AUTOMATIC BIT-CHARGER

AUTOMATIC BIT-CHARGERIt is known that in the process of operation of car batteries is required from time to time to do preventive charge-discharge cycles to prevent sulfation of the plates and thereby increase their service life. There are lots of devices, including homemade (see the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 9— 11 ’01), through which the battery is initially discharged to 10.5 V with a current of 1/20 of its capacity and then the voltage on the terminals is communicated during the charge-discharge cycle to 14.2 to 14.5 V. And the ratio of the charge-discharge current components are in the majority supported almost perfect — 10:1, and the pulse durations of the charge-discharge — as 3:1, but…

MUSIC ALARM

MUSICAL ALARMMUSICAL ALARMBusy with household chores or interesting conversation, we forget, for example, on a boiling kettle. Time to remind him maybe a simple buzzer. However, the oscillators sound frequency (e.g. multivibrators) based on transistor logic or integrated circuits do not always meet their creators. The simplest devices give a smooth tone, barely visible against the background of everyday noise, and sudden and loud “beep-beep” of a more complex designs can scare.

ALGORITHMS CREATIVITY

ALGORITHMS OF ARTHow to start a designer? In Latin the word “design” (constructio) means the preparation, construction. In technical language it includes concepts such as diagram of the device and operation of a machine, structure or site. Designs also referred to as the machines, structures or individual components and their details. In addition, the concept of “design” leads to and provides a very specific arrangement of parts and elements of the machine, method of connection, forms of interaction and, of course, the material from which the individual parts (elements) of the structure needs to be manufactured.
