Mechanical advantage gone wild! The cartoon shows what happens when an engineer gets bored at a county fair. By connecting three Ferris wheels with a belt drive, our mad scientist created a pulley system where the third wheel spins so fast it's practically a human centrifuge. The poor riders on that last wheel are experiencing what we in physics call "regrettable life choices." This is basically Newton's laws of motion meeting carnival economics – conservation of energy doesn't mean conservation of employment.
