part.\n• Bring the mountain to Mohammed, instead of bringing Mohammed to the mountain.\n\nMake movable parts (or the external environment) fixed, and fixed parts movable.\n• Rotate the part instead of the tool.\n• Moving sidewalk with standing people.\n• Treadmill (for walking or running in place.)\n\nTurn the object (or process) 'upside down'.\n• Turn an assembly upside down to insert fasteners (especially screws).\n• Empty grain from containers (ship or railroad) by inverting them.\n\n[[User:Molson|Matthew Olson]] ([[User talk:Molson|talk]]) 06:50, 4 December 2018 (PST)\n\n# Moving platform
