Medical disposable syringes used for injections, thanks to the efforts of enthusiasts of technical creativity began to find further applications. For example, in Amateur practice, in particular during the dismantling of electronic components with printed circuit boards (especially in remote places where there is so often no “third hand”). However, the basic syringe has to be changed accordingly (modified).
Applications I developed the thermostat is quite wide. It can be used, for example, to maintain the desired temperature in the vegetable stores, household incubators, in the hive. Combining simple designs with compact size and high efficiency design, this device differs from analogues of many well-known and even easy to use with built-in indicators on the LEDs.
I recently made repairs in the apartment and decided to check if there is any chance at the current level of development of wireless equipment to create an apartment full of high-speed wireless network. Initially, the task seemed inappropriate (at home quite successfully, you can use Ethernet, why bother with WiFi?), but to convince myself that wireless technologies are not standing still, I decided to arrange a small test. One of the main criteria of success was the ability to view on a plasma panel HD-video rips with the volume from 10 to 30 GB in conditions when between file storage and replaying device is no wired network.
Explosions and fires resulting from gas leaks, unfortunately, are not uncommon. Recognizing the work of administrative bodies and emergency services, hams designers can do something yourself to minimize this danger. However, in the field of gas control is simple and accessible to a repetition of the device is almost there, or they are unnecessarily expensive.
There are industrial sensors, converts the gas concentration to voltage, current, resistance and other parameters. The ability to respond to changes in gas concentration have some oxides, especially the SnO2 — tin dioxide, doped various additives. On their basis it is possible to make an electronic device that responds to the excess concentration of a particular gas in air and emits sound signal.
To the store to buy a hood and install it in the kitchen is relatively simple — it requires only money, time and skills to screwed into the wall screws. But to diversify the inclusion of a drawing and automate it so that your hood has become to surprise the neighbors and, most importantly, to have added comfort in your kitchen — the case for the present enthusiastic radio Amateur.
Imagine sitting in the cozy kitchen, you no longer have to get up and turn on the switch on the extractor fan to ventilate the room (for example, if you or your guests stoned). Clap softly hit the table or say a sharp word with the volume more than usual, and wonder hood itself begins to work, and the kitchen immediately becomes cooler and more comfortable.
Use in the kitchen local lighting. As a rule our kitchens are covered the only light source is the ceiling or a chandelier hanging somewhere near the ceiling, in the middle.
Most often, this lamp General purpose lights no matter Desk — when the hostess is preparing lunch, she closes herself from the world of the working area on the plate.
Inconvenient such a lamp and in that case, when the family gathers at the dinner table (usually standing at the window or wall) — it illuminates not the table, and the center of the kitchen. In the end, for normal illumination of the working and dining tables in the chandelier have to screwing the lamp of high power, thus causing high power consumption.
Four years ago in the “Modeller-designer” was published my article on snowblower. Today, I present to the readers a material of another property – the use of GSM communication channel (i.e. cell phone) to the alarm system. This is, perhaps, a new direction in Amateur practice. Suffice it to say that in the famous magazine “Radio” was only two publications on this topic. But, given some “heavy” “fancy” schema processors, programming, intervention in the scheme of the cell phone will pull not everyone (even seasoned) hams.
I developed, implemented and operated for more than two years in continuous operation mode, a simple alarm device with cell phone use (which is often called the “cell phone”) without the intervention in his scheme. The device can gather a radio Amateur with a little practice. Additionally, I enclose a variant of the scheme for the protection of several objects (Fig.1). The OUTPUT of which is connected With the proposed device, called a “site approval burglar alarm systems with GSM communication channel”.
Good day! In this post I want to share with the Internet community on how I happened to make a automatic light on the stairs in his two story cottage. About four months ago, returning from work in the dark, I successfully slipped and broke two pljusnevyh bone (finger) on his left foot. A whole month had fail in bed, so as to step on the foot was incredibly painful. Then another half of the month was lame without plaster (who had fractures, I’ll understand). After this sad story, I began to think about automating the lighting of the stairs. A bit of tinkering with the search query found a very simple solution in this blog, just based on my favorite Arduino microcontroller. The scheme did not cause any difficulties, but was baffled by the number and length of the wires that I had to mount. Prior to that, did nothing of the sort. To buy ready decisions, or to hire someone is expensive.
In the memorable 1990-e years I worked at the Kirov plant instrument maintenance computer. Every morning we had to go down to the basement to enable refrigeration. Bulbs in the basement then disappeared, burned out. In short, as a rule, to see the switch, had to use matches: even to buy a flashlight for the plant was the problem. Then appeared the idea to make such a lamp yourself. From the power supply batteries and battery items I refused: they often fail, leak or anything. I did almost “eternal” condenser flashlight.
Among the means of self-defense e-treskovye device (ASH) – not in last place, especially the strength of psychological impact on criminals. However, the costs are considerable, which encourages radio Amateurs to create homemade analogues (detailed material about it see, for example, in No. 5,’99 the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor”.
Without pretending to sverhordinarnogo and Superviso ideas, suggest their own development, to repeat which is able to anyone who at least once in their life has dealt with the winding of the transformer and installation of simple devices like crystal radio with an amplifier on one or two transistors.
