Since it has been announced, or at least rumors have surfaced, that pistons that can be used to make machines will be added, I have some ideas to add.
(1) Waterwheels that can be used to provide mechanical energy. They would be made by taking a gear(I'll get to that momentarily) and surrounding it with wooden planks, like so
Where = gear
This energy would be transmitted through gear blocks,made like so.
[] []
[] []
This would make eight.
The mechanical energy would be used to power certain devices.
(2) Water powered devices
These would be the devices powered by the waterwheels
Machine (1) the forge
Made like so
where = piston and =gear
This would let you smelt multiple items at once, and smelt them together, in a 3x3 grid, but it would use five times the normal amount of fuel ,also it could be used to make steel
makes 2 steel, it would bridge the gap between iron and diamond
Machine (2) The workshop
This would be the bigger crafting space that everyone is talking about it would be 5x5 and made like this
using the same meanings for objects as a forge
Using it you could make objects like The Train, whick pulled minecarts behind it [] [] []
Where = gear = piston and = minecart
The train would also power devices attached to it, move very fast, and provide light in front of the train, plus you could ride in the actual train, and the chest in the back would be a freight area, in which to store large objects
Another object would be the crane where = string
[] []
[] [] [] [] [] []
You would get into them and move the crane arm manually need one in order to move objects made in the workshop elsewhere, since they would come out of the top, you could also use it to pick up enemies, certain blocks, and items. How you would move the crane out of the workshop, I do not know, also crane + minecart = cranecart, same properties as crane, but mobile, and can be used to put objects in freight area

[] [] = boat, = water wheel, in this situation a propellor like those on a steam ship
lets you move underwater easily, has unlimited air, torches provide light needed to see, iron spike in front is a drill that lets you mine underwater
I have a couple of other possible ideas, like ballistae, and golems, but am too lazy to design them, if anyone wants to, be my guest

Nice ideas but you know how the forums work is something is put in the game it open a flood gate of bad ideas branching off of the main ones.So people would be all liek Omg Notch would implement gears and macines why cant he make guns and nukes Trololololololololololo. so make the macines simple like gears and stuff.
