The second life of an old microwave

Do not rush to dispose of old household appliances: many of its parts and housing will be useful in the household, only hazardous devices must be disposed of. Let's see what can be done from the old or even broken microwave with their own hands.

Low-power oven

If you have broken a microwave or a microwave oven with mechanical control, and you are not going to repair it, then you can make an ordinary oven out of it. power. To do this, the motor that rotates the platform is dismantled and installed TEN or ring from hotplate.

Remember that before dismantling the capacitor of the microwave oven must be discharged, closing it on the case, because it is able to maintain a high voltage charge for a long time.

It remains to consider the issue of installing guides for the pan, install a regulator for modes and replace the glass with a more heat-resistant. On a new product, the oven cakes will not work: the door, and many details are not designed for prolonged exposure to high temperatures, but it will perform perfectly as a heating function, working as a furnace in the format solo. 

Original bread box

If many parts are broken from the old microwave, then your assistant is no longer subject to restoration, but you can make a lot of homemade products or very original devices from them. For this purpose, a body from a microwave is used. Although he will take up a lot of space in the kitchen, you can repaint or make it modern decoupage - to decorate with an original pattern or ornament, and then cover everything with a colorless varnish. This will reliably preserve the unique, home-made composition and help it harmoniously fit into the interior design of a modern kitchen.

The bread box from the microwave will be quite spacious, and if the processor module is not broken and is in good condition, then it will be equipped with a clock.

Fan

Such a product will always be used, for example, for incubator eggs coolingwhat many users did not even guess.But cooling is a very important technique in improving the development of embryos in the process of incubation. The quality of the hatchlings produced is no worse than the natural way, because cooling occurs in a very similar way when the hen is removed from the nest according to its needs. In chickens and turkeys, this process occurs by air, and in waterfowl it is combined, due to evaporation of moisture from the surface of eggs, when the duck or goose returns after water procedures.

It is possible to set the timer along with the fan - it will successfully turn the device on and off at a certain time.

We use electrical parts

Garage specialists successfully do from transformer from the microwave spotters - special devices for body work, the basis of which consists of resistance welding, which helps to align various dents on the car body. Design technology can be found on the Internet, or read our publication on this topicwhere there are all the recommendations and a detailed sequence of actions.

Engine from turntable together with a gearbox, many farmers adapt in incubators to turn eggs,only necessarily add a time relay to it, because everything must be done strictly according to the clock.

Control block can be adapted for a completely different job, although the appearance and designations on the terminals may differ, but the principle of operation for all similar units is identical. Contacts can be installed using a special device. Any radio fan, especially from beginners, must have a soldering iron with adjustable tip temperature. A similar device made by other specialists can be found on the Internet and borrow a scheme, and then assemble it at home.

For those who still do not have a close acquaintance with different electronics, mechanical regulator, which has a number of advantages: it is possible to regulate the power of the soldering iron using a step-down or separation transformer. Such a regulator has a wide range of power control, which can be used when melting plastic parts, when heating an etching solution or an ice bath.
