   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Diehl_(inventor)

   The fan was invented in 1882 by Schuyler Skaats Wheeler. A few years later, Philip Diehl mounted a fan blade on a sewing machine motor and attached it to the ceiling, inventing the ceiling fan, which he applied for patent in August which was granted on November 12, 1889. [5] Later, he added a light fixture to the ceiling fan.

3. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)

   A household electric fan A large cylindrical fan. A fan is a powered machine that creates airflow. A fan consists of rotating vanes or blades, generally made of wood, plastic, or metal, which act on the air. The rotating assembly of blades and hub is known as an impeller, rotor, or runner. Usually, it is contained within some form of housing ...

4. Oscillating cylinder steam engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillating_cylinder_steam...

   An oscillating cylinder engine cannot be reversed by means of the valve linkage (as in a normal fixed cylinder) because there is none. Reversing of the engine can be achieved by reversing the steam connections between inlet and exhaust or, in the case of small engines, by shifting the trunnion pivot point so that the port in the cylinder lines up with a different pair of ports in the port face.

5. Ceiling fan - Wikipedia

   He had engineered the electric motor used in the first electrically powered Singer sewing machines, and in 1882 he adapted that motor for use in a ceiling-mounted fan. Each fan had its own self-contained motor unit, with no need for belt drive. [2] Almost immediately he faced fierce competition due to the commercial success of the ceiling fan.

6. Rockwell Tools - Wikipedia

   Rockwell Tools also offers a variety of specialty tools including the Sonicrafter, an oscillating multi-tool that is used for remodeling and general home improvement. The Jawhorse is a clamping device that is similar in style to a bench vise, but offers hands-free operation.

7. Cam (mechanism) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)

   The cam can be seen as a device that converts rotational motion to reciprocating (or sometimes oscillating) motion. [clarification needed] [3] A common example is the camshaft of an automobile, which takes the rotary motion of the engine and converts it into the reciprocating motion necessary to operate the intake and exhaust valves of the cylinders.

9. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

   The motor may be attached to the end of the actuator. The drive motor is of typical construction with a solid drive shaft that is geared to the drive nut or drive screw of the actuator. Compact linear actuators use specially designed motors that try to fit the motor and actuator into the smallest possible shape.
