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.

In welding, a 1F tee joint is a type of joint where one of the pieces is perpendicular to the other, and the joint is formed at the intersection. In this video, the instructor demonstrates how to perform a 1F tee joint using shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). The process begins with preparation of the base metal, which involves cleaning and beveling the edges. The instructor emphasizes the importance of proper electrode selection, which is dependent on the base metal, and demonstrates how to insert the electrode into the welding machine and adjust the amperage. The welding process is then demonstrated, starting with a tack weld before filling the joint with filler metal. The instructor explains how to control the penetration and ensure a sound weld, and highlights the importance of safety measures such as wearing appropriate protective gear and maintaining a safe work environment. The finished product is a strong, clean weld that is ready for further use.





2F Tee Joint - Welding Level 5

In this video, a 2F Tee joint is formed when two metal plates are joined perpendicular to each other, creating a T shape. In this level 5 welding process, the joint is welded from the front side or the top side, hence it is called a 2F Tee joint. The joint preparation process involves cutting the metal plates to size, grinding the edges, and cleaning the surfaces. The welding process involves setting up the welding machine, positioning the plates, and tacking the plates to hold them in place. The welder then proceeds to weld the plates, moving the electrode in a circular motion to fill the joint with the molten filler metal. Careful attention is given to maintain the correct heat and speed to ensure that the weld is of high quality. The finished product is a strong, durable weld that can be used in a variety of applications.

Bending Of Gutter Using Metal Forming Machine - Welding Level 5
FREE

In this video, the instructor demonstrates how to bend a gutter using a metal forming machine. The machine used is a combination of a metal brake and a roll former that allows for the bending of sheet metal in different configurations. The instructor starts by explaining the different parts of the machine and the various adjustments that can be made to it. Safety precautions such as wearing gloves and safety glasses are emphasized before proceeding with the bending process. The instructor then demonstrates the proper technique for loading and feeding the sheet metal into the machine. They then adjust the machine settings to produce the desired angle and shape of the gutter. The finished product is a bent and formed gutter that can be used for various purposes such as drainage or roofing. The video concludes with a reminder to clean up the work area and switch off the machine.
