E. TROUBLESHOOTING
If the LED does not light up or the motor does not run when you slide the switch:
• Check that your batteries are fresh or freshly charged.
• Check that the bare metal ends of all the wires are all touching the metal of the terminal caps.
If the motor runs but the reflectors do not spin:
• Make sure the pulley belt runs through the channels on the two pulleys.
F. HOW IT WORKS
The
motor turns the small
pulley,
which turns the large pulley with the pulley belt.
The
difference in
size
of the pulleys means that the
large pulley turns more slowly than the motor.
The
large pulley turns the reflectors.
When
the reflectors are behind the
LED,
you can see
the light from the
LED itself,
and each reflector reflects the LED's light towards you as it is directly opposite your eyes.
This
makes a
series of four
quick
flashes.
When
the reflectors are in front of the
LED,
the LED and it's reflections are hidden from you.
Whichever
side
of the light you stand you still see the four quick flashes and then darkness, over and over again.
G. Fun facts
•
This
emergency light makes flashes by
covering
and
uncovering
the LED.
Other
emergency lights flash by turning the LED on and off in
quick succession.
•
All
emergency
vehicles (police cars, ambulances,
fire
trucks,
and breakdown
trucks)
need flashing lights to warn people in
vehicles
and
pedestrians of their presence.
• Flashing lights are easier for our brains to detect than steady lights, so they attract our attention better.
• Emergency vehicles use sirens as well as lights to attract our attention, in case they are approaching from behind us.
• Unmarked police cars carry a magnetic emergency light that can be attached to the car’s roof.
• A flashing emergency light can be seen from many kilometres away.
• Emergency vehicles use red or blue flashing lights
(or both). This
makes them look different to white or yellow street lights, or the
yellow flashing lights on construction vehicles.
• Lighthouses use rotating mirrors and lenses to send out a bright beam of light across the sea. Different lighthouses make different
patterns of flashes so that seafarers can identify them.
