*HOW it WORKS* 😳🤔

The idea behind a capacitor regulator remains the same, which is to adjust the voltage across the motor of the fan. Now, when you increase the capacitance, the voltage across the capacitor decreases but that across the fan motor increases. Accordingly, the speed of the fan increases.

Reduce fan speed without regulator. The speed of Fan can be slow down by simply by connecting a bulb or any other resistive load in series between the power supply and fan. In this method if the watt of connecting Load is increased then the speed of Fan is also increased.

⁉️🤔 *WHY* ⁉

*Scientific reason behind: Hanging lemon and chili tied to a thread outside of one’s house/Shop/vehicles* ⁉

The logic behind this was that both lemon and chillies are rich sources of Vitamin C. So when a cotton thread is pierced through these substances, the cotton absorbs their nutrients and gradually vaporize them in air. Inhaling this air has health benefits.
Besides, the aroma (smell) from lemon and chillies keep insects and other pests away from the place.

Lemon and chilly were also tied to Bullock carts and other such modes of transport in the past. The reason being, when they used to travel through dense forests, there was a possibility of coming across snakes and other venomous creatures. There was no measure available to check whether a snake bite was poisonous or non-poisonous. In such cases lemon and chilly used to act as a parameter to check whether the bite was poisonous.

In case of a poisonous bite, the taste buds on the tongue won’t be able to differ or identify sour and spicy taste which would alarm the person and help him in taking curative action accordingly.
