Hospital bed and transformer: what they have in common
- Step 1. Hospital bed — has part — Lead screw. Adjustment by a screw.
- Step 2. Lead screw — is part of — 3D printer. The axes are moved by screws.
- Step 3. 3D printer — has part — Servomotor. Stepper motors.
- Step 4. Servomotor — uses — Electromagnetism. A servo is an electric motor with feedback.
- Step 5. Electromagnetism — evolved into — Electromagnetic induction. Faraday looked for the reverse of Ørsted’s discovery and found induction.
- Step 6. Electromagnetic induction — is used in — Transformer. Induction between the windings.
