Ilustrasi (VOI / Raga Granada)

JAKARTA - How it Works is a segment created by the VOI team to review how sophisticated objects work. The goal is that the audience can be satisfied with the sophistication of human thought.

At first impression, How It Works content can be a bit trivial. However, when we review a product at length, in fact it is quite complicated. Take for example in discussing how bottled drinking water (AMDK) is produced. To enjoy clear water, producers must work hard through phase by phase to maintain the purity of their products.

However, at this time we do not discuss at length related to AMDK. We will try to restate the most popular How It Works content in 2020. First, we will review how the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) swab test works. Second, how the turntables work. Last or third, how the wireless charger works.

PCR swab test

There are three types of tests to detect COVID-19 in the body. Rapid test, antibody / blood test, and latest PCR swab test. Regarding PCR itself, this test is considered the most accurate for detecting the presence of active viruses. The test method is none other than done by collecting mucus samples from the nose or throat.

Besides being effective, the results of the PCR test can be obtained in a matter of minutes to days. It all depends on the laboratory facilities. Regarding how it works, you can find out in full on the How It Works video.

Turntables

The enthusiasm of the current generation for turntables as a compulsory item for today's collection is quite high. History seems to repeat itself. Turntables that were actually vinyl players were being hunted again.

Although now turntables have been transformed into modern forms, their working principles have not changed much. Which, in a turntable there are parts of the platter (rotating disc), Plinth (container of the turntable), tonearm (cartridge holder), and so on. For more details, check the How It Works video.

Wireless charger

Basically, a wireless charger is a technology that allows charging a battery (cellphone) over a very short distance without wires. The presence of electromagnetic induction to send power from the charger to the cell phone makes this possible. More details can be seen in the How It Works video.
