Nice Fume Extractor build

Posted on October 6, 2020 by robertwilkie

The author basically mounts a PC fan to a car phone mount. Which it nice since it can be angled. I like the wood frame too with the LED on/off light. https://www.instructables.com/Powerful-Fume-Extractor-on-Articulating-Arm/

Interesting coil winder

Posted on September 29, 2020 by robertwilkie

Interesting build. I am not completely sure what the smaller coils are for, but I could see re purposing this build for coils for a generator. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/arduino-based-coil-winding-machine-video-81426?homelistings#post166223
