Lever/Lever
A lever is a rigid rod that pivots around an object. When you apply force towards the end, the fulcrum will tend to move in the direction of the force is applied. This rotates the fulcrum, increasing the applied force which allows you to lift or move something that would require more force if you attempted to apply it directly to the load.
The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point at which you apply force determines the maximum movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The advantage of mechanical force increases as the lever is extended. You can calculate the advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the point where you're applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and where you will end the lever.
Levers can also have a variety of effects based on how the forces are applied. For instance the class 2 lever is inclined to turn in the opposite direction to when the force applied to it (like a totter-totter). The forces created when you push on the handle of a front door will produce rotational effects that are similar to those.
However, levers don't create energy. Levers multiply the force by changing small amounts of effort applied over a long distance into larger amounts of force applied over smaller distances. This is what allows you to complete more work in less time, and that is why levers are commonly used to lift heavy objects or moving large quantities of cargo.
