I welcome you readers and the inhabitants of our site.
I understand that now it’s a little early to use such homemade goods, but as they say, “Prepare a sled in the summer”
The author of this idea loves to swim in his pool, but he had a problem. The thing is that insects very often fall into the pool and, accordingly, swimming with different flies and wasps is not very comfortable.
The author very peculiarly found a solution to this problem. He designed something like a robot vacuum cleaner for a room, but only this robot Designed for the pool and it does not absorb anything, but helps drowning insects to independently get out of the water. Thus saving insects and at the same time clearing the space of the pool.
In my opinion, the idea is pretty good, and even if insects do not fall into the pool, various small debris always gets into any pool. You can slightly alter the trap and then the boat will run on the water and collect particles of garbage floating on the water.
Tools and materials.
Manufacturing process.
The idea of the author is to clean the pool using the energy of the sun.
The author disassembles his already unnecessary LED solar-powered flashlight. He needs only a solar cell. Although this item can be easily purchased on the same Aliexpress, well, for example
Now the author takes out from his stocks a huge box with many different motors, you can immediately see that in front of us is a real master, he doesn’t throw anything away. The author needs to find a low-power motor, one that can set in motion the solar panel. The author checked a few pieces and one small engine came up to him.
When the engine is selected by the author, he again goes to poke around in his supplies and finds there an old model of a sailing boat, which in his youth stood on a bookshelf, and now he can again come in handy. Of course, using a boat model is not necessary for this homemade product, you can simply cut a piece of wood in the shape of a boat. You can try to cut out of polystyrene or expanded polystyrene, but most likely such a boat will be too light and it will be demolished by the wind.
Also, the author finds a metal rod with an approximate diameter of 2 mm and a tube. The inner diameter of the tube should be slightly larger than the diameter of the rod.
Another author will need a screw, he also finds it. In the absence of one, the screw can easily be made from the same can of drinks, or canned food.
We continue, the author selects a drill equal to the diameter of the tube that he found. Now he needs to make a hole in the stern of the boat at an angle, so that the second edge of the hole comes out on the deck. In this case, you need to make sure that the drill passes through the center of the boat and does not deviate to the side.
The author checks the hole, inserts the tube and inserts a rod into the tube. However, it is clear that the motor is nowhere to put.
Have to remove part of the deck.
The author makes a mark and removes all unnecessary chisel. Now everything should be perfect.
Since aligning the axis of the shaft with the axis of the engine will be quite difficult
The author will connect the shaft with the engine using a small section of tubing with a suitable diameter.
The author inserts the resulting mechanism into the hole in the boat. The motor is mounted on an epoxy resin.
While the resin dries, the author decided to tackle the solar battery. Since it is not designed to work in water, the author seals it using nail polish. Applies varnish to electrical connections, and also processes the panel around the perimeter.
After the varnish has dried, the author solders the battery terminals to the motor, first you need to check the direction of rotation of the motor. So that later it turns out that the boat is sailing in the opposite direction. The author glues the solar panel onto hot glue.
The author bites off the excess part of the shaft and fastens a screw on it.
Now the author checks the efficiency of the boat. The solar panel produces enough energy to operate the motor. Of course, this boat will not rush like a sports boat, but this is not required.
Now you need to attach the insect rescue tool itself. The author fastens on a wooden stick two pieces of mesh fabric. Stick sticks to the stern of the boat.
Well, perhaps it's time to test the product.
The author breaks a bottle of champagne on the side of the boat and puts it into the water.
The boat immediately confidently takes the course. Rescuers ahead !!!
Now the robot can ply the pool for hours. It can be seen that as soon as the boat approaches the drowning insects and catches them with a net, they immediately get out of the water along the fabric and move to the deck. As the saying goes, "The salvation of drowning is the work of the feet of the drowning"
After a few minutes of sailing, the boat gathered a lot of victims of the water element.
Well, now let's imagine that there are no living insects in the pool, but there is small debris floating on the surface and dead insects, fuuu. In this case, instead of pieces of fabric, you can sew and attach small bags of the same fabric. The boat will circulate all day on the water and collect floating garbage in these bags.
In general, the author of the homemade product is happy and pleased with his completed project.
I say goodbye to you, thank you for reading, if you leave a comment (I hope positive
) I will also be glad.Good ideas and good mood !!!
