ELI5: How are corn kernels separated from cobs inside a combine harvester?

I've been searching everywhere, I found nothing, all i find is combines harvesting other grains(not corn)

All the combine harvesters work on the same basic principle. The entire plant is sucked into the machine and violently thrown around some kind of roll drum causing the plant to break down into small pieces and the dry kernels to separate from the cob. The entire mixture goes through a series of air blowers and wire meshes where the heavier kernels fall down but the light plant pieces are blown away.
