PARTS OF A ELECTRIC FAN

Fan Blades

The blades are one of the most identifiable features of

most fans. These are the paddle-shaped objects that
spin and move air through the fan. They're angled to carry air from one point
to another. Some fans have a switch that allows users to control the direction
of the airflow while others blow air in only one direction based on the angle
of their blades.

Center Hub

The hub is located in the center of the fan blades.

It is the device that connects the motor to the fan
blades – without it, your fan would simply not work as the blades and the rest
of the fan would be two different pieces. In other words, the hub keeps
everything together.
 Fan Motor

The motor is what makes an electric fan go.

Whether it's a ceiling fan, a window fan, a desk fan, a computer fan or an
automotive fan, they all need power to keep turning and moving air, which
typically comes from a motor. Ceiling fan motors are housed above the hub
of the fan in special motor housing. Box fans and desk fan motor housing
units are typically located behind the hub. Computer fans and automotive
fans may or may not have motors separate from the machinery they service,
and some models rely on the car or computer's own power supply to turn the
fan.

Power Switch

Stating that electrical

fans run on electricity
may seem like an over-
simplification, but
electrical components
must be present in order for the fan to work. When a switch is flipped, the
circuit is whole and power can run from an outside power source to the motor
to power the fan and make it rotate. Not all fans have an obvious switch. Fans
found in computers start when the computer starts; the switch is thrown when
the power is supplied to the whole unit.
 Electrical Wiring
Without wiring, a fan could not access
and use electricity to its full potential and
would have to rely on natural stimuli,
such as wind, to move, which would be
difficult indoors or inside machinery. A
wall plug for a desk fan converts energy
flowing into a house's outlet into a medium the fan can use. Wiring carries
the electricity throughout the fan to the motor and to the blades to make them
turn.

Bladeless Fans

There are newer fans on the

market that are a little
different from traditional fans
– namely, they're bladeless, so
they lack fan blades. Instead,
they use newer technology
that draws air into the machine
and sends it out using
principles of low pressure that
amplifies the airflow for a
bladeless fan experience.
 PARTS OF POWER SUPPLY

Rectifier
The rectifier is a device used to change the ac power into
pulsating dc. The basic rectifier is the diode. This diode is a
unidirectional device that operates as rectifier in the forward
direction. The three basic rectifier circuits using diodes are the
half-wave, full-wave center-tapped and full-wave bridge type.

Ripple and Ripple factor

Ripple is the unwanted ac component of the signal after rectification. It

is unwanted because it can destroy or damage the load. This is the
main reason why filters are installed in power supply - to prevent high
ripples. The job of the filter is to smoothen the signal and suppress the
ac component or variations. Ripple factor is the ratio of the root mean
square of the ripple voltage to the value of dc component at the output
voltage. It is sometimes expressed in percentage or in peak-to-peak
value. The ripple factor determines the effectivity of a filter being used
in the circuit.
 PARTS OF FLAT IRON

Irons, used to press the wrinkles out of clothes with the use of
heat, have been around for centuries. While they continue to
follow the same basic operating process, modern irons
incorporate steam as a way of efficiently pressing clothes while
minimizing the risk of scorching them.

Sole Plate
The sole plate, or base, of the iron is flat and roughly triangular in
shape. The modern metal of choice for sole plates is aluminum coated
with a non-stick material. The sole plate, which is heated and applied
to wrinkled clothing, allows a user to concentrate on small areas that
need extra attention.

Thermostat
Modern flat irons have thermostats built into them to let a user control
the sole plate temperature. More delicate fabrics require little heat
while heavy duty fabrics require much more heat. The thermostat is
essentially a spring with power contacts on the end mounted on a
metal post. Electricity passes through the contacts to heat the sole
plate.
 PARTS OF WASHING MACHINE

Detergent Dispenser
On a front-loading machine, your detergent dispenser will
usually be a pull out drawer, or (usually with a top-loading
machine) it may be a part of the agitator. This drawer is
pretty straightforward – it’s where you put your liquid or
powdered detergent, whichever you choose to use, and your
fabric softener.
Controls, Dials & Buttons
The range of buttons and dials on different washing machine models can
be the stuff of nightmares for many mums, particularly if your new machine
in no way resembles your old one. What button do you press? Which way
should you point this dial?

Don’t worry! In many cases, you’ll have a temperature setting (e.g. 30

degrees celsius), a cycle setting (e.g. pre-wash cycle, rinse cycle and so
on) and a fabric setting (e.g. a wool setting and a synthetics setting) – you’ll
usually only need to focus on these three control panels, and they’re pretty
self explanatory.
 PARTS OF BLENDER

1. Blender Jar
This is the receptacle into which the ingredients are placed. The blender jar sits
snugly or locks in place on top of the main base which houses the motor and blade
assembly. The bottom of the blender jar is open to allow the blade access to do its
job. Though many blender jars are made of glass they can also be plastic and
metal. Your more high-end blenders will have blender jars made from tempered
glass as well as having measurement markings on the side.
2. Blender Jar Lid
The jar lid covers the top of the blender jar allowing you to safely operate the
blender without your ingredients exploding from the jar. The lid is generally plastic
or glass and usually has a rubber stopper attached to form a tight seal.
3. Jar Lid Center Cap
The center cap is that small plastic thing found in the center of the lid. It helps to
keep liquids in but also allows you to add ingredients easily while the blender is
running.
 PARTS OF MICRO OVEN

A microwave oven (also commonly referred to as a microwave) is an

electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic
radiation in the microwave frequency range[1]. This induces polar
molecules in the food to rotate and produce thermal energy in a process
known as dielectric heating. Microwave ovens heat foods quickly and
efficiently because excitation is fairly uniform in the outer 25–38 mm (1–1.5
inches) of a homogeneous, high water content food item; food is more
evenly heated throughout than generally occurs in other cooking
techniques. The development of the cavity magnetron in the UK made
possible the production of electromagnetic waves of a small enough
wavelength (microwaves). American engineer Percy Spencer is generally
credited with inventing the modern microwave oven after World War
II from radar technology developed during the war. Named the
"Radarange", it was first sold in 1946. Raytheon later licensed its patents
for a home-use microwave oven that was first introduced by Tappan in
1955, but these units were still too large and expensive for general home
use.
 PARTS OF RICE COOKER

A rice cooker or rice steamer is an automated kitchen

appliance designed to boil or steam rice. It consists of a heat source, a
cooking bowl, and a thermostat. The thermostat measures the
temperature of the cooking bowl and controls the heat. Complex rice
cookers may have many more sensors and other components, and
may be multipurpose. A basic rice cooker has a main body (pot), an
inner cooking container which the rice is in contact with, an
electric heating element, and a thermostat.
The bowl is filled with rice and water and heated at full power; the
water reaches and stays at boiling point (100 °C, 212 °F).[1] When the
water has all been absorbed, the temperature can rise above boiling
point, which trips the thermostat. Some cookers switch to low-power
"warming" mode, keeping the rice at a safe temperature of
approximately 65 °C (150 °F); simpler models switch off; the rice has
entered the resting phase.
