## Description

Basic Machines and How They Work - Kindle edition by Education, Naval. Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets. Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading Basic Machines and How They Work.

Review: Lots of diagrams, some useful (basic) equations, and fun to read - This is a Dover book (they have excellent reprints of classic works). Good content, useful for just about anybody but especially for those who have to dabble occasionally in some other discipline that involves mechanical devices from simple levers to car engines. It's a fun read too.
Review: Simple yet deeply informative. - I haven’t read all of it yet. I’m really liking it so far. It presents a lot of information simply and concisely with helpful illustrations. I’ve had some modest success using old US Navy training material as a reference in the past, and this is definitely meeting my expectations. I heartily recommend this to anyone who wants to broaden their own understanding of machinery, especially for those who have found that conventional, modern education and workplace training does not yield satisfactory understanding.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of diagrams, some useful (basic) equations, and fun to read
*by J***D on June 12, 2024*

This is a Dover book (they have excellent reprints of classic works). Good content, useful for just about anybody but especially for those who have to dabble occasionally in some other discipline that involves mechanical devices from simple levers to car engines. It's a fun read too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple yet deeply informative.

I haven’t read all of it yet. I’m really liking it so far. It presents a lot of information simply and concisely with helpful illustrations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful, if quirky
*by C***G on April 17, 2012*

I bought this book as part of my goal to re-learn some basic engineering skills. I found it helpful and informative, but extremely long winded. Given that it's written for the navy, it's very insular in it's context, centering around naval usages. It also lacks a textbook style succinctness and instead sounds like a lecture to a group of children or like an educational video from the 70's with drastic over-simplification and a certain Norman Rockwell feel to it. Above said, the basic principals and their associated formulas ARE clearly communicated along with their relevant applications. Happy with this book, but do not feel the naval context is clearly communicated in the description, nor the style of its format.
