or three inches further up or down to find the optimum position, also it operates on an inclined plane. hmm, simple really Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
