What can be made from a microwave motor?

A large number of used microwave ovens can easily be found in any landfill. One of the valuable parts that can be removed from a microwave oven is the plate drive motor. This is a 220 V synchronous electric motor with a gearbox

How to convert any asynchronous motor into a generator

Anyone who is familiar with the design of an asynchronous motor knows very well that it will not simply work in generator mode. The whole point is the absence of a magnetic field capable of creating an electromotive force in the windings of its stator. But what happens if

How to turn a washing machine motor into a 220 V generator

An electric motor from a washing machine is very easy to find due to the fact that it rarely fails compared to other components, and the machines themselves are often thrown into landfills. This is a very valuable thing for DIYers, I take into account how many simple

Connecting the washing machine motor, reverse and speed controller

In washing machines, the automatics most often fail, followed by bearings and rubber products. The engine is the most reliable component; it is used in the manufacture of various home machines. But for this you need to be able to change

Radio receiver on TDA7021

Many people like to listen to the radio - at home, in the car, at work, while doing what they love, because broadcasting on VHF frequencies (88-108 MHz) is carried out in every major populated area. However, few people know that a high-quality radio receiver on a microcircuit

12 V welding machine from a battery for welding thin metal

Sometimes there is a need for electric welding of small parts that will not be subject to serious load. In the absence of a welding machine, this problem can be solved using a battery and a graphite rod from a AA battery.

Portable amplifier based on TDA1517

Despite the abundance of powerful microcircuit and transistor audio amplifiers, there is always a need to have a small portable stereo amplifier that does not require powerful power. Just such a thing can be built on the TDA1517P chip, its other

Compact regulated power supply 24V 5A

I decided to remake my laboratory power supply. Although it is reliable, it is heavy and takes up a lot of space. There is never enough on the desktop. Planning a reshuffle. I decided to hang a wall shelf and there is plenty of space under it. The idea came quickly, I do it

The simplest transformerless power supply for an LED matrix
