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.

How does an Electric Motor Work?
How does an Electric Motor Work?
FREE

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.

How To Mould Interlocking Stones In Nigeria
How To Mould Interlocking Stones In Nigeria
FREE

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.
