Conservation of energy and work in mechanisms

Mechanisms seems to increase force, but they can not create energy by theirself. All mechanisms produce the same amount of work that is done to them, including energy that is lost to friction and heat.

PULLEYS AND COMPOUND PULLEY SYSTEMS

In a system of pulleys the equilibrium between the forces depends on the path that the rope follows. PULLEYS: FIXED PULLEY :  Has an axle mounted in bearings attached to a supporting structure. A fixed pulley changes the direction of the force on a rope or belt that moves along its circumference.  F: R MOVEABLE PULLEY:   Has an axle in a movable block. A single movable pulley is supported by two parts of the same rope and has a mechanical advantage of two. F: R/2
