If we were able to get more work out of a machine than we put in, energy would be created in the process. According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, this is not possible.

Therefore, the answer is:


\begin{gathered} \text{ No, it is not possible to get more work} \\ \text{ out of a machine than we put in.} \end{gathered}
