ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

V-belt

V-belt is like a very strong rubber band that helps machines work properly. It looks like a belt that you wear on your waist, but it is thicker and tougher.

The v-belt has a special shape that helps it grip onto the wheels of different machines. Imagine holding on to a bicycle's handlebars to keep yourself steady while riding it. The v-shape of the belt helps it stay in place when it is pushed against the machine's wheels.

V-belts are used in many machines like cars, lawn mowers, and even big factories. They help these machines work better and move things around. So, the next time you see a machine working smoothly, you can think of the v-belt that makes it all possible!
