My bus has those exact seatbelts, mosly on the seats (safeguard belts), so I want to know how they work.

[@Kids_Scissors]

That would be a real short video tho. The mechanism isn't too complex.

[@davidt01]

The reason I love these videos are: 1) They are clearly explained, with excellent animations, to say nothing of the 3D components. 2) You don't leave anything out. When the video is over you know exactly how it works, with no boxes/mechanisms left unexplained, for those who need a thorough explanation. Even if you forget how it works in the future, and just take it for granted that it does, it's always nice to remember that you knew how it worked at one time, so you know it's not "magic".

[@JaredOwen]

Thank you David!

Amazing animation, one of the clearest I've watched, and thanks for giving the parts their names ie "end stiffeners".

[@vyrrumdrakus8028]

Lol thanks man! You saved me! I pulled the strings on the blinds in my moms house and the lock part was rusty and locked up at the top. My mom yelled for 5 mins, and was really mad saying I needed to buy her a new one now, I watched this video. Figured out the rusty lock part was preventing the blinds from going back down. Shoved my pocket knife in there and BAM the blinds fell down. Took 3 mins to find the solution and fix the issue. Thanks a bunch lol.

[@b.s.3645]

Ive been taking a look at his upload dates and video lengths and as far as I can see he needs a whole month for each 7½ minutes of his video (2 months for 15 minutes etc). This means he needs around 4 days in average for each minute of content he produces. (I would guess he works around an hour daily but relaxed, his videos look very passionate, so I think he has a huge fun making them every day, almost like a video game) All this information is just my guess based on analysing his situation and combining it with my own experience throughout life

[@baidykle1]

Thank you. I have really old blinds that do not look good anymore because of how old and used they are, so I am considering covering them with black out fabric and making sort of "roman shades" and this video reassured me that I can safely remove the two strings that flip the blinds and just leave the one that lifts them up and down.

[@trinomial-nomenclature]

This is perfect, my blinds broke last year and I haven't been able/willing to replace them as they would be expensive (they're quite large). Your video really helped me understand how they work and with the link in the description, I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out. Your videos are always very informative, very well put together and I usually learn something I didn't know before! Another idea for a video, but staying with blinds/curtains/shades are those "cordless roller shades". They're the ones you pull down, then to raise them, you pull down slightly and let go allowing them to roll back up on their own. I find they stop working properly in a short amount of time (they don't roll up as high as they use to). Even though I know the jest of how they work, it would still be neat to see how they actually work.
