“RAZLAGALSA” BATTERY

On the recommendation of the manufacturer to eliminate the memory effect of Nickel-cadmium batteries (NiCd) should clear their element to 0.4 V. For the implementation of the above requirements and automate the process of disconnecting the battery reaches level 0.4 V the authors propose a simple device.

To reduce the disconnection threshold of the discharge transistor /T2 is selected with a high rate of current transfer. The load (in addition to the resistor R2) and at the same time an indicator is incandescent НL with a voltage of 1 V at a current of 75 mA. In the absence of a low-voltage light bulbs a consumer may be led АЛ307Б.

“COPPERBAR” OF “GRINDER”

The device, which I have called “cappenberg”, I constructed at the time when he decided to make an improvised wheels for walking tractor. Wheels with a diameter of 320 mm were cut using this tool.
With a small hand held cutting machine (popularly referred to as “Bulgarian”) model GREAPO PG125SE, made her a simple, but reliable, and most importantly—the right fixture for cutting parts in the form of a circle of sheet metal or holes in it.

ALUMINUM CANS

Buying another jar of soft drink, consider the following – aluminum cans always be recyclable. Unlike plastic, aluminum will not deteriorate, no matter how many times it is melted and used again. Aluminum cans, of course, very light. It must be hard to imagine that they are made from a huge roll of aluminum sheet and weighing 9 tons! The width of the sheet about half a metre and one roll is enough for the manufacture of 750,000 cans.

THE HUNT FOR HEAT

HUNT FOR WARMTHDrafts — no. In the preparation of housing for the winter the first step in city apartments is the sealing of Windows and doors.

Ventilation can also produce through the balcony door or specially left unburied part of the window (in the case of tricuspid of its design), as well as the window.

Besides produce during operation the noise causes discomfort to the neighbors.
