RECOVERABLE BATTERY DRILLS

RECOVERABLE BATTERY DRILLSAfter a few years of correct operation your drill is the drill started to “MOPE” – ends quickly charge the battery (battery), has to be frequently charged, and for this to interrupt your work.

TIME RELAY FOR HALF AN HOUR

TIME RELAY IN HALF AN HOURJust 30 minutes will it take to build a simple and reliable time switch that at a given point (in the range of 1-11 h) will switch on or off any home appliance power up to 0.5 kW. The device is made on the basis of a conventional mechanical clock, for example, “amber”, “Sevani”, “Ray”, in a plastic case of which a simple device consisting of two neon lamps T-0,3, a pair of resistors VS-0,25 or MLT-0,5, the micro-switch MP-1, socket for standard plug and fuse.
