Hi I am from India...like this video

As a fan collector who has restored countless oscillating fans, I’m very impressed at the detailed accuracy of this video. I’ve seen many other videos attempting to explain the inner workings of a fan but they were all full of vagueness and incorrect information. Well done! (The model of the fan in this video appears to be an SMC 12” oscillating fan, just had to point it out since I recognized it by its looks 😄)

but then you'd burn out the motor because of all the amperage flowing through, overclocking the fan to a degree that could fry every coil. motors are designed to only guzzle a certain amount of amps per second, just like they can only handle a certain amount of volts forcing it through. think of it like a heart: too much blood? the heart is unable to pump. too little blood? anaemia. heart too fast? heart attack. heart too slow? hypoxia be kind to fans. they are simple and delicate machines. their numerous blades? precious and delicate little things, that are so careful with air, only pushing it through, never forcing it. they sway and shake to express their joy at the world for letting them dance and sing better than any human could. be kind to fans edit: i took benadryl by accident

Cunard Line: Spare Every Expense You just breezed through your comment without oscillating your opinion. However, you did put some spin on it there at the end.

A very useful explanation of how the gear mechanism for the oscillating motion works behind the scene. The ball dropped out when I first removed the gearbox and the fan stopped oscillating after that.

Your videos are amazing! I'll have you know my 5yr old boy got so excited looking at the animation of the video I could barely control him. And it made me so happy to see him enjoy it so much. He loves technical stuff, tools, electronics, inventing things. Thank you for your contribution to KZread!

ANNNNNND... if the oscillating fan gets stuck while trying to oscillate, the ball bearings get pushed in like a ratchet and make that ratcheting sound and your fan doesn't break. ...was waiting for that part to come up but it didn't so I'm adding my 2 cents.

Awesome! I love these videos! I actually have to stop and play back a few seconds sometimes to fully understand how things work....these are great educational videos!

I thank you for this excellent educational video. Before watching your video, I had imagined that the side to side movement could be similar to the foot pedal movement seen in tailoring machines where the spinning movement of the flywheel can produce the up and down movement of the foot pedal (which is comparable to fan's side-to-side motion. I was not even aware that a thing called 4 bar mechanism existed at all. Your video was an eye opener..

I have been taken apart discarded fans for the last 2 years. This video explained the mechanics of all the parts I came across, including the 2 ballbearings and the spring. I love the quality of your visuals. It makes it so easy to understand. Thank you!!

These are the only ways to secure the knob.

I love the simple mechanics behind the day to day life objects, your videos are really cracking that to the core. I guess if these videos can be included in engineering schools, how much fun it would be to learn things again

Fascinating. I've just spent an afternoon servicing a couple of fans using the 'I wonder how this works and why have I got a spare screw left over method'. Even when you think you've got a pretty good idea what's going on, there are lots of clever ideas at play in one of these that you never even think about. Great video, many thanks.

Wow, I was literally wondering about this yesterday when I was sitting near an oscillating fan, and now I got this recommended today.

This is the type of video that I've always dreamed of watching!

Thanks for solving that fan mystery for me. This kinda itched for quite some time and I never had the opportunity to open the back of one.

Yep that’s correct. The “snap” you hear in the event of an obstructed oscillator is just the ball bearings hopping over the tabs in the worm gear. It’s does no major harm to the fan although it can put unnecessary load on the motor.

@TheSuperFanMan

4 жыл бұрын

Nicholas Lau you’re right that the worm gear system’s power transmission only works one-way as you mentioned. But that one-way system still can be slowed down. If there’s excessive resistance, worm gears will slow down and the motor will take on extra load. I’ve experimented this with fans before and you can certainly slow down a fan by obstructing the oscillator.

Great video. As a design of gas turbine engines and rocket engine turbo-pumps, the cost of development testing is so high, a lot of engines and turbo-pumps tend to be risk-adverse. However, with what looks like a simple, inexpensive consumer device like the fan in this video, your getting a lot of innovative technology because the cost of failure during testing is not very high. The fan in the video is a lot more complicated than most people would think. Not mentioned in the video is the technology applied to make the fan inexpensive to make and assemble.
