www.denlorstools.com European style alternator pulleys (like Bosch alternators on VW, BMW and other makes) designed with a clutch built in, requires a specialty tool to remove and swap the pulley over to the replacement alternator. The short video shows how to use the SX 400 spline tool kit to properly remove the free wheeling pulley.

The VariCool Mod Box Review made by SmokTek.com which I call the forgotten Mod Box. This is a super light plastic mod box that is economical in size, and price with working excellent with most ohm attachments. Has a 5 amp button, 3 amp switching regulator, 3.3-6.5 volt output with no heat build up. Up to 95% efficient use of battery energy means longer life, a inside thumb wheel concealed voltage trimmer marked at 3.8 and 5v that is easy to adjust,uses two Li-Ion 14500 batteries, Red LED indicator light, Black 3xAA ABS resin battery box - dimensions: (2-3/4" x 1-7/8" x 5/8") Just Loving this Mod Box (September 27, 2012) I have now have tested all 3 types of 14500 battery's in the VariCool Mod for me using my daily habits of vaping with a 2.2 carto using 4.25 volts all day, and the Winner is the TrustFire Flames 900 mah which lasted me 12 Hours plus, AW black 750 mah 6 hours, and the AW IMR 600 mah 4 hours. This will vary with every user to some degree since there are a lot of variables like the atty ohms, volts used, and frequency of use. I am just a middle income working Class 4 year E-Cig Vaper trying to bring awareness of Electronic Cigarettes that has helped me breath again, and may of added more years to my life, plus to bring you the GOOD, and BAD of e-cig products out their on the market by doing video reviews, and with also posting them along with other e-cig related topics on vaping social links like Facebook, Google plus, and Twitter. A lot of E-Liquids, and ...

This is a simple science project style demonstration, on how a motor can be a generator. I am using a DC motor that I salvaged out of a Wal Mart toy scooter. It is a permanent magnet motor, and very efficient as a generator. If you were to put a regulator and a DC to AC inverter with it, you could get a usable amount of electricity.

It's my lucky day because my neighbor is throwing away a microwave! One man's trash is another man's treasure, and with all the parts I can harvest off this abandoned appliance, I feel like I just won the lottery! www.thekingofrandom.com Music by Kevin Macleod (Down Home Rockin) http Project inspired by: MattsAwesomeStuff www.youtube.com WARNING: This project is extremely dangerous and should not be attempted without adult supervision and adequate training. Misuse, or careless use, of tools or projects may result in severe electric shock, serious injury, death, and/or permanent damage to equipment and property. The pink high voltage insulator on the magnetron is made with beryllium oxide, and is a hazardous material. Regular inhalation of the dust can lead to lung diseases similar to those caused by asbestos. Do not break it. Use of this video content is at your own risk. I'm super excited about these salvaged parts, because there are a ton of dangerous projects I can use these for. Like unballasted high voltage electrical arcing, or instantly fatal traveling arcs. How about improvised spot welding, or dangerously exciting metal melting, and even makeshift AC stick welders? I feel like I made out like a bandit on this project, and these salvaged components will lay the foundation for many projects to come.

Here is another FPV flight with my sub-micro (AUW 50g) setup. This time I tested a 350 mAh battery. It gives me roughly 5 mins flight time. It is ok because it seems that range of my 10mW video transmitter is roughly 50 meters - maybe a little bit more if there are no obstacles between the heli and the base station. There is a 10 mW 5.8GHz video transmitter & 1g PAL video camera with a wide eye lens in my heli. I try to save veight using an one lipo setup and a 0.6g 5.0V Polulu voltage regulator for filtering interference from the motor & ESC. Receiver's antenna is an omi-directional 5 dBi whip.

The project is designed to provide low voltage start to induction motors. This is achieved by using star to delta conversion. Star/Delta starters are probably the most common reduced voltage starters in the 50Hz industrial motor world. Star delta is used in an attempt to reduce the start current applied to the motor. Thereafter, full load current is applied to the motor. For more information about this project, visit www.edgefxkits.in Edgefx Technologies provides 100% output guaranteed electrical and electronics live project kits for 3rd & final year engineering students. We provide various types of projects like embedded projects, robotics projects, electrical projects and communication based projects and help to thousands of ECE and EEE students in improving their practical knowledge in electronics.

This WSM HOn3 K-28 has a Tsunami and a TCS FL4 decoder. The new circuit uses a LM317 voltage regulator and by programming the Tsunami bell "ring rate" and matching it to the FL4 motor RPM's set on constant dim and dim rate of 10 the syncronization is pretty good. This works with track voltages 12 to 15v and the bell speed will remain constant if the loco visits other layouts.

Chicago Electric Power Systems Article link: www.driverstorer.com For use with auto, marine, ATV, and other trickle charge applications Don't forget to hit subscribe! DS briefly runs through a series of current and voltage tests on the Harbor Freight 1.5 amorphous watt solar battery charger kit. The harbor freight amorphous solar battery charger kit includes: *One mountable solar panel with hard plastic bezel measuring 14-3/4" L x 6-1/2" W x 7/8" thick *Detachable vehicle adapter with activity LED (12V) *Documentation Formulas used to calculate the wattage from the solar panel: Variables: V=Voltage I=Current R= Resistance W= Watts V=IR (ohms law) (to double check calculations) W=(I^2) R (reads: (watts = current squared * resistance)) Current measured (100 ohm resistor in series) 25 -- 35 mA Output wattage calculated in overcast skies (100 ohm resistor)= W@ 25mA= 0.0625 (62.5mW) W@ 35mA=0.1225 (122.5mW) W@ 120mA= 1.44 Assuming you reach the advertised max current from the solar panel of 120mA you seem to max out at 1.44 watts theoretically. This is close to the 1.5 watt rating of the solar panel, but slightly less. As a vehicle battery trickle charger, the Harbor Freight 1.5 watt amorphous solar panel- solar battery charger kit will work as advertised, however local conditions will always affect the efficiency ...

**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.** In this video I check the voltage and frequency at the outlets on a portable Briggs & Stratton Generator, and the RPM of the engine. I also change the engine oil. You really should get a repair manual for the generator your working on to see the electrical schematic and get the proper specs for the generator, but in the USA the voltage should be close to 120 or 240 volts depending on the type of outlet, and the frequency should be around 60 hertz. To get 60 hertz on most generators, the engine RPM should be close to 3600 RPM. Every generator can have different specifications, so a repair manual is really important for proper specifications and the electrical schematic is priceless. The engine on this generator uses a splash type oil system, so it doesn't have a oil filter to replace. You simple drain the oil and refill the engine with 32 ounces of fresh oil. It is important to warm up the engine to operating temperature before you replace the oil. Warming up the engine helps the oil flow better, and it causes contaminates in the oil to get suspended in the oil and drain out with the old oil. I always use a single grade oil in the warm season with air cooled engines. Single grade oil holds up better than a multi grade oil under high temperatures. Air cooled engines run at a higher temperature than a ...
