Winches are very interesting and simple electrical devices that have many applications in the real world. I never really knew exactly what a winch was before I was researching topics for my proposal. My proposal was to introduce a product to a soccer organization to boost field production efficiency. When I painted a soccer field, we rolled out all of this string onto the field and painted over the string to make straight lines. The main pain was rolling the string back up after we painted the soccer field and this was a big inefficiency involved in making the soccer field. I wanted to introduce a device that roll up the string to allow the workers (including me) to paint the fields faster. In effect, I ran across a device called the winch in my research.

A winch is basically an electric device used to move heavy objects with the use of torque. For example, a winch is used to move boats and jeeps. Torque is a rotational force and a motor is used to provide toque in the device. Figure B is a good representation of what torque is. In effect, the the winch is able to provide power to the system and cause a heavy object to moved across a surface.
Figure B: Example of toque
If too many layers of rope are added to the winch, the power from the winch will decrease as more weight is added. In effect, the winch would be less effective when it came to pulling a heavy object. Figure C described how the power from the winch is affected from the addition of layers, while figure D represents a picture of the different layers. The pulling power zone (where the winch is most effective) is when the winch just has two layers of rope.

Below is a video of a winch in action:
Overall, winches are very useful and applicable in everyday life. The magnetism and electrical applications provide torque, which allows the movement of heavy objects. Do not burn a winch because they may come in handy.

The winch is a pretty neat device. The demonstration in the video was a good example of seeing how the torque allows the winch to pull heavy objects.
I appreciate your use of subtle humor in your posts and your consciousness of titling. Anything with a Monty Python reference deserves recognition, right? Good explanations in your blog so far.
