Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dangerous resultant can occur when we use and/or combine simple machines, such as levers, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, vectors, hydraulics, etc. This effect can be magnified many times when they interact with each other, or even when they interact with themselves. This resultant can either hinder us (minimally or deadly), or aid us resulting in a completed project - or a saved life. Being able to recognize and/or use the hundreds, if not thousands of different "resultants" may save a life; at the least, it accomplishes something important or extraordinary you would not have normally been able to. The examples I share are both technical and informative. In some situations people have died because of the resultant(s) or been seriously injured. In other cases there was considerable property damage, due to these resultant(s). Read-on to hear, learn, and share some information and experiences about . . .

Technically Speaking, I won't be speaking too technically. As you may have already noticed, I am not a professional illustrator, so please forgive my less than perfect illustrations. Maybe my communication skills will offset my lack of illustrating skills? I think I am a fairly good communicator, I guess you get to be the judge of that.It is my objective to present these things in a fun informative way. It contains information, examples, events, etc. which are useful to anyone. It contains detailed specifications, examples, and explanations of the principles behind many of the techniques being used, and more. I am not trying to present an all inclusive document about Ropes, Pulleys, Rigging Systems, and Dangerous Resultants, but rather, I have picked a good assortment of examples and details about the core components associated with Ropes, Pulleys, Rigging Systems and the Dangerous Resultants.Next, I have worked hard to present examples, information in a well communicated format, including quizzes, and minor tests to see how well I am able to communicate these things to you. It will also assist in remembering the "all important" principles associated with themThis book steps beyond just a casual approach and is aimed towards those who take a more serious approach, and those who prepare plans to use these thoughts to build, manufacturer, develop, rescue, and save lives. DO BE SURE TO STAY ALERT. As professionals, we must assume responsibility for our own safety, realizing what we do affects those around us.

It's birth is due to my observation while work with Professionals in Construction, Rope Access, Work at Height, Technical Rope Rescue, Fire Fighters, Search and Rescue, Confined Space, Paramedics, Climbers, and others. I noticed that there are "Resultant Forces, and Resultant Angle of Force (Vectors) that were creating problems inconveniences, other create injuries and property damage, and the worst one create fatalities. Consequently, I put together a presentation for the International Technical Rescue Symposium (ITRS) 2001. It was well received, so for the next five years I continued to share more ideas at ITRS, 2002 - 2006 to help prevent accidents and improve our skills and efficiency. Working with ropes, pulleys, and rigging systems, etc. is complicated. There are many different terms, a mountain of equipment, engineering principles, and an infinite number of ways the equipment can be used to aid us, or to hinder us. In this 100+ page book I explain many concepts, ideas, techniques, and most importantly, principles regarding the use of this gear.

I also share other situations, where resultants have hurt and killed others.I have found having this knowledge about these resultants has helped me do everything from change a fuel filter, to get a water heater (full of water) up a narrow stairway and outside, to saving lives. This includes engineering special effects for movies and TV commercials, to bolting boulders weighing many hundreds of tons, to the side of a mountain, so it would not fall on others, to rescuing people from precarious places - "resultants are all around us."Whether you are a Seasoned Professional, interested in expanding your knowledge and skills, or someone interested in learning more about the world around us, you find reading this text is an investment in efficiency, safety, ideas, survival and additional skills, and much more.
