Fixies are small creatures that live inside machines, fixing them discreetly, keeping their existence hidden from humans to avoid capture. They gain energy from devices they help maintain, using specialized tools called Takko brands obtained after rigorous training and exams.

Insights

  • Fixies are small creatures living inside devices, repairing and maintaining them, hidden from people to avoid capture for experiments.
  • Fixies can transform into screws when low on energy, recharging by being screwed into devices, and use magnets to gather screws.
  • Fixies learn device care from parents, help repair items like fish tank filters, and have a symbiotic relationship with devices for energy exchange.

Fixies: Tiny creatures fixing devices invisibly.

  • Fixies are tiny creatures that live inside machines and devices, taking care of them by repairing, cleaning, and oiling them.
  • People are unaware of the Fixies' existence, believing that devices magically fix themselves when they stop working.
  • The Fixies hide from people out of fear of being captured and used for various purposes, including scientific experiments.
  • If a Fixie loses energy, it can turn into a screw, but if found and screwed into a device, it can be charged and return to its original form.
  • A magnet can attract certain types of metal, but not all, and Fixies can use magnets to gather screws together.
  • Fixies have parents who teach them about different devices and how to care for them, often learning from new devices that appear in the house.
  • The Fixies help repair a fish tank filter to ensure the fish have clean water and enough oxygen to breathe.
  • Scuba divers use tanks filled with compressed air to breathe underwater, allowing them to explore depths of up to 300 meters.
  • Microwaves heat food by emitting microwaves that are absorbed by the food, causing it to warm up.
  • Objects like metal can cause a microwave to burn out, and it's crucial not to put metal objects or eggs in their shells inside a microwave.

Creating Tones with Everyday Objects

  • To create high and low tones, place a ruler on a table, pluck it, and adjust the length sticking out for different tones.
  • Tongues in a music box and bells produce tones similarly, with smaller bells creating higher tones.
  • The sound of a violin or guitar depends on the thickness of the strings, with thick strings producing low tones and thin strings high tones.
  • Tension in strings affects tone; tightening a string increases pitch.
  • An electronic toothbrush consists of a battery, motor, and mechanism connecting the motor to bristles.
  • The toothbrush mechanism uses the motor's rotation to move bristles back and forth for brushing teeth.
  • To fix a toothbrush, remove the nut, gears, and mechanism, taking about one to two hours.
  • Toothbrushes were invented about 200 years ago by an Englishman named William Edition using bristles in a meat bone.
  • Fixies work tirelessly fixing household gadgets like TVs, doorbells, and phones, often forgetting to visit friends in neighboring houses.
  • Ballpoint pens have a metal tip with a small steel ball that rotates to transfer ink to paper, essential for writing.

Innovations in Writing and Maintenance Technology

  • Fountain pens were developed to address the impracticality of constantly dipping pens into inkwells.
  • Ballpoint pens were invented to solve the issue of fountain pens running out of ink.
  • Ballpoint pens are reliable and easy to use, but can run out of ink if used on a wall or overhead for an extended period.
  • There are now pens designed for use in weightless conditions, even by astronauts.
  • Fixies, tiny creatures, are used in various devices, including rockets and washing machines.
  • Preventive maintenance is crucial for machines to function properly and last longer.
  • Fixies can get sick, just like machines, and need proper care to prevent breakdowns.
  • A computer fan is essential for cooling other parts and preventing overheating.
  • Washing machines require specific care, like separating colors and emptying pockets to prevent damage.
  • Flashlights consist of a battery, light bulb, and switch, and may not work due to a burnt-out battery or broken switch.

Fixies: Tiny creatures fix various objects efficiently.

  • Großfix had to ride a dog for many kilometers to repair a lighthouse, a tall building with a flashing light on top used to guide ships and planes.
  • The lighthouse of Alexander, built over 2000 years ago in Egypt, was one of the seven wonders of the world, emitting light from large fires in ancient times.
  • Modern lighthouses use powerful electric bulbs and emit radio signals to guide ships and planes safely.
  • The fixies, small creatures, repaired a train by connecting broken rails to restore electricity flow and enable the locomotive to run.
  • The fixies also repaired an alarm clock by fixing a broken spring that blocked the gears, allowing the clock to ring.
  • Using a staple gun, the fixies repaired torn pants by pushing out a staple and connecting the fabric.
  • The fixies used a packer, a tool to remove staples, to fix the pants further.
  • By using a lever, the fixies lifted a couch to retrieve a stuck dumbbell, showcasing the strength-enhancing power of levers.
  • The fixies demonstrated their strength by lifting heavy objects and explained how their small size makes them much stronger relative to their size compared to humans.
  • The fixies helped Tom Thomas pass a math test by fixing a broken mercury thermometer, emphasizing the inability to deceive a thermometer.

Modern thermometers, mercury dangers, fixies, hot air balloons

  • Silver is a liquid metal with a silver color in modern thermometers, which are now electronic and do not contain mercury.
  • Old thermometers had a glass tube with mercury that expanded when heated, indicating temperature.
  • Warming the end of the thermometer would raise the mercury, showing a higher temperature.
  • Spilling mercury is dangerous and requires neutralization with specific chemicals found in households.
  • Using toxic substances for cleaning can lead to health hazards if not handled properly.
  • It is crucial not to ingest anything that resembles medicine unless given by parents or a doctor.
  • Fixies do not eat human food but gain energy from devices they help maintain.
  • Fixies and devices have a symbiotic relationship where they exchange help and energy.
  • A kettle turns off when water boils due to a metal plate bending from steam heat.
  • Hot air balloons rise due to hot air being lighter than cold air, heated by gas burners.

Fixies: Essential Helpers in Hot Air Balloons

  • In France, hot air balloons were initially launched with the help of fixies, small creatures essential for the balloon's takeoff due to the absence of gas burners at the time.
  • Following successful animal flights, people began to venture into hot air balloon rides, leading to the popularization of this mode of transportation under a different name from golf.
  • Fixies, tiny beings that assist in fixing machines, require specialized tools stored in backpacks called Takko brands, which they obtain after rigorous training and exams to become fully trained fixies.
