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 😄)
it would be interesting to add something related, but assuming how schools work, that includes creating models of it and stuff like that, or things that will just drain out more time for students.
I already knew how these fans work, in fact, I've rebuilt a few, but your animations are genius. And you're right about the ball bearings, PITA. Keep up the good work.
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!!
@@kaarukun1867Do these. Look at the hole in the knob. If there is a screw remove it, then pull the knob. Or, try to turn the knob CCW or CW. It may be threaded. Or, look for a small hole on the side of the knob. If there is one, it may have a screw. Finally, give the nub a good pull. It may pop out. Don’t use too much force. These are the only ways to secure the knob.
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.
I feel like one day when we are way too advance in the future, this kind of video really does help the future us to look back and mesmerize our current technology.
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.

Me at 2AM: tryin to find some videos that can help me get sleep RUclips: yo man have you ever wonder how fan oscillate? Dumb me: no, but i am right now
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
@@Azukaae probably about Aidan Matthew Galea ruining the joke because he explained it like a chad. Some beta ass male who complained because he can’t comprehend what Aidan said.
It's Saturday night, 10:30pm, February 3 2024. I'm 65 years young from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. I just learned how an oscillating fan works. I LOVE IT ❤️. I have to watch more of this Channel 😍 😊
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. I have visited some other animation channels but they can't deliver the content the way you do. The way you explain and keep the focus on the topic is brilliant.
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 Actually, there is no load put on the motor by forcibly stopping the oscillating motion. It is impossible to transmit motion to a worm gear in the opposite direction, and the reduction gears would break first, long before the motor speed is retarded.
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.
Worm gears have a large diff in gear ratio..i.e speed diff... Eg..while input speed is 750 rpm the output would be 30 or 50 rpm..+the diff in 3 modes of speed in terms of rpm might be noticable but due to the large step down in gears.. The oscilation speed change is not significat ... I guess....
Thank you for the explanation on how the oscillation works and those ball bearings. I was able to salvage some old parts from my broken fan and fixed my current fan's oscillation.
If you timed it you would most likely see that it is actually not constant. It’s just because the gears slow the oscillation down so much compared to the fan, the fan speed doesn’t make much difference to the oscillation speed.
chris toey if 2400 rpm at speed setting of 3 means 5 rotations per minute then 1200 rpm at speed setting 1 should mean 2 .5 rotations. But it doesn't slow that much.
Impressed and amazed on how he does these animations like the time he does for the animation and research. Detailed and very well explained. Keep up the great work👍👍👍. Respect from the Phillipines🇵🇭.Also Jared I suggest you make on what's inside of the Titanic for some specials I know its hard But I know you can do it.
Although some fans use a small motor called a synchronous motor to make it oscillate left and right just like some remote controlled electric fans and thanks to you i learn how a fan works and manage to take it apart for maintenance and cleaning

Hey man I managed to fix my non oscillating fan from watching your video. My fixed pane is not 'fixing' so I fixed it back. Thank you for this video you're a lifesaver🎉
7:40 me when I found out there was no snow day after all Great animation though, Jared! I like the simple walkthrough animations of these regular objects that are actually very cool on the inside. Have a good one!
In my memory the oscillation is always at the same speed..but wouldn't this configuration make it oscillate way to fast on the fastest fan speed ? And great Video, as always :)
It does change--it's just that the settings between low, medium, and high fan speeds aren't huge. Typical table fans have speeds of something like: Low: 950 rpm Medium: 1050 rpm High: 1150 rpm Note that these are both just about 10% increases in speed. A 10% increase in speed isn't that visually noticeable, but in terms of noise and energy requirements when you're already moving fast, it can be noticeable.
@@maxweelus I actually just timed my fan's oscillation speed. At low speed, one oscillation before changing direction was around 10 seconds, on high, this was brought down to 5 seconds. So, for my fan anyway, the oscillation speed is definitely not constant and it seems high is about twice the rpm, but according to Karl's comment, this may not be the case
It's funny: I came here, because I was actually looking for an explanation of how fans work. Then I saw that this is your most recent video. What lucky man am I to have discovered you at this point! You got my sub. Looking forward for new content (and to revise your old content!). :-)

A fan doesn’t cool down a room, it simply moves air around, often giving the impression that it’s blowing cool air at you. Otherwise really cool and well made video. Your animations are crazy good
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.
This may be the only time I tried to look up how a thing works before I start taking it apart to solve it - and immediately got a useful, comprehensible result so can start troubleshooting. Thank you!
When i was a kid, I'm always curious how the fan oscillating....if i ask my father and mom, they maybe not able to answer that....so i open the fan my self to see what inside.... At that time i understand the linkage mechanism, but i don't know the gear box is in there...
I've wondered this for ever but could never find a simple explanation like yours. Today it showed up in my recommended feed. Finally, my curiosity is satisfied! Thanks so much!
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 RUclips!
Jared: before we take a look at the gearbox a quick word from our sponsor Nord vpn 3d animation: oh I'm supposed to stop?? *proceeds to open the gearbox* 3d animation: oops too late
Thank you very much!! Keep up the good work. Because of your detailed video, I was able to repair my fan because I was able to pinpoint that the problem was from the gear box.

2:11 I can't be the only one who tried to press down all three speeds as a kid.
And thru this video we now know why all three can get stuck at once.
@@fractera when i was a kid, i thought i can change the speed to fasters ones by pressing the buttons together. Like 2 and 3 would make the speed=5.

The real question is: where to sit so that you get the most wind from an oscillating fan.
It depends on the four-hand mechanism. Some fans stays very long on the edge of the oscillation, so that's usually the best place.
Sit close to the fan and hog all the wind haha!

get an oscillating chair linked with gears to an external fan.. or if you want to save power/ fuel, use the same fan motor

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.
Jared owen: 8 mins
Lecture: 2 Hours A day for a week
when you were doing the animation of the fan rotation moving as fast as the motor, i was laughing so hard
2 years later I don't even know how I found that funny...
After watching the video
Me: *STARTING TO PLAY MY ELECTRIC FAN*
This may be the only time I tried to look up how a thing works before I start taking it apart to solve it - and immediately got a useful, comprehensible result so can start troubleshooting.
Thank you!
7:42 that made me laugh so hard I fell face first on my fan!😂
LOL
Can you please make a video about “how does oil rigs dig”.
7:42 this part was funny for me atleast 😂
Kingseeker BACKUP me too🤣
Yeah🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
...but the fan says no no no no no no funny XD
Same XD
Nunca pensei que ficaria entusiasmado com um vídeo descrevendo o funcionamento de um ventilador. Parabéns.
Fanny: I HATE LOOKING AT MY INTERNAL SKELETON
Great
Please do the machine that resets pins at othe bowling ally!
4:38 when the gear box is SUS😳😳😳
Amogus 😳

Clear explanation for any one to understand. Jared Owen videos are a blessing to students and tech minded old and young people.
When i was a kid, I'm always curious how the fan oscillating....if i ask my father and mom, they maybe not able to answer that....so i open the fan my self to see what inside.... At that time i understand the linkage mechanism, but i don't know the gear box is in there...
6:41 SUPER WOBBLE 😂😂😂😂
Fan lore explained
Well done video. You nailed it. This is so interesting and informative to know. Thank you 🙏
*"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CUT ME OFF-"*
I’ve been looking at my fan when i wathced this
Oscillating fan lore
I've wondered this for ever but could never find a simple explanation like yours. Today it showed up in my recommended feed. Finally, my curiosity is satisfied! Thanks so much!
Lets be real, it ain't working without me
Actually you are right. But without power supplies, you are nothing 😂.

I’m a big fan
..heh...
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 RUclips!
Jared: before we take a look at the gearbox a quick word from our sponsor Nord vpn
3d animation: oh I'm supposed to stop?? *proceeds to open the gearbox*
3d animation: oops too late
Lmao i noticed that too
How many people came from the fan lore video.
Me lmao
Electric fan lore
I still can’t believe you made all the engineering concepts into a 8 minutes video including advert and channel intro. Great work.
everyone watching this video will by granted big brain
Thank you very much!! Keep up the good work. Because of your detailed video, I was able to repair my fan because I was able to pinpoint that the problem was from the gear box.
Sit back and relax and wear

For expearience
i have a serious question: when i speed up the fan aka putting it in 3 level. the speed of the rotation back and forth doesnt change. how ?
It does change. But the difference is small.
It does change--it's just that the settings between low, medium, and high fan speeds aren't huge. Typical table fans have speeds of something like:
Low: 950 rpm
Medium: 1050 rpm
High: 1150 rpm
Note that these are both just about 10% increases in speed. A 10% increase in speed isn't that visually noticeable, but in terms of noise and energy requirements when you're already moving fast, it can be noticeable.
