Snatch Block! I want to take a moment to thank those of you who support Smarter Every Day on Patreon. I'd also like to point out 2 things about this video. #1. You'll notice Jeremy Fielding is in this video. He's the "Contraption Fabricator" that's started working with me now because of your support on Patreon. He's a great designer, father, and friend. You'll be seeing more of Jeremy around thanks to those who support at www.patreon.com/smartereveryday/ #2. If you'd like to 3D print the Snatch Blocks and pulleys we use in this video they are here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4022579 #3. I really enjoy KiwiCo and I think you will too. I got them as a Christmas gift for my children years ago, and it was a huge hit. It was after that experience that I reached out to their team and asked if I could advertise for them because of how good it was for our family. I think you'll enjoy it too. www.kiwico.com/smarter It was 3 things... I ended up pointing out 3 things.

I think showing the LENGTH of the rope you pulled with 2 pulleys v.s. 1 pulley will explain everything much better. It took me forever to finally understand. Maybe I am just an idiot. Edit: It's like going 10mph(force) for 2 hour(rope length) vs. going 10mph(force) for 1 hour (rope length). You get more out of it. That's how I understood it anyway.

I carry rope and carabiners while hunting to set up pulley systems to get large game up steep inclines. The input end also helps me climb up at the same time. Carabiners have much more friction, so they hold the load in place better.

Destin, You could have used a third scale, that would be holding the other end of the rope, the one that is fixed and does not move. Also, It is very interesting how the flatten unfolded multi pulley was not moving uniformly, indicating each disc excreted different force. It would be interesting if you replace it with separate pulleys each one holding separate weight (all weight would be with equal mass).

A rule of thumb we always used for figuring out mechanical advantage for rope rescue systems was, if the pulley (or snatch block) is moving with the load, it is providing a mechanical advantage. If it is not moving with the load (i.e. it is attached to an anchor point not a part of the load) it is only providing a change of direction.

This is how I learned it when setting up a homemade lat pulldown in my gym. You don’t want the system to give you advantage you just want it to offer resistance in the desired direction. You also can’t afford having 2 to 1 ratios of distance. You want the weight to move 1 to 1 what your arms are doing. Otherwise you would have to double the weight to counter the advantage you’re getting. Gym equipment is, of course the opposite intention of many pulley hoisting applications.

Shouldn't matter much, As you get more blocks in the load your line load reduces. If you have a 4:1 setup then your total load is divided by 4 and that's how much is on each line. So if you want to lift 1000 pounds a straight pull is of course 1000, a single traveling block causing a 2:1 pulley is 500 on each line as well as a 2:1 mechanical advantage so it both cuts the line load in half and doubles the pulling force, a 3:1 does the same its 3 times the pulling force and line load is cut into 3 so you are at 333 pounds per line. If you want to get real complicated you can factor in the angle at which each line is at and that chances the numbers as the farther from 90 degrees or parallel lines the less mechanical advantage and the less line reduction you have.

@@ionbusman2086 not really, with my 4:1 for example you are effectively turning 1 line into 4, so it’s really one long line that runs through a bunch of blocks but it acts as if there were 4 because both your mechanical advantage and line load are effected, for each moving block in a perfect world you get double the pulling force and line load is cut in half, so for a 4:1 moving 1000 pounds you would need to pull with 250 pounds of force and each line would have 250 pounds of force on it, so to move 1000 pounds a 250 pound rated rope would work. It’s fairly simple until you start getting into the angles of the blocks and compounded pulley setups. So yes in short the object weight doesn’t change you are still lifting 1000 pounds, but with pulleys you can move that weight with a lot weaker equipment and a lot less force.

What you could do if you could only attach one line to the load is have one heavy piece of rigging rating for the full forces then you could compound it and apply mechanical advantage to that one line, so like a 1000 pound cable sling with 250 lb rated rope in a 4:1 connected to that cable.

first, thank you. your willingness to share the power of knowledge is much appreciated. So, years ago, we had a tow truck (an old P.T.O unit with a twin boom system) that we called the "School Marm". So named because on the side door of the equipment locker was the mathematical calculation required for that tow truck to right a capsized battleship. A single, dual line wrecker that weighed in at about 14,000 pounds and delivered maybe 250 horsepower carried the mechanical power to drag a hypothetical battleship, that would weigh in at more than 40,000 tons, back to an upright position, made possible by the mechanical advantage of the mundane pulley. Well, that's my story. And i am sticking to it. Aloha.

I have lost count of how many times I have watched this video over the past 3 years. I love it. I went to school for engineering so we studies this in our statics class. In an odd way, this is so much fun. In an interesting follow up to this video, how does it work if the load you are lifting is you? Say you are sitting on a board tied to a rope that goes up to a pull and the slack rope comes right back down to you. To lift yourself up, how much force to you need to apply? You are both pulling the rope down and pulling yourself up at the same time.

I knew an elderly veteran who specialised in tank recovery. He showed me some pictures of the rig they used to get tanks out of bogs and deep sand. It was just like the compound set up shown in the vid' , except doubled up and spread out over about a quarter acre, with multiple stakes to take the load, and a pair of enormous trucks to provide the traction.

Destin, your section that included getting your Jeep stuck reminded me of a pair of tricks my father taught me about mechanical advantage. Neither use snatch blocks but both are useful if you have a length of chain or, in the case of being stuck a stout rope. Dad had taken a friend and I sledding (and wood hauling...), this is about 1966-7. He drove the old 4x4 out into a flat field that had 8" of powder snow and we set off to buck some birch and do some sledding. Upon our return, we discovered that under all 4 wheels of the truck there was a thick layer of solid ice. Even trying to ease the truck into motion wasn't happening, all 4 wheels were spinning as if the truck was on a hoist. Dad pulls out a length of 1" rope, tied it to the frame (separate lesson on a bowline knot) and instructed me to proceed with the other and to an anchor tree, put a wrap around it and pull it as tight as possible. He got in the truck and instructed my friend to push on the rope at the center of the line between truck & tree at right angles to the line. My buddy was able to push the rope 2-3 feet moving the truck just an inch or two. Dad applied the brakes, my buddy let up on the pressure & I took up the slack at the wrap at the tree. Rinse & repeat until we'd moved the truck a few feet where there was a little traction and we were free. This is the power of trigonometry! The force applied was my 50-60 lb. buddy on an icy surface to the rope, but the force applied (at first) to the truck was perhaps 30 lbs. / sin(~179.9999 degrees) or bunches (>100,000 lbs.)! As the angle drops from ~180, the force drops rapidly too, but a hundred foot rope keeps a high angle to this point for several feet. The other mech advantage trick was using a length of stout chain (35-40 lbs. 10') bolted to a stubborn axel in an old tractor needing removal. Using the mass and momentum of the chain to yank that axel in a couple of tries. I don't miss the cold and snow of Montana, but I do recall lessons well received... :)

aw, awesome trick. p.s. I don't think the force reached 100,000 lbs, any rope has a bit of a give in its length, so when it finally extends to its full length the angle is already less than 180

@@vsm1456 Good catch! Being an electronics guy, I recalled the reason for the 'sag' of power lines between power poles and gravity pulling down on those lines removing any possibility of hitting 180 degrees (straight and flat) ... Because... infinity. I used the 'theoretical maximum' of it being near dead straight just for the calculation, dramatic effect and to show how strong I was as a strapping 8-year-old pulling the rope tight... :) The initial force on the truck (and the tree) was likely on the order of an average of 1000-2000 lbs. for an inch or two, but the point is made... it works well.

I teach mechanical advantage for rescue teams and your video was right on the money. Great video!

Insanely satisfying to see the science work in real life. Thanks for this video. It saved me a lot of time and back ace.

@99codemister

Not kinda like gear ratios. Exactly like gear ratios. The only difference is the directions of the forces. And technically, since you most often think of gear ratio in terms of vehicular motion, even the directions are not that different. Input is the vertical movement of the piston head. Output is the force applied to the road. So a pulley can create a ratio and change the direction of a force. While a gear can create a ratio and reverse the rotational direction of a force.

@@99codemister it's also exactly like a lever and fulcrum lol. The ratio between thee distance from the end to the fulcrum between both sides is the ratio of force increase. You sacrifice distance for force and since distance is proportional to speed, one side of the lever will move faster than the other. Instead of rpm you calculate the speed it takes for the end of the lever to go from top to bottom, since they both go top to bottom at same time but one goes a larger distance, there is a difference in speed. Plus change in direction, one side goes up, other side goes down. One gear spinsclockwise, other gear spins counter clockwise. When you think about it, a gear is just a lever spinning around its fulcrum, and pulleys are just gears connected with ropes. All types of mechanical advantages are the same concept really.
