The lubricating system is a crucial part of an automobile's engine that reduces friction between the moving parts and increases the lifespan of the engine. The system circulates oil through the engine to lubricate all the moving parts. It comprises a lubricant, a pump, and a filter.

The oil pan collects the oil as it drains from the engine, and it is then pumped back into the engine to continue the cycle. A properly functioning lubrication system is essential for an engine's longevity and performance.

Hydraulic and pneumatic devices are all around us. 

Hydraulic systems are used in manufacturing and production plants, such as the steel and automobile industries, to operate all types of mechanical equipment.  They're used to move, push and lift materials in industries like mining, earthmoving and construction.  For example, the brakes on your car are hydraulically operated; the garbage truck uses hydraulic power to compact trash. 

A pneumatic system is a system that uses compressed air to transmit power. Usually, a centrally located compressor provides power to cylinders, rotary actuators, and other pneumatic devices through a system of tanks, pipes and valves.  For example, trucks and buses use air-actuated brakes. Spray painters use compressed air to spread paint.

The Imaginary Geography of Hollywood Cinema 1960-2000 combines digital cartography with close readings of representative films to write a history of twentieth century Hollywood narrative cinema at the intersection of the geographies of narrative location, production, consumption and taste in the post-classical era, before the rise of digital cinema.

This text reorients and redraws the boundaries of film history both literally and figuratively by cataloguing films’ narrative locations on digital maps to examine where Hollywood locates its narratives over time.

One of the most important elements to get a good photo is the lighting. It is essential for the photograph to be obtained with the best results, since it is useless to take a good shot without proper lighting.

There are several types of photographic lighting, the first is natural, which comes from the sun, the clarity of the day, a light that the photographer must know how to handle, since being a natural light you do not have control of it, you just learn to use it.  The second type of lighting is artificial lighting, which comes from created objects such as ring lights, reflectors, etc. The main characteristic of this type of light is that it does not vary, so it is controllable, and can be used at any time and place.  This ebook looks at lighting as it pertains to photography.

This video covers how horizontal window blinds work. The mechanism that allows this to work is at the very top. The cord lock allows the blinds to be held up by pinching the lift strings between two rollers. The tilting of the blinds is handled by the wand tilt mechanism or the cord tilt mechanism. These mechanisms turn the gears, which turn the rod, the drums, which pulls the ladder strings to tilt the blinds.

The video "How does an Electric Motor Work? (DC Motor)" explains the basics of electricity and magnetism to help understand how an electric motor works. The video demonstrates the creation of an electromagnet. It explains the function of a commutator in a DC motor, which switches the electromagnet's polarity on the armature as it spins. The number of loops on the armature determines the motor's torque, and the spinning motion can be converted into different types of movement to power devices. The video also promotes Brilliant, an educational website offering courses on math and science, including electricity and magnetism.

 Electric motors can seem very mysterious! How do they use electricity to start rotating? Let's break it down step by step to understand how it works. Topics covered in this video: circuits, current, magnets, electromagnets, armature, commutator, brushes, stator, and rotor. This video only covers DC motors.

That table top fan that you use is more interesting than you think!  I took mine apart to see how it works.  The "four speed mechanism" releases any other button that was previously pressed down. Once a button is pressed a signal (voltage) is sent to the motor at the top of the fan. The oscillation motion is produced through the 4 bar mechanism. 

The last part of the video covers the gears that turn the 4 bar mechanism. The pin is part of the gears - when it is lifted the gears don't connect and the fan will no longer oscillate back and forth.

This YouTube video provides a detailed demonstration of making interlocking stones in Nigeria. The process involves mixing sand, fine gravel, cement, and water in a specific ratio to produce a perfect mixture, which is poured into a lubricated mold. After 24 hours, the block is removed and sprinkled with water to harden over time. The video also provides helpful tips, including adding water to the mixture in bits to prevent the concrete from setting before filling the mold. The process produces around 150 interlocking stones from one bag of cement and 13 pans of sand mixture. The video ends by mentioning that the next section will focus on preparing the ground for the stones.

Interlocking paving stones, also known as interlocking pavers, are small slabs made of concrete or cement typically used in the construction of decks, driveways, walkways, patios and roads.

This video guide shows you how to make interlocking stones with material you can pick in the market. Save a lot of money by making your own interlocking stones.
