Dear, I drive a Mitsubishi outlander phev 2015, I have a problem, as soon as I start the car, the wipers come on and I can't turn them off. Can you help me?
Question...I would like to make this for my haunted garage next yr..but you did not explain how the motor is connected and how it is activated when someone is on the bridge. I'm a visual person and do not understand how that part works.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Did you in fill the gap between the 2 plyboads and spindles, as looks like it at the end of the vid? If so what did you use to do this. Cheers again for sharing
Next time please keep the music to next to nothing. It stops us from hearing you and if, like me, you are hard of hearing it makes it impossible. I gave up after a couple minutes simply because teh audio was so poor.
How to instantly improve any tutorial? Answer: By not putting background "music" when there's vocal explaning going on. It's distracting, repetitive and 9 times out of 10, way too loud. Usually, it makes me go search for another tutorial, preferably with just the voice.
Just watched because I was wanting to turn some old torches into lamps for my 1st grade classroom. I am trying for a Lilo and Stitch theme and thought this would be cool for the afternoon during afternoon stations
Could a wiper motor be used as a linear actuator with defined stops at fully extended and fully retracted. How could this be done and how much weight could consistently pushed, pulled, lifted, or lowered? Thanks
Journeyman steel mill electrician here; Thumbs up for creating a very well illustrated explanation of controlling DC motors direction, including dynamic braking. This is a huge help when explaining this to an apprentice. Thanks for sharing.
2:32 Um No. The difference is, one is just a switch and the other is that is has a switch "inside" it. So you are wrong. It is not nothing. That's like saying "there is no difference between CHEESE and a PIZZA"
2:00 "When you flip it up the light comes on". Not true. That switch is a 3 Way Switch. There is a time when turn the switch down is turning the light on.
1:40 Light switch "The simplest thing you will find in you home" Um NO! Not even close. First don't for get all the years and development that went into creating that switch. It has moving parts. It must be able to take the current. It must be safe. I have other examples but there is no point when I tell you the many other things that are way more simple , even when you include manufacturing. Spoons, forks, plates, doors, hinges and many others are WAY more simple.
Why not just use two SPDT relays and be done with it? Breaking, polarity reversal, and power on and off are all taken care of. Far less convoluted. I have diagrams but youtub is not letting me post links to it.
THANK YOU!!! Exactly what I’ve been looking for! About to build my first animatronic Christmas figure; a life size grinch trying to pull a string of Christmas lights off the roof. So just a back and forth motion. The only trick now is find a creative way to hide the machinery from view.
thanks!!! i have been killing my head with how to apply this motor to a project and your video was the CLEAREST and most informative one. it’s brilliant concise and show confidence in your knowledge.
This is Hands Down the very BEST Video and Explanation on how to design different motions for our numerous props. I've watched video after video after ...and No One on here, explains it as well as Creepy Creations has done in this extremely helpful video. Not all of us, have Mechanical mines....and not all of us are good with Puzzles or Angles or are able to visualize how something should work. I can't believe that no one else, is able to break things down, as easily as Creepy Creations is able to do. I admire everyone and anyone, who is able to figure things out on there own....but....I can barely tie my own shoes, without referring to the instructional video, that someone else made for me. LOL Here is a Huge TIP for anyone, who is ever thinking of doing an Instructional Video.....on any thing! Make your Video's so SIMPLE , and Break them down....Step by Step....so that any 3 year old ( Or myself) is able to grasp and understand what you are trying to say. Just because someone can Play the Game....doesn't necessarily mean that they are able to Coach the game. I'm still looking for someone that can explain and show clear easy to understand videos on how to add a Motion Sensor to a Props or all of our Props? I'm still looking for a really good video on how Pneumatics.....NO ONE had done a Video on HOW TO DO Pneumatics? Everyone doing these Videos THINKS.....that they are talking to or instructing themselves....they ALL assume, that we know what the hell they are talking about! Doh.....not ever close! No one does a Video on where they hide their Compressor ( Pretty basic) .....or....how they hook up the simplest Prop ( I am sure, that No One started with a Fire Breathing Dragon!) and what tools and parts are needed etc. How about starting off with a SIMPLE explanation on how to make a Coffin Lid go UP and Down, using Pneumatics? Its as if......they don't want anyone else, stealing their Thunder? lol How about someone doing a SIMPLE Video on how their Control Boards work???? It makes me Laugh, when you see the You Tube videos, where the guy is just Rambling Off....these Foreign names of the things that they are using, as if.......everyone understands what the Hell, they are talking about.....and how they work and why? LOL Most Tutorials really don't help out very much ( Besides just some thing to see and watch ) .....if the person filming them.....Does not take the time....to break it down and explain what ever they are doing, and WHY....and HOW IT WORKS!?! Creepy Creations should do a Video on how to make a Video! Thanks sooooo much, for making this Video on how the various motions are made possible, while using a Motor. You really should offer a course for anyone.....wanting to Post an Instructional Video on You Tube. YOU are the BEST! Thanks so much!
@@jackspratt4343 Wiper motors are a funny thing. They are strong and withstand high winds and rain and still move. Yet when you pick up the blade you can move the motor. Some you can't. It really depends on the motor, the load, how it is installed and purpose. BTW Just to make sure you understand, when people talk about this "Shorting" or "power lock/stopping", the energy that forces the motor to stop, dissipates very fast and is no longer there. This is mainly used to stop the motor quickly and not let it keep rotating with the momentum. If there is a load applied and the motor starts to turn, the motor becomes a generator. When that happens the motor starts putting OUT power, but locks again because of the short. This is not a true lock tho. If the motor is parallel to the ground and a lever is attached to the shaft (like a clock) and on the end of the lever you attach a weight. The weight will eventually rotate all the way down. Power off , lock, energy dissipates, weight makes lever rotate the shaft, power is produced and motor "locks" again. Cycle begins again until weight is all the way down. If you put the lever rotating level and parallel with the ground , then most likely the motor will say in that position. Again, It really depends on the motor, the load, how it is installed and purpose. If you need a motor that will hold position then you should look into getting a worm geared motor.
May I ask, does the 'breaking' of the motor uses this method cause undue wear on the motor. Would it burn the motor out quickly or is it just routine wear and tear ? Many thanks. This is excellent.
