Pulley Systems

Overview
The pulley system is used in elevators and other types of machinery in Odoria. They are commonly used in Winged homes as well as normal office buildings or other commercial buildings.

Uses
The pulley system, as mentioned before, is widely used in Winged homes due to the lack of stairs in these homes. With huge wings, stairs were too cramped for comfortable climbing and thus, the system was created and implemented into their homes. In more modern and urban homes, they have a normal elevators that can go up 1 or 2 floors (average amount of floors in suburban homes). However, more rural or more remote towns have a more, vintage style elevator, that operates manually.

These pulleys operate with a heavy object attached to a rope, a lever and a hole through each floor to get through, sometimes a rock or a piece of metal that is heavier than the shaft itself by a few pounds with a sturdy pole. To work it, the box that the people stand on is placed on the lowest floor. A heavy object at the top is placed in a basket at the top of the pole so the weight is shifted to the box. Once the person is securely in the box, they pull a lever which is attached to the pole to tilt that basket with the rock down. The wheel on the axle/shaft slows down it's descent as to not slam it into the floor, as it lifts the person up in the box to the top floor.

To pull the heavy object back up to the basket, the person must manually pull the object back up with the rope, into the basket, which would send the box back down to the ground, thus resetting the system.
