Modelling Mechanisms (MM) aims to show the beauty of mechanisms & 3D modelling. In this series of videos, we will explore the world around us as well as History to look at the most beautiful, creative & original mechanisms. They will range from the invisible mechanism that you and I use every day, to more sophisticated contraptions used on aircrafts, all the way back to Da Vinci's never built machines.

Using Fusion 360, join me on an adventure to understand what the bright minds of our world invented to improve our lives.

Today's episode concerns the oscillating fan. We all have used one at least once in our life, and I cannot be the only one who wondered why pushing that little button at the back activates the rotation of the ensemble, and how it only covers a specific range instead of turning completely around itself.
While the mechanism looks simple at first, it is truly a beautiful use of very simple mechanical elements (levers and gears) to convert the rotation of the motor into the fan's back and forth movement that we see on the exterior.

I sincerely hope you'll enjoy the video, and I cannot wait to hear your feedback. If you liked the video and are as excited as I am for the future projects, don't hesitate to like and subscribe to the channel.
