Handbook of Basic Machines and How They Work: An Illustrated Guide to Mechanical Principles, Components, Motion, Power Transmission, Operation, Maintenance, and Safety - Softcover
Synopsis
Understand the machines that move, lift, hold, cut, fasten, and transmit power.
Handbook of Basic Machines and How They Work is a clear, illustrated guide to simple machines, mechanical advantage, forces, motion, and power transmission. It explains how common mechanical systems work, why their performance changes, and how to study them safely and accurately.
The book begins with the foundations of engineering mechanics, including force, work, energy, power, efficiency, materials, friction, wear, and lubrication. It then explains the six simple machines: the lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, and screw.
Readers will also learn about:
- Levers, pulleys, gears, cranks, and handwheels
- Wheels, axles, wedges, screws, and threaded mechanisms
- Ropes, belts, chains, and flexible power transmission
- Mechanical advantage, velocity ratio, torque, and efficiency
- Machine elements, compound machines, and everyday mechanisms
- Load movement, support, balance, and stability
- Measurement, performance testing, and basic machine design
- Inspection, maintenance, troubleshooting, and machine safety
Technical ideas are presented in simple English without removing the engineering detail needed for serious study. The book also explains the limits of common formulas and shows how friction, condition, geometry, and material choice affect real machine performance.
This handbook is written for engineering students, technicians, apprentices, instructors, workshop learners, maintenance personnel, and anyone studying mechanics for the first time. It can be used as a course companion, training reference, classroom resource, or practical introduction to mechanical engineering.
Build a strong understanding of basic machines and learn how separate mechanical parts work together as complete systems.

About the Author
Dr. Marcus T. Ellison is an engineering educator, manufacturing specialist, and technical consultant whose work focuses on computer numerical control machining and modern manufacturing systems. His professional background combines university-level teaching with practical experience in CNC operations, programming, process planning, tooling, workholding, inspection, and production improvement.
Throughout his academic and industry work, Dr. Ellison has helped students, technicians, machinists, and engineering professionals develop a stronger understanding of both the theory and practical application of advanced manufacturing technology. His teaching approach emphasises technical accuracy, safe working practice, clear problem-solving methods, and the connection between engineering principles and real shop-floor decisions.
His research and consulting interests include CNC process optimisation, CAD/CAM integration, machining accuracy, tool-life management, automated production, quality control, and the application of digital technologies in manufacturing. He is particularly committed to making complex engineering subjects understandable without reducing their technical depth.
Through his books and professional work, Dr. Ellison aims to provide dependable, practical resources that support technical education, workforce development, and effective engineering practice.
