THERMOSTAT

This device is not very complicated and consists of the heating element, the mercury column and the solenoid. When the current is switched on starts to operate the heater — closed working contacts of the relay. When it starts to heat up the mercury, and the column rises to the level of the contact turns Read more…

ACCURATE PLANER

Manufacturing of hollow beams to collect the glider, I was faced with the need to have a thin, uniform thickness or width of the slats. We had a little bit to improve the conventional wooden plane (see Fig.). Drilled in it two holes, I inserted the stud with nuts and washers. On the studs put Read more…

ELECTRIC SAW

This simple saw can be processed plywood, thin wooden boards, etc. On the basis of the size of 250X150 mm are mounted the following parts: 1 — the solenoid of the screw Ø10 mm, which is wound with insulated copper wire 0.2 mm (the more turns, the greater the power of the magnet); 2 — Read more…

INVENT A STROLLER!

INVENT A STROLLER!I think that it interests not only me, but many who because of injury, illness. or accident has lost the ability to move independently. Great care of us, the disabled, shows the state. A got a good apartment. All would be nothing if… not the stairs. For those who can’t walk or hardly move, stairs are an insurmountable obstacle.

RELAY “TOUCH”

Fig. 1.Fig. 2.Simply by touching the sensing element and actuates an electronic device that includes an alarm or actuator. The sensing element Ан1 — plated plate connected through a resistor R2 with a grid of thyratron MTX-90 (Fig. 1). The potential appearing ka the grid of the thyratron when you touch the plate, sets fire to it. The resulting circuit mtkh-90 pulses through the capacitor C2 is transferred to the SCR Q3 and the load (relay, lamp, siren, etc.). The circuit is powered directly from the mains alternating current. The capacitor C1 plays the role of damping resistor.

COMMAND CHANDELIER

COMMANDED THE CHANDELIERThe majority of apartments have internal wiring is three wires, one of which is zero, and the other two are derived for the switch. In the slot of the switch there are three wires, two for the chandelier and one of phase. This combination in petrokova the chandelier only four possible combinations: 0; 2; 3; 5 (lamp).

ELECTRONIC OWL

E-OWLThe making of this very fun toy is easy even to schoolchildren. Decorated under stylized electronic owl, she will fit well in any interior. Location — wall mounted, connection to the electrical power outlet and “functioning”… Should only pull the signal cord as the owl anxiously wave her wings and looks around the space “hypnotic” gaze (bright orange flash of the eyes — neon lamps).
