UNIVERSAL BATTERY

At work and in everyday life there is often a need in galvanic power source with a stepped gradation of the EMF (including the symmetric polar voltage). Often this “standard” range: ±1.5 to 12 V. In such cases it is highly useful is a homemade cassette, which allows you to quickly assemble a battery of two, four, six or eight galvanic elements 373 (“Mars”, “Orion”).

VIBRATE

If you were in a situation when you need to put expensive stuff on display, but to ensure its safety without attracting the attention of people even when triggered the alarm. Or, for example, you need to Wake up early, but not to disturb the household. This is especially true when in the same room with their parents children sleep. For this fit, we offer vibrating alarm. You can make yourself using simple electric circuit and the miniature motor with an eccentric, taken from old, obsolete cell phone.

THAT THE CHRISTMAS TREE IS LIT

Rosli new year holidays. Very pleasing to the eye colorful lights of garlands on the Christmas tree. However, the “old new year” series of light bulbs in garlands of Chinese production had thinned out considerably. After the holidays I had garlands to fix. I think that this problem might have many. So will share his experience in this matter.

HOT TIN

Heater mini type electric air heater (IEC) is now unlikely to surprise anyone. To acquire these small and comfortable appliances for every taste. But it is not necessary to spend money on industrial products, especially imported. I, for example, has long been home-made and, according to the unanimous confession of the household, very aesthetic of MEK.

IMPROVED PROBE

IMPROVED PROBE

Primitive “control print” — electroputere with two wires and the lamp — not the best device for “continuity” of electric circuits. Commercially available testers and isometry is also called a gift, especially when you have to deal with modern technology, and they are not cheap. So we have electricians to create probes-indicators — versatile, compact and reliable. On one of these devices tell the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 5 for the year 1990.

COLD CONTROL IC

COLD CONTROL CHIPIn refrigerators with mechanical regulator temperature measured on the evaporator. It happens that the evaporator becomes covered with frost, and the thermostat begins to operate with an error, making failures in work of all lagoapraia. To combat this unwanted phenomenon (including — with the advent of frost) refrigerator has to periodically disable. In some designs there is a semi-automatic defrost mode, which the system is embedded a heating element with the corresponding button.

WHEN THE TENSION IS GONE

WHEN THE TENSION IS GONE

Many of the houses in the villages and country houses in winter, left without owners, are empty, although things are (sometimes valuable) and appliances remain in them. And then waiting for the owners the risk of theft, so they prudently put in a house alarm is usually powered from a household outlet of 220 V. But in rural areas quite often happens, especially in bad weather, gusts of wind that the voltage in the lighting network “disappears”.

CONVENIENT SOLDERING IRON

CONVENIENT SOLDERING IRONThe soldering iron is any homebrew. But those who have to deal with modern electro – and radio equipment, this tool is something special. And the requirements for it are quite hard: with small size, low supply voltage and low power consumption to ensure the excellent quality of soldering. And with the maximum comfort, including temperature controller soldering tip and a stand with a tray under flux solder and tinning.

BATTERIES – ADAPTER

BATTERY ADAPTER

Today, any manufactured device can be supplemented, adapted to the specific household needs of Amateur radio and give the device a seemingly non-core second life.
 
For example, a widespread audible alarm, the appearance of which is shown in the photo, has excellent opportunities at low cost and small size.

PLAYER POWERED WELLENREITER

Buying a player up to accommodate for his food during his frequent touring on-Board generator. As the adapter decided to use a homemade solid state rectifier. The implementation of the ideas started by selecting a circuit diagram of the valve half-wave diode with a smoothing capacitor. Soon he was convinced regular Wellenreiter power 3-5,4 W and an output voltage of 6-7 V and the modified on-Board power grid using a rectifier for key any diode average power and capacitor µf 500-2200 quite cope with the new task. In the end, the player was to receive a 3-volt power supply when the Bicycle is moving at a speed exceeding 10 km/h with the included headlight and not less than 8 km/h is de-energized.
