ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Machine (mechanical)

A machine is a device made up of parts that work together to do a job. It can be simple, like a toaster, or complex, like a car. When you push the button on the toaster, two electric elements inside the machine heat up and toast the bread. When you drive a car, its many engines, gears, and other parts work together to turn the wheels and make the car move.
