Short description: Overview of and topical guide to 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.
