What is the difference between pulleys and gears?

Pulleys (and their cousins, sheaves) transmit power through their connection to one another by way of belts or ropes. Pulleys are often used as a lever system to gain mechanical advantage, and often one or more of them will move in a linear fashion when doing so. Gears are like pulleys or sheaves in that they also transmit power, but do so by way of being in direct contact (meshed) with each other. In either case, rotating shaft speeds can be sped up or slowed down relative to other parts of the system by varying the size of the pulley or gear. Smaller driven units will rotate faster than larger ones for a given size of driving unit.


How do pulley systems work?

Pulley systems work by distributing the weight of an object across multiple ropes and pulleys, making it easier to lift heavy loads. The more pulleys in the system, the less force is required to lift the object. As you pull down on one end of the rope, the weight is distributed evenly across the pulleys, reducing the effort needed to lift the object.

How are shoelaces are similar to pulleys?

Shoelaces and pulleys both involve pulling one end to tighten or fasten something at the other end. Both rely on friction to hold things in place - shoelaces on the eyelets of shoes, and pulleys on the grooves of the wheel. They are both examples of simple machines that make work easier.


How pulleys work?

Pulleys work by changing the direction of the force applied to move an object. They consist of a wheel with a groove for a rope or belt and can be used to lift heavy objects more easily by spreading the force needed over multiple ropes. When a force is applied to one end of the rope, the object on the other end is lifted or moved.
