Anyone, even a well-equipped modern machine shop to do probably without soldering. And no matter how they fought for the engineering is still in front of us (according to the definition of “Explanatory dictionary of the live great Russian language” V. Dahl) — “iron of different types, in a wooden clasp which is kindled, and, holding it across the metal and tin solder first.”
Lighting house number and street name in rural areas – is not an empty whim, but a basic necessity. In dark time of day the postman will be able to deliver a telegram, and RAM service come to the rescue. This is especially useful when the backlight lights up automatically at dusk and does not require human intervention. To make such a device might, perhaps, everyone is familiar with the basics of electrical engineering.
Advantages of welding machines DC before they “perimentally brothers” is well known. It’s mild arc, and the ability to connect thin-walled parts, and less spatter, and the lack of nepreverjenih sites. Even the annoying (and, as it turned out, bad acting people) cod is not. And all because there is no major inherent to the welding apparatus of the alternating current feature — intermittent arcing at the overflow of the sinusoid of the supply voltage through zero (Fig.1).
I recommend readers of the magazine is easy to count, easy to manufacture and very reliable electric soldering iron. At my house, for example, these range from “krohotulki” for work with microelectronics to powerful “ax” with which to patch a leaky metal tanks, repairing wells, filters and other large items. Moreover, the heating element of each electrical device is… the appropriate power resistor (type PE or PEV), powered by household outlet voltage is 220 V. the resistance, if they cannot be avoided, reactive, precise, capacitive, allowing to solve very complex electrical problem with the minimum dimensions of the devices.
Familiar, perhaps, to every household situation: podklyuchayut all household appliances, which is in the apartment, but in the end — tube on the flap burn out from overload. More precisely, due to the excessively increased current in them melt, breaking the electrical circuit, a special low-melting insert and safeguard wiring from the further heating and ignition. Save these simple, in General, the devices and from large troubles in the so-called short circuit due to insulation breakdown, the inclusion of faulty electrical equipment or in the course of work on nabestaanden (particularly dangerous and inappropriate!) sockets, lamp cartridges, etc.
Outfitting your bathroom under the bath, he decided to make a strong (about 3 — 3.5 kW) and reliable heater. The most appropriate seemed to be elektrokemisk in a tin bucket with asbestos cement terminal block and brass studs, the closed hinged metal housing (Fig. 1). But when I placed this heater in the socket, felt the smell of burning.
Since the house has antique samovar, a sin not to use them at least on special occasions. You can even with the ignition not to bother, but just ready with boiling water, poured inside. At first, I did not yet matured the decision to equip this relic of a tubular electric heater (Teh), while maintaining almost unchanged the appearance of the samovar and the basis of its unique design.
Compact electronic controller, enabling a smooth and in a fairly wide range to change the brightness of the incandescent filaments, power water heater or the speed of rotation of the shaft of the AC motor, can make even inexperienced hams. Because the proposed device is familiar to many publications previous unique and well-proven technical solution: the triac with economical control by pulse-phase method. Besides the principal circuit diagram complements fleshed out a printed circuit Board with specification of the layout of the installation. And radio the design used is quite common.
As you know, the cost of electrochemical cells has increased significantly. Therefore, many owners of portable radio equipment are beginning to use batteries. And they must be timely and properly charge. Of course, when the apparatus used a bit (and besides, it is all the same type), the problems with no charge. After all, to get a good charger (memory) for a renewable source of electricity in a single “radioimage” is much easier than, say, to ensure the viability and flashlight (and it 2хД-0.55 C), and all-wave receiver (5хД and 0.26 D), and tester (Sht-0,06). In addition, note that the proposed market memory in the majority of the road is not very reliable, is designed only for a certain type of batteries, and a strictly fixed number of elements.
