I don't think anybody knows who originally made it, but Christiaan Huygens developed most of the math to explain it.
There is a crankshaft pulley, alternator pulley, power steering pump pulley, AC pulley, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, etc.
a coumpound pulley is when there is a fixe pulley and movable pulley working together

the pulley was invented in ancient Sicily around 250 BC. The ancient Egyptian wooden four lobe pinion pulley was used to construct the Giza Pyramids around 2600 BC. This pulley surrounds its load and is unlike anything in the modern world. It operates with a mechanical advantage of 2.8 (MA=2.8) on the CLASS 2 lever principle. When hoisted the pulley with load rotates and climbs stepped structures with positive engagements of pulley lobes with steps. This is earliest machine known using "rack and pinion" mechanical technology. Google four lobe pinion pulley
Things that might cause a pulley to wobble: The pulley is bent. The shaft the pulley is on is bent. The pulley is mounted crooked.
A pulley is made to lift largr masses onto tall heights.The pulley is one of the four simple machines which were mankind's first inventions.These machines were invented so far back in prehistory that there is no possibility of knowing when or even where they were invented; certainly we can never know who the person was who was responsible for their invention.In fact they were probably invented in many parts of the world, roughly around the same time. The first two are:leverinclined planeAll machines we use today have developed from these original two basic machines. Invented next, in logical succesion, came:pulleyscrewThe wheel is a circular lever; the pulley is developed from the wheel, while the screw is developed from the inclined plane.The link below is one of many dealing with these original simple machines:
No, it is not a pulley. A pulley has to half effort.
Pulley reduces the force given to get the work done. There are amny types of pulleys. Examples are fixed pulley, movable pulley and Combined pulley.
If you pry up on the pulley with a bar on each side of it and while keeping pressure on the pulley, hit the end of the shaft that the pulley is on with a brass mallet, the pulley will usually break free.
