    Change satellite dish mount

    Hope you picked it up free......... :) Single point mounts tend to move around. I'd be inclined to go with a 3 point mounting type similar to what we use here. Main support rotates up and down on the base and 2 rear support arms are telescopic and once dish is set, a zipper ( self drill) screw...

    Stabilizer for fridge, washing machine and Led TV

    It could be that if he is the only one in the neighbourhood to fit any sort of earth, that he is carrying fault /leakage current for who knows how many down the road. Who knows, trying to decipher a fault from what the op considers correct diagnosis of a problem rather than describe the symptoms...

    Timer for laundry machine

    There already has been for 20 odd years now....Fisher and Paykel .... Not exactly cheap though. Family in Thailand run a small laundry using a 14kg capacity twin tub made I think in Japan, National brand. Flog the absolute guts out of this thing day in day out for maybe 4 years at a time. Then...

    No, does not work like that either.

    Timer for laundry machine

    I'd be inclined to go the Arduino way. Not only for ease of programming but cost also. Many clone devices at low cost. e.g. Pro Mini... I just bought 10 for $25.00 delivered to Aus from China. Going this way allows for ease of reprogramming when/if you decide on other input/outputs. Seems...

    Timer for laundry machine

    I assume this is a washing machine..?? The number of input/output requirements and different timing sequences normally involved, it really is a job for a small microcontroller. In years gone by it was done with cam switching but these are long since gone. I imagine there would be a...

    Need DC motor information

    Sort of defeats the purpose of a surf board having to power it in some way. Sadly, I don't think your idea will take off.

    Help with repairing a gate

    OMG........:eek: You don't seriously expect this thing to keep working do you? I can spot at least a dozen fault areas......get an electrician ......and a box to sit over the top (at least)

    Why does a LED tube light need a ballast?

    Could be many reasons. LED tubes are a bit like video tape players, audio tape cassettes, dvd's and all the other competing system types that come about. LED tubes have many and varied types, each trying to corner the market with specific characteristics, not the least being safety(pin live...

    How to make -18v

    There are dc to split output converters available but not at -18v. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mini-DC-DC-Step-up-Boost-Converter-5V-9V-12V-24V-Positive-Negative-Output/283148096554?hash=item41ecf1142a:m:mS-3LiXteuGHEEBa-9zZO3Q

    Voltage Reduction

    What loading? Are batteries involved? What is the solar output capacity?

    12v dc to 10v dc converter

    One tens to give the Op credit for at least a minute amount of common sense and ability.
