A compound machine consists of two or more simple machines put together. In fact, most machines are compound machines. Compound machines can do more difficult jobs than simple machines alone. Their mechanical advantage is far greater, too. Some examples are a pair of scissors and a bicycle., bottle opener.

A bicycle. The wheels and pedals each form a separate wheel and axle system. The brakes and brake handles are levers, and the seat adjustment is a screw.

Other examples are an an axe or a shovel, which are made of a wedge and a lever; a typewriter or piano keyboard, which utilize a system of two or more levers; a pencil sharpener, which is composed of a wedge and a wheel and axle; and pliers or nail clippers, which are both made of multiple levers.

A compound machine would combine at least 2 simple machines, like a wheel, a wedge, and a lever. So, examples are all around you... like an elevator, a typewriter, a trebuchet, an assault rifle, a guillotine, an axe, a chainsaw, a bloody glove...
