In this animated and interactive object, learners examine the voltages that develop across two series zener diodes, which are connected in opposite directions, when DC and AC voltages are applied across them. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Learners read a description of torque and study the factors that cause its magnitude to change.

In this animated activity, students view how the Wheatstone bridge is used to activate a temperature alarm. A short quiz completes the lesson.

Students solve six problems for series impedance using complex numbers. Immediate feedback is given.

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.

Picture of Adira hydraulic shear's operator's panel with part identification and instructions on how to start and stop the shear as well as setting stroke (cutting length).

Introduces two methods of determining bend allowance; one is simple and is an approximate, the other is more precise. Interactive part has learner calculate bend allowance and blank size.

The learner reads about safety considerations for operating a hydraulic metal shear. Text, graphics and a brief assessment are included.

In this learning activity you'll review safety considerations for persons using a hydraulic iron worker and takes a short quiz.
