Summary of How does an Oscillating Fan work?
The video explains how an oscillating fan works by converting the spinning motion of the fan into a side-to-side motion.
The mechanism behind the fan's oscillation is based on a four-bar mechanism, where bars are connected by pins allowing for different motions.
The fan's oscillation is achieved through a gear system inside the fan, including a worm, worm gear, and crank connected by a pin with gear teeth.
The speed of the crank is slower than the fan's speed to prevent damage, achieved through the right combination of gears.
The video features Jared, who creates 3D animations explaining how things work.
