How to Overcome a Fear of Escalators

Image
If you are afraid of escalators, here is how to overcome that fear. Edit Steps 1 Observe how other people are using the escalator. 2 Approach it deliberately, slowly. Step out of the way to back off and wait a while--if you wish to work up to it a little. 3 Notice that most people seem to love and enjoy escalators, and approach them happily even with joy. 4 Think about why other users do not seem to be afraid. Why are you afraid? Do you just need to go for it, a few times? 5 Take your time getting on and off the escalator to be safe, and not to fall. Don't rush: keep control of your emotions, and follow steps below. 6 Grasp the moving handrail and step on. Be still. Hold onto the handrails. 7 Use the escalator carefully. If you have average eyesight, coordination, balance and agility it is considered safe to use an escalator. Is their danger--well, probably no more than falling on ordinary steps or stairs. That on...

HOW THE ESCALLTOR WORKS

Image
Escalators work in much the same way that conveyor belts do, and in most cases the moving stairs are actually on a belt that rotates around a set of gears at a certain fixed speed. The gears tend to be large, and typically sit just below the steps. They are electrically powered and, as they turn, the steps move. In most cases the stairs themselves are just grooved metal that lies flat as it travels down the backside, beneath the floor, and back around again. In most cases this same system controls handrail motion, though this is an additional moving part. These machines often look really imposing, but from a mechanical perspective they tend to be pretty straightforward. Repairs are also usually pretty easy, though they can take a lot of time since they involve, in most cases, major moving parts. Accessibility is often the hardest part about servicing gears and other internal parts.  he core machinery for these large appliances is usually hidden beneath the steps...

HOW RAINBOW FORMS

Rainbow Formation Dispersion of Light by Prisms Rainbow Formation Mirages One of nature's most splendid masterpieces is the rainbow. A rainbow is an excellent demonstration of the dispersion of light and one more piece of evidence that visible light is composed of a spectrum of wavelengths , each associated with a distinct color. To view a rainbow, your back must be to the sun as you look at an approximately 40 degree angle above the ground into a region of the atmosphere with suspended droplets of water or even a light mist. Each individual droplet of water acts as a tiny prism that both disperses the light and reflects it back to your eye. As you sight into the sky, wavelengths of light associated with a specific color arrive at your eye from the collection of droplets. The net effect of the vast array of droplets is that a circular arc of ROYGBIV is seen across the sky. But just exactly how do the droplets of water disperse and reflect the light? And wh...

IMPORTANCE OF HELMET

WHY YOU SHOULD WEAR HELMET BEFORE RIDING BIKE Let me first say that I didn't start wearing a helmet regularly until AFTER I WOKE UP FROM THE COMA. Before I fractured my skull and bled an epidural hematoma the size of a navel orange, I used some of the inane arguments I have read above. I used to joke that helmets messed up my hair. That was before the brain surgeons shaved my head and then closed up the suture with stainless steel staples.I used to say that I'd rather just die than end up a paraplegic or whatever scenario I concocted. The problem is that dying might be easier than what follows a head injury. Volunteer at a neurological rehab hospital some day.   Helmets can't save you from every accident. Nothing can. But they can save you from a lot of accidents, maybe even most of them. If I had been wearing one on Dec. 2, 1988, I might not be taking anti-seizure pills every day, twice a day, for the rest of my life. If I had been hit by a t...
