Observation mini-pit in the garage. Tips for the home master

Builder, home master

I suggest that motorists acquire a shallow inspection hole that allows them to repair cars while sitting. It takes much less forces and materials than for the arrangement of any of the "full-height" counterparts. And it's convenient to work. The mini-pit consists of two parts: a pit with an inclined end (they lower it under the car) and a recess equipped with a mortise seat. I recommend lining the walls with bricks. If there is roofing iron, then it is quite acceptable to make the cladding from it in the form of a welded box-shaped structure. Not the best option (but more affordable) is to dig in wooden racks, followed by wall upholstery with boards, plywood or plastic. But the bottom (if there is no soil water) can be left earthen without any kind of coating.

When entering and setting up a car for repair, the edges of the inspection mini-pit will experience a considerable load. Therefore, they need to be strengthened. Firstly, with a strong frame, welded from a 70x70 mm steel angle and installed in place when the walls are already lined. Secondly, a thorough blind area, filling the voids under the frame and along the edges of the pit with cement mortar with a filler - broken brick. In addition, along the perimeter, attach a U-shaped welded structure made of a 40x40 mm steel angle, which will serve as a support for a removable flooring made of boards with a thickness of at least 40 mm.

The seat is semi-circular, with a slight tilt back to reduce fatigue. The backrest is made of wooden slats 20 mm thick and not more than 50 mm wide. Covering with a metal mesh is also acceptable here, followed by coating with cement mortar (a layer with a thickness of at least 50 mm). The insert itself is made of wood, with a soft insulated gasket and a leatherette coating.

Inspection mini-pit in the garage (click to enlarge): 1 - the bottom of the pit; 2 - wall cladding; 3 - seat back; 4 - bottom of the deepening; 5 - seat; 6 - welded frame; 7 - flooring support; 8 - blind area concrete; 9 - removable flooring

An inspection mini-pit in the garage will help reduce the time it takes to repair a car. But it can be equipped in the yard. And to protect against atmospheric precipitation, cover over the wooden flooring with a film or a special visor upholstered in tin.

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 ... >>

solar fabric 23.03.2010

In one of the stories of science fiction writer Vladimir Nemtsov, Soviet scientists invent a solar battery in the form of fabric, which is much more convenient to handle than rigid solar panels.

The dream of a science fiction writer was realized by American specialists, among them Alan Heeger, who received the Nobel Prize in 2000 for creating the first electrically conductive polymers. On the basis of these polymers, as well as thin steel and silver wires coated with a photosensitive polymer, flexible and thin (about a millimeter) panels are produced that generate an electric current when illuminated.

The efficiency is only 3%, but the creators of the photovoltaic fabric claim that this is an "honest" efficiency obtained in real conditions, including in a normally lit room, and not on a clear noon at the equator, as measured by other manufacturers.

From flexible solar panels, you can, for example, sew tents for tourists and climbers and even clothes. On their basis, they have already begun to make convenient power sources rolled into a small roll for charging cell phones and bags for laptops that recharge the battery of a computer hidden in a bag.
