Taptic Engines and Vibration Motors - How do they work?!

Let's dive inside a fully sealed component and see what's shaking!

i have no idea why i asked myself the qustion and i did not expect to youtube search it and get it all explained so easily

[DumbMonkey]

so interesting! now when my iphone vibrates i remember this video and i just get amazed by whats going on in my phone!

[Tosti_bakker]

That is so cool! I've always wondered how they managed to make something so thin vibrate, because of course you can't have a big clunky motor in there. Thank you!

[SilencedMi]

GREAT video on this subject. No unnecessary padding, sponsor spots, or other nonsense. Immediate clear answers with "one I put in the oven earlier" ease. Thanks for making this!

[Hagemann]

Great video! Vibration used to be created with an eccentric weight on a tiny motor but modern haptics are capable of so much nuance that I knew it couldn't be done that way any longer. Thanks for explaining how!

[ihtesham_emon]

Very good explanation!
I was searching exactly this video

[nikhiltirunahari]

I've looked for note 10's motor disassembly for months only you did it. good job, very well explained

[vagyok_aki_vagyok]

I am amazed that it was possible to take a macro video with such depth focus of field. Great work !

[soggiebunz]

Very interesting! I always thought of it as an offset of weight, but since it's so accurate with it's vibrations, I knew it couldn't be. Amazing showcase!

[nullstress]

Cool how this advanced technology works

[sandeshshivraj]

This has one of the best technical explanation for phone vibrators.

[jasonscalzo]

Thank you! Great and quick explanation

I was replacing the charging port on my Iphone 13 and wondered what TAPIC was. Thanks for the clear and interesting video!

[XeZrunner]

Awesome video!
I saw a video on Twitter about the Taptic Engine in the iPhone X and above being able to play music / sounds, it's that precise!

[charlespotokar]

Exactly what I was curious about and very thorough job. Thank you sir

[WheeliePerd]

Great explanation and amazing that you showed it working!

[klnmn]

I always wondered how these worked since Apple first announced them. Beautiful engineering. Thanks for showing!

[hikkamorii]

It's crazy how precise Taptic Engine is. It was already really cool with all those clicks they have, but Apple recently added feature called "Music Haptics", which vibrates the phone to the music, and at first it seems really stupid, but after I put it on an arm of my chair, it's amazing how well it can imitate a subwoofer.

The Video is made really well, greets from Germany. You got a new subscriber!
