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!!

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.

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.
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.
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.
Yeah, initially when I saw the ball bearings I thought, "Oh, that's how it does [the thing you're talking about]." So I was surprised it wasn't mentioned.

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.
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.
@@ntnwwnet they were hacked once. Also, breaches occur everyday, like Canva, Facebook, etc. It's not smart to stop using a service because they were breached once.
you shouldn't really show public ip addresses in videos or movies ect, because many people might get the idea to try connecting to it causing a lot of network traffic. That's why movies / tv shows use invalid ip addresses like 712.542.612.124
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....
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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!
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

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!

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'm guessing those spring loaded balls also act as a clutch so if something obstructs the oscillating motion the gears don't break

Fan lore explained
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!
How many people came from the fan lore video.
Me lmao
2:14 that means I can push 2 button and lock them at the same time with that kind of design.
Fanny: I HATE LOOKING AT MY INTERNAL SKELETON
Great
This animation is very useful to clear my concepts. Thank you for
your wonderful explanation❤
Oscillating fan lore
Electric fan lore
Clear explanation for any one to understand. Jared Owen videos are a blessing to students and tech minded old and young people.
I’m a big fan
..heh...
How does the gear box maintain the same oscillation speed regardless of the choisen fan speed ?
huh. Very good question.
It doesn't. Try 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
*"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CUT ME OFF-"*
Well done video. You nailed it. This is so interesting and informative to know. Thank you 🙏
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.
The ballbearings have a double function.if the movement of the fan is blocked, they prevent the motor from burning out
So that’s the clicking sound when you hold the fan still
@@CT-vm4gf you would be correct there
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
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.
Can you please make a video about “how does oil rigs dig”.
everyone watching this video will by granted big brain
1:10 yeah, especially in front of the blades
i can't believe your videos still have under 10M views. i watched these long ago and i knew these are the best videos and as i came to watch again i was like yo this has to have above 20M
when i saw 5.2m i double check my eyes thinking may be it's 52M
7:40 i laughed too much at this😂
Yeah😂😂😂😂
