      I use the vibration technique when I do casting with the smooth on brand of products. The viscosity is thin enough that vibration alone is good and I don't need a large and costly chamber for either vacume or pressure. I came up with a cheap and convenient process. I have a small table with a shelf on it, in my shop. I put about 6 pieces of old inner tube under each leg of the table. I have a small Craftsman 'Hot-Dog' style air compressor that I bungee down on the shelf. I put the mold in the center of the table and turn on the compressor. It vibrates the table and at a fast but even rate. As I pour the mold, I use a blower on the air compressor hose to lightly blow air over the fill hole(s) of the mold. The air helps 'push' the material into the mold and the vibration helps get it settled into all the little nooks and cranys. When I get done, I put the pieces of inner tube in a ziploc bag and put them with the rest of the plastic/resin casting supplies.
      Give that a try, it might help you out without spending a bunch of money.

    I love when you give us these little German language lessons, I find linguistics fascinating. On the offhand chance that you share this, I thought you would be interested to know that in America these type of fans are invariably referred to as squirrel cage fans. That's the only term I have ever heard them called. I have never once seen a caged squirrel in my life nor have I seen a cage marketed for squirrels. I have no idea why squirrels might require a round cage. It's interesting how many idioms make no sense whatsoever and yet very few of us ever notice

      American names are on the dumb side. They are known as centrifugal fans, because that's how they work.
      In motor design terms 'squirrel cage' refers to the electrical circuit inside the rotor, that has an induced current flow, that results in synchronous rotation according to the number of stator winding poles and supply frequency. The 'cage' is enclosed within a laminated steel core, and not visually open... and certainly not suitable for rodent play or exercise. In that fan motors construction the 'cage' rotor is external. Nice design that avoids the use of an externally mounted motor that drives the fan rotor by V-belts.
      That motor is physical smaller than a internal rotor type due to far better cooling when mounted directly in the fans intake airflow.

    Sadly, I believe none of the scrap yards near me allow picking. We do have a yearly hard rubbish collection that sometimes turns up some interesting things. This year I got a set of 5 dining chairs, they are a bit modern for our house, but are steel and leather, excellent quality and don't even have any substantial damage, I'm guessing one got damaged so they later threw the rest out. I grew up going to a lot of garage sales with my father. Best item we ever found was a compass out of a Japanese plane. Only picture we could find online was one in an A6M Zero.

    The beginning monologue really spoke to me, I felt compelled to transcribe it to etch the words into my mind.
    “One of these observations that I’ve made in my own life is that we as human beings often strive for safety, and that our thoughts and actions are often governed by fear, and it is hard to say… if you will ever reach a point in life where we will ever be free from that. If you struggle to make ends meet and you work really hard to build something for yourself, you will probably do that with the feeling that all you need to be happy is to make a little more. If only the most basic things in your life were covered, how great would life be? At that point your fear revolves around being able to pay the next bill, it’s all about survival. Well, skip ahead a few years and you might make more money than you need to survive, now all of the sudden you might realize that a new fear has entered your life… What if I lose what I have just built for myself? The situation had definitely improved but, you see, that feeling of fear probably never really leaves, it just readjusts it’s focus. It can be: relationships, health problems, you name it. So, in other words, yes it’s wise to strive for safety and work for that, but the big questions will still probably never stop to haunt you and that’s why it’s a good idea, in my opinion, to fill the remaining time slots with answering questions you actually can solve; problems that might be hard but not impossible to answer…”

    I do have some of those Braun bridge rectifiers in a box, they are very large compared to modern units, especially when you compare ratings.
    The vibratory unit can also be used to mix things like spray cans, as it will vibrate the can. Will have to make a fixture to hold the can securely to it though. You can also add a plate with a spiral groove to it, and it will feed parts up the groove to the edge one at a time. For pictures look up King counters, they made vibratory feeder units with counters, and despite them being no longer in business the old units still command a high price, as they are very reliable and work well.

    • @Reaktanzkreis
      @Reaktanzkreis 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The big grey bridge rectifier is a Siemens standard part. B40C3200 or B80C5000 are common available parts from those days. You can find them in loads of equipment made around this time. I still got a whole bisquit barrel full of them. There were black ones available with the same outlines, made by SEMIKRON.
      Braun bought their parts from the leading companies in this age. So Philips Siemens Roederstein Preh Wima SEL etc came into account as many other players. But the parts were choosed all up to good quality.

    Fascinating. You wont't believe this but in UK when they were building the M25 motorway back in the 70s they uncovered a Dornier 217E4 bomber. It had live bombs on board! As a kid living locally, this was quite exciting! When the authorities were not guarding it (they took the weekends off!) we descended on it to see what we could find. Amongst other things I found a small electric motor and on the ID plate it was stamped " Ziehl-Abegg"! I remember this like it was yesterday. (I'm 65 now). All the parts were in perfect working order. Of note: the crew were recovered and buried in a local Churchyard. I believe they are there to this day. Sorry, that's a bit off track but thought it may be of interest.

    Whomever used the fan before didn't understand that you simply don't run these without a filter. Even the most basic application requires at least a foam "sock" or water trap. Sigh. I see them used unfiltered all the time and thrown a way just as much for no good reason as these are the epitome of fixable items.

    On the vibrating machine - you could add a tub on top and add metal parts that need cleaning/de-rusting with a medium that abrades at the rate you need - anything from crushed nut shells to sand-blasting media. You could also add cleaning solution and clean parts that are too big for your ultrasonic cleaner.

    The sifter can be used with container and polishing media to clean brass (crushed walnut shells) and polish stones and glass bits like a rock tumbler. With blast media you could probably polish parts over night if you didn't want to use the cabinet, and reduce the exposure to the dust at the cabinet.

    That vibrating motor is perfect for making a vibrating drum parts cleaner. Just bolt a large drum on top, and add abrasive media as needed (cat litter works). Drop on your rusted or dirty parts and voila, perfectly cleaned in a short time.
