microgrinderI offer a simple and compact micromill. Its dimensions can be judged from the photo: the whole structure fit on one arm. It is universal: it is intended for obtaining corn flour of both coarse and fine grinding, grinding various grain waste and preparing feed for livestock and poultry in personal subsidiary plots.

It is within the power of any amateur craftsman who has experience working on lathes and drilling machines to make it.

The working bodies of the mechanism are a rotor and a stator with ribbed surfaces. The first, driven by an electric motor with a power of 180 W, rotates inside the second, performing the function of millstones.

In general, the whole structure looks like this: on the base - a steel plate 6-8 mm thick - a stator (a fixed working part) and an electric motor from a washing machine are mounted. Both units are mounted on corners 25x25x4 mm. Moreover, the first is regulated in the transverse direction relative to the axis of rotation of the rotor, and the second - in the longitudinal direction. These possibilities are incorporated in the attachment points of both elements. The shank of the motor shaft is connected to the rotor shaft by a feather-key coupling. The shaft, which has a flange for mounting the rotor, is seated in the stator on bearing No. 203. From the side of the engine, the bearing is covered by a cover made of a steel plate 3,5 mm thick. A movable working body - a rotor is attached to the shaft flange Ø 65 mm with three M6 bolts. I made them in two versions: heavy and light, which allows you to adjust the quality of grinding: by installing a heavier rotor, we will get a finer ground mass and vice versa.

A rotor having a ribbed surface is manufactured as follows. A pitch circle Ø 104,5 mm is applied on the flat end of the steel cylindrical billet. The centers of the holes are marked on it at an equal distance. Then holes Ø 10 mm are drilled along the marked centers. Further processing of the workpiece is carried out on a lathe: the outer side is ground to a pitch circle and the central part is bored to a depth of 10 mm. After that, the workpiece is unfolded and, having fixed it in the chuck of a lathe, the second side is bored. It remains only to drill a central hole for the shaft Ø 15 mm and three mounting holes - Ø 6,5 mm. The heavy rotor is ready. To make a lung - all operations are repeated, and additional holes are drilled on the drilling machine in the working surface of the rotor - to facilitate the part.

Micromill (click to enlarge): 1 - loading hopper, 2 - M6 bolt, 3 - intermediate plate, 4 - stator, 5 - stator cover, 6 - rotor, 7 - rotor shaft with flange, 8 - branch pipe, 9 - micromill base , 10 - stator mounting angle, 11 - motor mounting angles, 12 - bearing cover, 13 - coupling, 14 - plugs, 15, 17 - studs, 16 - electric motor, 18 - handle, 19 - handle holder, 20 - protective cover, 21 - bearing No. 203

The most difficult part of the micromill is the stator. As with the rotor, turning and drilling work will be required here. A dividing circle is applied to a steel cylindrical billet with a diameter of 154 mm and a thickness of 43 mm, indicating the dimensions of the working chamber and passing through the centers of future holes that form a ribbed surface. Then mark the contours of the upper and lower windows. Further, exactly according to the drawing, the holes are marked and drilled to a depth of 28 mm. Now, the central hole of the working chamber is bored on a lathe and, having unfolded the workpiece, they prepare a seat for bearing No. 203. Having drilled holes for installing an intermediate plate, a pipe, a bearing cover and the corners of the rotor, it is fixed on the base plate.

From the outside, the working chamber of the rotor is closed with a cover cut from sheet steel 1,5 mm thick. The loading hopper, attached through an intermediate plate to the upper window of the stator, is made in the form of a funnel from 1 mm thick steel sheets. In my design, this part is assembled from four sheets tightened with bolts, but other options are possible. The lower window of the stator is equipped with a branch pipe, on which, if necessary, a sleeve can be put on. He will direct the finished product to a substituted bag or other container.

Electrical equipment, consisting of a capacitor, a thermal relay and a toggle switch, is located on a dielectric plate mounted on small corners next to the electric motor. Before starting work, it is necessary to adjust the position of the stator with the help of bolts so that the rotor rotates easily, without jamming.

The micromill is installed on a chair or stool, the engine is turned on, and the hopper is filled with grain. The crushed products will spill out of the outlet pipe into the substituted container. Operating experience has shown the following results: a bucket of corn is crushed in about 6-7 minutes, and grains of wheat, millet, buckwheat - 1,5-2 times faster.

The entire portable micromill has been in operation for more than three years. There are no failures or breakdowns. I think many villagers will want to make one.

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 ... >>

Exercise saves chromosomes 01.11.2008

According to the existing theory, the lifespan of a cell is determined by the tips of chromosomes, the so-called telomeres. With each division, they shorten a little. Finally, there comes a point when the telomeres are so shortened that the cell can no longer divide and dies.

The results of a study conducted at King's College London show that physical education slows down the destruction of chromosomes and aging of cells.

Physiologists examined 67 pairs of twins, in which one brother is engaged in physical education, and the other is not. It turned out that the chromosomes of active people look 10 years younger than those of sedentary people.
