    Temperature Sensor for a pressure cooker.

    The idea of a sensor is that it detects when conditions are right... I refer to this as an ideal circuit. when the chips all come down (like in a pressurecooker/slowcooker combo device) the thing is given a half life or a point of failure, rather than a conditional controlling responsibility...

    Temperature Sensor for a pressure cooker.

    Many considerations in sensors... people need to make up their mind... combo systems like pressure cooker/slow cooker are ignanimous to variable forces in the universe. Assuming the sensor is not part of the molding process, where it's imbedded in aluminum or pucky, any good guage, meter, or...

    12 v fridge controllers

    I have to say this... just cuz... I was told that the torque of a compressor motor is so high that it requires windings be such that there is no chance of overheat from resistance. That means that the coils are like 10 gauge wire or something. I don't know motor electrics(magnetics), and I...

    portable radio stations

    I have been using radios since high school, but it still bothers me alot that the industry made such a stomp over the use of SSB and linear amps. I have this marine band boat radio and some parts that should make it functional, but I don't want to look like a novice because I'm not. I would...

    Making a BULK Floppy Eraser ???

    Do you know how the tape head on a magnetic tape recorder works? My take on this is extreme... What it does, is swaps ends of the magnetic field to create changes in the magnetic isotope. It impregnates a signal onto a substrate. The fact is that it's like most of these inventions, you really...

    Strange homemade device found hidden.

    I used to know what that is. truely. but the one I had broke and it wasn't very important so I forgot it. its a sensor of sorts I think. But from what you showed us, I would say a home made bug in the wall repeller of some kind. The fact is that it might be a "human repeller also...

    Samsung LE40B530P7W - NO POWER - BN44-00264C Rev 1.4 fault find

    rule of handymans thumb... "if it was made by a computer, it can't be repaired by a human." However, I admire your desire! Good luck and I would say that if you have to ask me, I would have to tell you that when computers are employed to build something, they weren't designed to be repaired...

    yep.. pro handyman.. I got just about everything anybody needs to do anything with....

I pulled the inverter board out, sucked a vacuum into the system, and it stuck at 10 all night...

    off topic problem with fancy smart kegger and gas, fluid cooling system.

    I got the compressor and electronics working(a miracle in itelf)... The fridge compressor is empty... or at least ...it has no pressure in it. There are 2 ports. One on the "filter" and the other on a stub that enters the compressor. Which one do I put the refrigerant can on and which one do I...

    Hot Wire in Salt Water.

    Pressure regulation is a really tough subject. Without a complete system to handle the regulation/device the pressure is just that, pressure. If you can use orifice tubes to reduce/expand the capability of the pressure system, then reduce the pressure to a stable point and leave it. There is...

    Measuring Diodes in Cct.

    1. Diodes need to have both legs out to test them. 2. The VCR systems were a switch nightmare... You probably have a switch gone bad somewhere. 3. Now you know what a backup nightmare is.. - now exponentially hinge it = PC backup 4. Nasa's new rocket is heading for the moon tomorrow... see it on...

    CDI trigger circuit parts

    My dad(WWII vet) helped my Brother in Law(doctorate in finance) to get his boathouse motor going. It was one of the "HIt-n-Miss" Engines. The idea is that once it fires, a heavy fly wheel spins up to speed and a gravity activated cam disconnects the spark until it slows down and fires again...
