Well, not exactly. He is using levers and pulleys, he's just doing it differently. He has made the entire block into a lever on a fulcrum. He used the rope wrapped around a log to get belt friction as a brake, which is a pulley of sorts. He's just sort of concentrated on fulcrums rather than levers. A lot easier with rectangles than round logs or rounded Moai. But, you could perhaps build a rectangular frame around a round log. |
