    The author proves the Brouwer fixed point theorem by appeal to mechanical intuition. A sequence of machines is described for each real dimension greater than unity. As a sufficiently large force is applied to this mechanism, the coordinates of certain components can be made arbitrarily close to positions which are analogues of a fixed point.
