Mechines. What are they?

[Carlleen]

In its fully set up state form start to finish. Electrical set up, switches, The components of the LED light bar itself. I ask is a light bar a machine?

[HeavyMetal]

The original conversation was "is a light a machine"

i said you wear a fuckin helmet, a light is not a machine.

plus i dont know what the fuck a "mechine" is

[Carlleen]

first time i have seen you comment on spelling. You are searching for anything at this point. A simple typo does not prove anything.

[HeavyMetal]

well clearly anyone who cant spell machines has no authority on the matter

A machine is a device that uses energy to perform some activity. In common usage, the meaning is that of a device having parts that perform or assist in performing any type of work.

by that definition, yes a light is a machine

by that definition, yes a light is a machine

Would you ever refer to a light as a machine?

"Turn on that machine" ?

no, when i think of a machine, i think moving parts. Moving is the key word i guess

[Burton58]

[Ruepart Hoaxley]

electrons move through it...

The threads on a Lightbulb are considered a Simple Machine; a screw. The rest of the light? By that definition, yes. It's a simple machine because there are no moving parts within it, but a 'machine' nonetheless.

A Wedge, a knife and any sort of wedge shapped object with no moving parts is considered a Simple Machine, so a Lightbulb must be a machine/

I agree, but i would not call it a machine in a conversation. When the word 'machine' is said, i conjure up a picture of a metal beast with moving parts.

[HeavyMetal]

the conversation was retarded and the poll is skewed away from what it actually was because ryan is a douche

by technical definition i drive a fuckin station wagon, but lets be real

by any realistic "real world" discussion a screw isnt a machine and neither is a lightbulb, and not all lightbulbs are affixed via a screw anyway...my domelight bulb just pushes in. machine?

[Carlleen]

Well isnt that somm shit. Thank you for such great answers. I am so thankful.
