DRIED FRUITS AT HOME

brickos — valuable fruit crop originated from Central Asia. However, not all varieties are suitable for drying because of the low content of the substance, the main component of which is sugar. It is usually early ripening varieties. To obtain high quality dried fruits it is advisable to use fruits with sugar content not lower than 19-20 percent.

The fruit should be removed when they reach a certain size, accumulate the largest amount of sugar will become normal, natural coloring.

WALK-BEHIND-TRUCK

Offer to readers design their new walk-behind. But before describing it, a little background. Village life is hard their daily monotonous work in summer and winter, rain and snow… Wanted to do something to alleviate all this work and care. I did a walk-behind tractor. And not generic, as usual, with a cart, because more needed in the vehicle. For the relative small size called it a “Humpbacked”.

HAND PUMP

Well — vital structure on the estate, even if a centralized water supply system. Design it can be any. We have, for example, the popular tube-wells, good bearing rocks occur close. And simple tool for drilling (drilling rig spoon, chisel, coil and bailer screwed on the extension tube-rod), it is easy to get. For water many people prefer to use a pump type BKF or BKF 2-4 prefabrication. I am also quite happy with a homemade design which is so simple that it is available for repeating any.

RESCUE TENT

Plots is small. And when every square foot counts, then the space allocated to garages and outbuildings — not an easy task. An acceptable solution may be tent structures. Especially when considering time, especially material costs. To build the frame of almost any of the three options of awning, we have received the greatest distribution, will fit anything you have on hand: acceptable wooden poles, beams or even a pole.

THE SHEARERS, NOT ONLY

Shearing machines МСУ200 with a built-in handle three-phase asynchronous motor (200 Hz, 36 V, 100 W, 12, OOO rpm) we have in the village is not uncommon. Though slightly modified, with a reinforcing grommet for the power cable. This technique is popular in neighboring areas, where used by shearers of sheep and camels, as well as professionals postconservatism skins Karakul smusic. As a full-time source of electricity for it is a three-phase network with voltage of 380 V, which МСУ200 connected through electric machines-nye converters ИЭ9401А and ИЭ9403.

HOMEMADE AUTOCLAVE

Real benign stew without autoclave do not like, however, and other canned goods. However, the production of inexpensive home-autoclaves our industry, it seems, a long time will not be adjusted. Imported equipment, most people can not afford. Has to settle for a canned food factory production. But why not make the autoclave with his own hands? As a basis we can take the industrial analogues or the development of Amateur designers (for example, mini-mill V. Starostina, published in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 4, 1998). You can use my design, which I think is more reliable and productive.

WITH IRON — ON APIARY

Going to put the hives in your apiary improvised electronic thermostat — you will not regret. Because it is simple, in General, the device will create for bee colonies conditions, like the comfort, the economic feasibility of which has been repeatedly pointed out, and the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor” (see for example, №10’93, 12’96, 1’2000). The use of a controller leads to decrease almost two times the previous costs feed — sugar or honey because the bees do not have to spend energy to maintain the desired temperature.

VENTILATION IN THE GARAGE

The garage, which was built in the time of my neighbors, so appealed to me that his project was taking advantage of me. Considering his opportunities, the need for ventilation and fire safety requirements, introduced the necessary adjustments. It turned out well.

Around the garage made a blind area and drainage ditch. Along all walls except for the facade, planted low-growing shrubs and trees so they do not interfere with blowing of the roof by the wind and, of course, the air in the garage.

CELLAR ON THE BALCONY

For storing vegetables in winter increasingly cold boxes that are well established not only in urban environments but also in rural areas. Especially where high groundwater level is difficult (and sometimes impossible) construction and development of full buried and underground storage facilities. The popularity of container mini-cellars is also due to their relatively simple design, is available for repeating many homebrew.Cellar-“thermostat” is, in fact, insulated box, which is equipped with a heater and a control unit.

AND LIFT, AND PLUNGE

Concerns on rural households do not count. There are those that are associated with lifting, loading or moving heavy objects. But when workers, the performance of such work is sometimes an unsolvable problem.

However, if the farm has a tractor that is not uncommon today, the heavy lifting you can “turn” him, using the hydraulic suspension system. You only need to make a simple device that will allow you to lift loads weighing up to 600-700 kg to a height of three meters.
