The learner reads an explanation of how to determine lengths for tubing and pipe bending and then performs calculations in an interactive exercise. Two methods for determining angle bends are shown. A calculator is required.
This animated lesson shows how a ladder circuit causes the cylinder of a hydraulic circuit to continuously extend and retract after a Start button has been pressed.
In this animated object, learners examine the situation that occurs when any two links of a mechanism lie in the same plane or on a straight line. Crank-sliders and crank-rockers are shown.
Learners examine the changes in current and voltage values in a parallel circuit when open and short conditions develop. Ohm's Law calculations are shown, and a brief quiz completes the activity.
This animated guide presents an FAA map and aerial photos showing various areas of interest to student pilots enrolled in flight training at FVTC Aviation at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, WI. The airport is the site of the annual Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture Oshkosh. This object has sound.
Learners view an animated presentation showing how the pH level of a cleaning solution is controlled in a closed-loop system in a manufacturing setting. A quiz completes the activity.
Learners view waveforms at various locations of an SCR circuit controlling the intensity a light bulb. The waveforms are shown when the light is dim, at medium brightness, and at full brightness. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Video based Learning Object showing passenger vehicle and light duty truck Event Data Recorders (Airbag Control modules and Powertrain Control Modules).
Using the Microstepping Technique for Stepper Motors
Learners view animations showing how electrical signals are applied to the coils of a stepper motor to perform microstepping. A short quiz completes the activity.
Learners view video clips demonstrating acid-fast staining procedures. Correctly stained slides are shown. The learning object includes two matching exercises.
The TI-86 Scientific Calculator: Using the Reciprocal Function for Complex Numbers
This primer introduces the student to the correct method of using complex reciprocals in a TI-86 calculator. The solution of total impedance of a parallel circuit in rectangular form is shown.
