“INDUKTSIONNYI” IN THE CAR

Among the variety of non-contact sensors are the most attractive for developers of motor vehicles, including improvised, turned out to be induction (or generator) — unpretentiousness to external conditions, ease of manufacture and durability. On the basis of “indukcionnye” was created by different devices: from the simple, registered linear motion, to complex, such as the ignition system with digital control, the fuel injection system, anti-lock braking system, brake control, etc.

NOV OLD RELAY

THE SPIRIT OF THE OLD RELAYOf course, thyristor power switches in household appliances is very compact and convenient, but… КУ201, КУ202 and familiar to all cheap copies, unfortunately, tend unjustly to fail. Failsafe only thyristors for industrial use (TL), but they are quite expensive and overall. Besides working, for example, an electric heater thyristor (triac-like) inclusion creates in radios and tape recorders unpleasant 100-Hertz background. So sometimes you have to go back to the old, but tried and tested method on a powerful load through the contacts of electromagnetic relays.

THE KNURLING MAKES THE FILE…

KNURLING MAKES A FILE...In the manufacture of models or devices containing frequently unscrews detail, there is often a need to do the knurling (knurled) outer surfaces of the nuts or screw heads. With this purpose usually use a special device consisting of one or two fine teeth hardened rollers in the mandrel. During rotation of the part fixed in the Chuck of the lathe, the teeth of the rollers are pressed into the surface and form therein a corrugation. With the appropriate equipment the operation is not complicated. However, if you want to make knurled at home?

Gas TANK

Gas TANKFor works in chemical laboratory hydrogen is produced usually by the reaction of zinc with hydrochloric acid (HCL). Sometimes you need a small amount of gas, and 1 g of zinc makes about 400 ml of hydrogen, so that, using part of it, the rest have to release into the atmosphere.

“SECRETS” MOUSE

The prototype of the computer mouse — a two-dimensional analog of the manipulator, connected to a personal computer (PC or PC) via the serial port corresponding to the RS-232 standard, and is equipped with a couple of buttons on a convenient and compact housing, is a device created almost 40 years ago at the Stanford research Institute and has incorporated a number of principles, authored by the famous inventor Douglas Engelbart (Douglas Engelbart). In appearance it is a wooden box with a “tail” — a communication cable. Obeying the movements of the operator’s hand, sneaking on the table on wheels, counting their speed and turns, this device is like sniffing the information that was immediately entered into the computer and controls the cursor movement on the screen. Indeed, what is not nosy mouse!..
