    Is bluetooth safe?

    Does this mean you will stop using your computer???? It probably radiates more RF than a bluetooth device. There is so much radiation floating around these days. All the power wires running through your house and out in the street. If your computer and monitor is properly grounded very little...

    PCB drill press design

    I scrapped an old Mustek scanner a few weeks ago and I can see you could have use for some scanner parts here. Inside it was two fine rods and slide bearings to match!  ;)

    Making an electric furnace.

    A leaf blower is not needed; something smaller will be more than enough! It depends on the size of the fire you need which in turn depends on the amount of metal you like to melt at one time! Here is room for experimenting!

    Hi Chris, I believe the cheapest way might be using a coal fire with a blower like a blacksmith.

    Pool water level stabelizer

    Yes, I know what you mean. If you Google ´reed relay´ you get an idea of how such a relay looks, there are many shapes and sizes. Sometimes you can pull out the glass element from this type of relay and use it for other purposes. If you find mercury relays or mercury wetted...

    heat sink for transfomer

    Hi, Yes you can keep the transformer cooler if you bolt it to a metal chassis and put some heatsink compound in between. If it’s a toroide transformer you do it the opposite way, space it from the chassis and install a fan to keep it cool. Before you do any of the above, make sure you are not...

    Pool water level stabelizer

    shake light

    Yes, I have tested many steppers this way to determine the suitability to generate power. Not every stepper becomes a good alternator but every one I have tried so far has a noticeable inertia when shorted.

    Pool water level stabelizer

    Hi Chris, Ok, the easy way: reed switch and magnet! This is very close to your original idea! Attach a magnet to a cylindrical float (plastic); put the float inside a tube (also plastic) which has an inner diameter just to fit the float. Close the bottom end of the pipe and leave the top end...

    Construction design!

    Hi Chris, It’s from the cover of a book but I can’t remember which book unfortunately! Maybe someone else knows which book it is? It looks like it could be out of your homepage though!  ;) B T W you must be a millionaire selling penny's for dollars! ;D ;D
