[QUOTE="SmokinM, post: 1688755, member: 21382"] The posts are the levers, the h just ties the two together. The ground is the fulcrum and wire is the force applied. The lift occurs because the most strain is on the end post and as the brace leans the h becomes a stiff knee, force is transferred to the bottom of the far post making it the primary fulcrum and then you get lift as the corner post lifts around the stiff knee. Again I am no engineer and I sure a physics genius can give you the technics of it. Thats a pretty simple layman’s terms of what happens. A double h will lean but is harder to get lift as force is transferred across 2 points. Pretty much nothing that is designed to take a load at distance from a contact point is built with out a diagonal brace of some type. [/QUOTE]
