Force multiplier

Put your hand one one of the wheels and give it a spin. That's #2
Place something on the other wheel, It doesn't matter what, but let's say it's a treadmill. That's #3
Rearrange the points of contact however you like. It doesn't matter, the thing works. No stick, no slip, no fooling.

Fully agree with what you are saying but that is not the setup we are discussing.
You are describing a functional gearbox / force multiplier with 3 points of contact.
You have the case/body connected to ground and you have an input and an output.
The one in diagram (a) has the input connected to treadmill the output on the red box and that is all as the body is floating and not connected to ground it can not multiply / amplify the force.
To do force multiplication you need a device that has 3 points of contact and it will never work with just two.

Do you understand what a force multiplier is ?

Do you understand what a joke is? :scared:

It seems your ability to make jokes is at least as bad as your understanding of physics.

I haven't even said anything on this topic in any capacity and already you're calling me an idiot. :-DD
To every action (a joke) is opposed an equal reaction (your inability to take the joke). :-DD

I'm trying to explain this highschool level physics for the past few months and I do not longer find anything funny.

Look, bro, some advice. Maybe I completely agree with you (I don't, but you're an expert at thought experiments so pretend I do). I made a joke about the fact that every couple months you start one of these threads and, pretty unanimously, the board disagrees with you every... single... time.
Now, the joke here is that this thread is called "force multiplier" so it appears that one poster (you) is able to conjure up some pretty remarkable reactionary forces out of proportion to their size despite how many times this topic has been hashed, rehashed, triple hashed, and no one is convinced by you.
Now remember, in this thought experiment, we are pretending I think you're absolutely right. So, my understanding of physics would be on par with yours.
But instead, you instantly turn towards calling me an idiot without even knowing what I think about you, or your arguments. All I said is its funny how strong a reaction you get... every single time. Force multiplier? Get it? Do you get it?
And there is an extra joke there - that you might have called someone who agrees with you an idiot for agreeing with you. So that makes you an idiot too, right? >:D
So,
1) You're incapable of understanding I was making a pretty obvious joke given you tried to lecture me without even pausing to recognize the absurdity of this thread and the last... 3 threads there have been on this?
2) You're incapable of taking a joke that might even peripherally be at your expense.
3) You're incapable of even recognizing that turning towards calling people idiots without even knowing their opinions of your physics will just make people plain not like you - even if they agree with you.
4) You're incapable of explaining high school physics.
I've been a teacher for 10 years and a tutor for almost 20. You are really, really bad at teaching. And if this isn't fun or interesting or engaging for you... you can just stop. That's the advice.
But you might also be incapable of that. :-X
