Is a winch a simple machine?
You may have many cool items of recycled materials and from these items, you can build a hand crank winch. Recycle is an awesome way for STEM projects. And for kids, a fun STEM activity to try is this simple crank winch.
HOW TO BUILD A HAND CRANK WINCH!
How stuff works to show this to the kids a great way is building this simple machines. With any recycled items making cool things is awesome.
To make a crank winch things you will need:
STEP 1
To a solid surface, tape 2 cardboard tubes. And from each other how far apart they should be, as a reference tool use the straw.
STEP 2
Now at top of each cardboard, make 2 cuts. To be able to spin and rest the pencil or straw make sure the cardboard tube is big enough.
STEP 3
On the pencil or straw, put your spool. You can use a piece of tape on the pencil or straw to simply secure the rope if you don't have a spool. This is a hand crank winch too! However, to the pencil or straw make sure with the tape you securely use a spool. And if you do not secure it properly? Then there will be no ending up of string and around the straw, the spool will just spin.
You can make a handle by using the bendy part if you are using a straw.
STEP 4
With a piece of tape to the spool secure your string or rope. And at the bottom of the string, tie your basket.
Now you can test your simple winch machine. Can you pull any object with this machine? And is it easier to lift any heavy items? However, you can color your winch as you want.

To lower or raised any things usually, the winches are used. You can one thing, before making the simple winch machine with any recycled item you can draw the machine in your notebook. This will make your making easier. However, making any items with kids is really amazing. By this, you can spend some quality time with the kids as well as they can learn something new.

As you now know how you can make a winch, let’s discuss some benefits of a winch.
Usually, winches are two types (i) manual winches and (ii) cable winches. Both are great for lifting or lowering any heavy items. Such as - to pull out a vehicle, to lifting a heavy tree, in the construction site to lower or lift any machines or objects, and much more. Using winches are safe, and it helps to reduce risks. If your vehicle is stuck on your off-driving road then a winch can help you. Find a strong tree and then attach the winch to the tree and your vehicle. Next, sit on the vehicle and try to pull it by using the remote (winches have a remote control). In a few minutes, your vehicle will be on a flat surface. Very easy, doesn’t it?
