This video covers how horizontal window blinds work. The mechanism that allows this to work is at the very top. The cord lock allows the blinds to be held up by pinching the lift strings between two rollers. The tilting of the blinds is handled by the wand tilt mechanism or the cord tilt mechanism. These mechanisms turn the gears, which turn the rod, the drums, which pulls the ladder strings to tilt the blinds.

असत्य पर सत्य, कदाचार पर सदाचार, अंधकार पर प्रकाश की विजय के महापर्व प्रकाशोत्सव दीपावली की सभी देशवासियों को अनन्त शुभकामनाएं।

कामना करता हूँ कि प्रभु श्री राम के आशीर्वाद से आप सभी का जीवन सुख, शांति, सद्भाव व समृद्धि के उजास से आलोकित हो।

शुभ दीपावली..

The 2x2 Rubik's Cube has an interesting mechanism on the inside. Let's see how it works!

The Gyro-X will return to the Lane Motor Museum in Sept. 2019 This is a car from the 1960s that never made it to production. The prototype proved that a self balancing gyroscope car could work, but it was still years away from completion. Sadly the company went bankrupt before it could be finished. The Lane Motor Museum purchased the run down prototype car and restored it to it's original condition. The gyroscope is the key to how it works - it uses something called gyroscopic precession which can be tricky to understand. This video explains the car and the mechanism inside.
