Explainer videos for terms from STEM subjects

Torque from the perspective of technical mechanics

06:15

This video illustrates the use of the concepts of force, lever arm, moment and free moment. The concepts are explained clearly using the example of tightening a wheel nut and an experiment on the beam balance.

Angular momentum from the perspective of technical mechanics

06:23

Why does the figure skater suddenly turn faster than before after tightening her arms? The angular momentum and the effects of the principle of conservation of angular momentum are shown in a real-life context and the relationships between the mathematical definition can be observed directly in the experiment.

Entropy from the perspective of thermodynamics

10:59

Explainer videos to accompany lectures

Bearings and bearing arrangements - basic knowledge

06:50

In this video series, important basic terms are explained from an engineering perspective and correlations are shown. What forces act on a component, how can components be supported and what are the effects of forces and moments in and on a component? All these questions are explained coherently in the video series.
