When performing various jobs around the house was sometimes necessary to have on hand a source of electricity with lower than the normal network voltage. For example, to illuminate the water in the tank (to save the bulb from premature burnout of the filament), etc.

WANTED TO MAKE IRON…
during the period covering the country’s public deficit even the most that neither is ordinary iron burst in a number of regions in the category of “trudnoreshaemyh”. And is — alas! — quite expensive. But for the resourceful craftsman to make the original iron, as they say, no problem. You only need to thoroughly want… unlike the hero of the once popular song where the words are in the title of this material, the success of saadeldin guaranteed.
THE FISH ARE BITING!
Fun — fishing in open water. With the early spring as soon as the ice recedes, and until late fall the true fisherman whenever possible, in a hurry to the pond with the hope of a successful trophy. But it is not always possible to return home with their catch.

THERE IS A WATER PUMP WORKS, DRIED OUT, WAIT
The proposed device is designed for automatic control of vibrionaceae Malysh, Rucheek and the like for operation in boreholes (wells) with a low flow rate of water or for periodic pumping of groundwater. Machine applied non-contact water level sensors, installed directly on the lifting hose of the pump, allowing it to be used in wells of small diameter.
THE LAMP WILL SERVE LONGER
As is known, operation at a higher supply voltage, the mode transition processes (with frequent switching on and off) are light bulbs guidelinesin follows: ultimately burns out the filament. Meanwhile, the lifespan of light bulbs can be considerably increased if you connect them to the AC mains via a special adapter, each of which — your… rectifier. Of course, compact: solid-state, half-wave rectified without filter.
FOR THE DISCO? FOR THE ENGINE!
Strobe and underlying his actions the same-name effect find application not only in discos, no matter how popular, attractive ones. And technology is no exception. How to make strobe lighting (based on a familiar to every photographer flash lamp IFK-120) and use it to adjust the system sariguney car, described in the following material.
AT THE DOOR BARKS… A TAPE RECORDER
In these troubled and difficult time when the crime situation every year more complicated, the important importance of watchdog and signaling device that protects property from encroachment by criminal elements. Among these developments, I have designed instrument, to collect which can anyone, even a novice radio Amateur. Using as actuator recorder of any type, on a looped tape which recorded tigrama barking dog, it simulates presence in the building watchdog. And the electronics triggering happens at the moment of approach or touch of a human hand to the castle.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION:OPTIONS
We are talking about different versions of electronic ignition devices (UEZ), is made as transistors and IC. The lack of scarce elements, as well as the simplicity of the schemes allow you to collect the block of electronic ignition even ignorant in electronics motorists. UEZ can work together with the ignition coil B-117 (B-117A) and B-115V, used in cars “Zhiguli”, “Moskvich” and “Zaporozhets”, and since there is no special transformer to storage capacitor, the device consumes virtually no current when the ignition is on, has small weight and dimensions.
