Outline of machines

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to machines:

Machine – mechanical system that provides the useful application of power to achieve movement. A machine consists of a power source, or engine, and a mechanism or transmission for the controlled use of this power. The combination of force and movement, known as power, is an important characteristic of a machine.

gollark: I can help a bit I guess...
gollark: Stuff runs at those frequencies because the electromagnetic spectrum is pretty heavily government-regulated, with governments actually selling off access to most of it to companies, but most places allow use of 2.4 and 5GHz or so.
gollark: There are also different WiFi standards for packing higher data rates into whatever frequency range, some of which work, I think, by using several streams at different frequencies combined.
gollark: 2.4GHz and 5GHz are different, er, frequencies, though stuff doesn't run at exactly those frequencies but generally around them.
gollark: That's not really quite accurate.
