#3276: Recursive Trucker's Hitch

[A winch arm is shown (labelled 'Plunger'), with a small circle within it labelled 'Fusion Capsule' and a string attached to the arm and attaching to the base, which is then continually knotted in a blcok and tackle system until it reaches the end of the string, labelled as Fin.]

[Below is a box within the panel shows the following equation:]

Mechanical advantage = F_OUT/F_IN = 1/3 * (2⁽²ⁿ⁺¹⁾ + 1) ~ 2/3 * 4ⁿ

[After the box, more text is shown, as follows:]

MA(1) = 3:1

MA(5) = 683:1

MA(20) = 733,007,751,851:1

MA(50) = 845,100,400,152,152,934,331,135,470,251:1

The International Atomic Energy Agency regulates the recursive trucker's hitch, since the unlimited mechanical advantage it offers is powerful enough to ignite fusion.
