Anyone who has built a residential building, cottage or garden house himself knows how difficult and difficult it is to mount the foundation, walls, ceilings and other structural elements. To move the foundation blocks a few meters towards the construction site and lower them into the trench, the effort of many working hands is required - a skilled team. But you can get by with one transportable lifting device when performing these works.

Today we will talk about a lightweight construction crane designed for use in the repair of residential buildings in the countryside and in the construction of a house on a garden plot. With the help of such a cantilever crane, it is possible to carry cargo over a distance of up to 3 m, lift it to a height of up to 2 m and lower it to a depth of 2,5 m. The mechanism should be designed for the installation of structures weighing up to 300 kg.

The crane consists of a horizontal beam - an arrow (a crane trolley moves along it) and vertical support posts made of steel pipes, to which horizontal beams are attached. The crane is collapsible, which allows you to move it from place to place.

A few words about the arrangement of racks. They are made of pipes Ø 140 mm. Their height can be increased up to 3 m using telescopic incoming pipes. To prevent the racks from sinking into the ground, corners are welded to the base. A horizontal beam is welded to the upper part of the supports - two corners 100x65x10 mm connected together. A horizontal guide is attached to it from below with four bolts - an I-beam No. 20, having dimensions of 200x100x5,2 mm, 3000 mm long, along which the crane trolley moves.

The second pair of supports for the guide consists of two vertical pipes connected at the top and bottom. For greater stability, two inclined supports are welded to them, connecting, in turn, the racks with a rectangular frame. The latter prevents the crane from tipping over, as it serves as the basis for laying sandbags or concrete blocks.

An important feature of a cantilever crane is its control. Those who will build and operate it need to know: the crane has a lifting and movable device. If necessary, any part can be lowered below the zero mark (into a pit or trench). The entire system of cables and blocks of the lifting device is driven by an electric motor. The trolley is moved by a manual winch using a cable. One end of it is fixed on the trolley, then through the block the cable goes to the drum, makes five turns and, again passed through the blocks at the base and at the end of the boom, is fixed on the crane trolley.

The hook is lifted by a cable, fixed at one end to the winch and passing successively blocks from the warp, boom and crane trolley; then the cable goes down, forms a loop, on which a block with a hook is suspended, and is fixed at the end of the boom through the block of the crane trolley.

For the lifting device, the drive can also be carried out by a conventional manual winch, which will provide the crane with complete autonomy.

Before starting work, you should carefully check the strength of the nodes and supports. Standing under the boom is not allowed - this is the basic safety rule at any construction site.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Zyxel 802.11ax Outdoor Access Point (Wi-Fi 6) 30.11.2021

Zyxel Networks in Ukraine has introduced a new waterproof outdoor access point of the 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) standard.

The advantage of the 802.11ax standard lies in the use of several advanced technologies. For example, Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (ODFMA), spatial reuse and Basic Service Set coloring (BSS), known as color coding.

The Zyxel NWA55AXE is a complete Wi-Fi 6 access point that supports key 802.11ax features that improve wireless network performance and capacity. By transmitting data to multiple clients simultaneously, the NWA55AXE maximizes efficiency and completely eliminates channel contention between wireless devices.

Zyxel NWA55AXE operates in two frequency bands: 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz with data transfer rates up to 1775 Mbps. This means high speed with large volumes of transmitted traffic and high density of user devices. The access point allows you to expand the coverage of your wireless network and implement the Internet of Things more efficiently.

The device complies with the IP55 standard - the novelty is protected from atmospheric influences and harsh environmental conditions. The device is the optimal solution for extending the wireless network outside buildings.

The Zyxel Smart Mesh technology used not only creates dynamic wireless links between access points to expand coverage, but can also provide wireless connectivity from building to building.

Due to frequency "competition" with the signal of cellular networks, Wi-Fi performance is gradually declining. The data transfer rate is reduced. To solve this problem and minimize interference, the NWA55AXE access point is equipped with special filters. This allows you to freely place the device near 4G/5G antennas.
