Another pulley system. This one offers 10x mechanical advantage. Its possible to get even greater advantages by simply adding more pulleys but the tradeoff is less displacement. I suspect this would actually offer more than 10x, but in principialand, that's all I can get out of it. I am probably wrong, but I think this should actually produce 16x advantage.


Update: I tightened things up a bit and it now creates approx 11.5x lifting power. The 3rd weight on the descending side is set to 1.4 and provides equilibrium when the system is not under a load.

Sorry to those with slow devices, the only way this seems to work is with velocity iterations cranked.
