WOODEN ANTENNA…

WOODEN... ANTENNAThe ham-hams is well known that, to ensure reliable connection in addition high-sensitivity receiver and a powerful transmitter is needed and a well-designed antenna. There are many types of antennas, however, have to limit ourselves to just two or three. And one of them often becomes a quarter-wave vertical pin or, more precisely, its improved version, which in radio is called the Ground Plane.

CHARGING WITH THE PREVENTION

CHARGING WITH THE PREVENTIONIn the process of operation acid batteries gradually sulfation of the plates which reduce capacity and shorten the life of the device. To eliminate this undesirable phenomenon, a special rectifier. The device is intended for use in stationary and field of auto repair shops. Collect it, you the driver with basic knowledge in electrical and electronics.

A FIVE-LEVEL VOLTMETER

FIVE-LEVEL VOLTMETERChange arrow indicators the dog often come led. And this is not surprising: the second is much easier and safer first. Simple five-level scheme of the AF voltmeter to the voltage of 0.1—0.6 volts, where the indicators are LEDs, published in the journal “Рипката1ег” (GDR). If the signal fed into socket x2, XS, the voltage exceeds 0.1 V, open transistors V2, V4 and, as a result, the led turns on Q1. With an increase of the signal to 0.2 In open semiconductor triode V6 and the led flashes B2. When the signal voltage reaches about 0.6 V, burn all the LEDs.

RECOVERABLE BATTERY DRILLS

RECOVERABLE BATTERY DRILLSAfter a few years of correct operation your drill is the drill started to “MOPE” – ends quickly charge the battery (battery), has to be frequently charged, and for this to interrupt your work. Losing battery capacity is inevitable with heavy use (depends on the amount of discharges-charges) and over time. By the way, if the drill is rarely used, the battery capacity is also reduced by itself (especially if it is stored uncharged), and a year later, may be reduced by a quarter or more. But in many cases, this occurs prematurely because battery other dangers face. So, it will inevitably deteriorate if you apply the tool when the ambient temperature is below 0°C and above +50 °C and in rainy weather and damp conditions, especially if spilled into the water.
