Electric Razor Electric Shaver/Razor the Electric Razor/Shaver

Electric Razor Electric Shaver/Razor The electric razor/shaver is a complex converter invention that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy for the purpose of rotating and vibrating various blades. At first glance it may seem a mystery as to how the energy is converted to effectively run this machine, but after some review and a little deconstruction, the entire process is easily explained and quite ingenious. The electrical energy for the razor is extracted from an electrical outlet via a plug and chord that is connected to a charger.

For most electrical razors, the average amount being sent through is 8 watts of power per day to charge. Those 8 watts are stored in the charger and transferred to the razor's battery which stores the electricity until the razor is used. This is where the electrical energy remains until the razor is switched into the on position. When the razor is switched on, the electricity is transferred to the motor and lights through a printed circuit board.

The board transfers a small charge to the green LED light, which signals that the razor is fully charged. As the razor loses power, the circuit board switches from green to red to signal the need to recharge. The circuit board sends a larger charge from the battery to the electric motor. This charge triggers the motor to begin quickly rotating a small turbine. The turbine is attached to a small gear that turns very quickly in response to the turbine's power.

This is what is considered the transfer from electrical to mechanical energy, as the mechanical components within the razor will now trigger various responses all powered initially by the turbine. The small gear is attached to a larger gear that is twice the size. The reason for the larger gear is to slow down the total mechanical rotation. In fact, the gear is sized to allow two and one half rotations of the smaller gear to equal one rotation of the larger gear effectively slowing the rotation to half speed.

This is the required speed for the blade rotation. The large gear fits perfectly between three smaller gears. These gears rotate at the same speed as the large gear. The small gears are fused to turbines which rotate with the blades. Each turbines is attached to one of the cutting blades. When the turbine turns, so do the blades. For safety, the blades are attached to aluminum covers and never actually make contact with the skin.

Ungraded models also utilize springs and a shaft to allow the blades the ability to move.
