REPAIR “VYATKA-AUTOMATIC”

REPAIR One of the common causes leading to failure of washing machines “Vyatka-automatic”, is the failure of motor windings (ED) the drive command device. In repair shops usually eliminate this problem by replacing. And I prefer not to deal with blown cheap update windings and not even with “soundriver” motor, and with expensive command device (SC), in which all of this is not subject to disassembly “monolith”.

SHINE EVEN BLOWN

LIGHT EVEN BURNED OUTInspired by the originality of technical solution, published in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 11’78, I modified the circuit for fluorescent lamps and for many years its use in residential lighting fixtures. As in the prototype, economical and not scarce ЛДЦ40 (ЛДЦ80) light up instantly, their work is not accompanied by annoying clicks and “wink” for missing an unreliable starter. And best of all — for such lighting you can even use the bulb.

PROGRAMMATOR FOR CHIPS

PROGRAMMER FOR CHIPSHams, self-repairing computers and modern means of automation or manufacturing such equipment, are faced sometimes with the need to record information in the chip programmable logical matrices (PLM). With similar problems they have, for example, to meet when you combine the joystick with the keyboard on the basis of MC КР556РТ1 (КР556РТ2). However, it may be that the existing programmer (even among the so-called universal) are not designed for firmware of these chips. To buy new, more specialized and costly electronic device is not always justified. Another thing is to modify what is already at hand.

RESCUE TRIAC

Utterly exhausted by his refrigerator, which has neither a hot day, then another “surprise” in the starting relay, was forced to ask for help in workshop. There categorically stated: burnt start winding, you need to change or rewind the motor. And when I calculated what it cost me… well, I ventured on a self-experiment with Read more…

FAN LAMP…

FAN... LAMPThe principle of operation of my proposed homemade svetvincenat “Whelan” is forced Ventilation of the Lamp bulb and heat the bottom of the room with warm air by sending heat to the floor, which is the “waste” of the light source. Moreover, the “Whelan” cleans the air from dust. And the lifespan of the lamp filament is thus significantly increased.

MEET DISCS

MEET: DISCSIn the old days, when required to perform switching in the electric circuits when the voltage rises to a certain threshold, resorted to the use of polarized electromagnetic relay. However, the substantial size and weight, lack of reliability of the kinematics and contact pairs severely limited the use of these devices. Now in their place came a miniature non-contact thingies called discs. This four-layer semiconductor diodes whose structure is like a two transistor: p-n-p and n-p-n type, with the base of one is connected to the collector of the second, forming the internal positive feedback (Fig. 1).
