The head of the loudspeaker of an electrodynamic type, low-frequency, round with an unshielded magnetic circuit 75GDN-1-4 (old name 30GD-2) is one of the most common and affordable for radio amateurs. It is intended for use in closed remote phase inverter systems of household radio equipment of the highest complexity group as a low-frequency link in enclosed spaces [1]. Recently, the demand for it does not fall due to the increased popularity of low-frequency speaker systems - subwoofers.

The 75GDN-1-4 head, like any other, has its drawbacks. It is known that in its design the weakest point is the contact lobe. Its base is made of cardboard, which is not able to provide sufficient rigidity. When installing the lead wires, it often bends and breaks - fig. 1. Because of what, the flexible wires going from the voice coil to the petal sag or, even worse, stretch. As a result, the probability of their breakage, skew of the mobile system increases. Which, in turn, entails touching the voice coil on the core and damaging it. And this probability increases with increasing amplitude of the diffuser oscillation.

It is quite obvious that a more rigid material should be chosen for the base of the contact petal, for example, fiberglass or getinax, as in some heads (not all) 8GD-1 (Fig. 2). Most hams cut the lobe out of a stiffer material. However, it is not so easy to transfer contacts riveted to a cardboard board. There is nowhere to find new ones. One solution is to reinforce the native board with a rigid plate.

The work is carried out as follows. Unsolder the lead wires of the voice coil from the contact lobe. The petal itself is unscrewed from the diffuser holder - fig. 3.

From a fiberglass blank with a thickness of 1 mm and dimensions of 30 x 16 mm according to the drawing shown in fig. 4, a reinforcing plate is made. At the same time, the coincidence of the holes with the petal is controlled.

Rice. 4. Reinforcing plate

The plate is fixed with screws with a diameter of 2 mm from the lower side of the contact tab (Fig. 5, a.), threading the screws through the holes in the contacts with their heads facing them (Fig. 5, b).

If necessary, the plate is adjusted with a needle file, focusing on the contours of the cardboard petal. After that, the petal is installed on the diffuser holder and the lead-in leads are soldered. Threaded connections are coated with zapon varnish or nitro paint to prevent spontaneous unscrewing. 

Such a refinement will allow you to safely mount wires of a larger cross section without fear of failure of the dynamic head. 

The described technique is acceptable for repairing other heads of a similar design: 8GD-1, 30GD-1, 50GDN-3-4, 75GDN-1-8, 75GDN-3-4 (30GD-11), 75GDN-5, 75ZT-1- 4 (modern analogue of 75GDN-1-4). 

The technical characteristics of the speakers, recommendations for use, repair, winding data of voice coils, etc. are indicated in the source [1]. Detailed tips for repairing loudspeakers are described in the source [2].

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Telomere lengthening for life extension 07.02.2015

Scientists from Stanford University have developed a method for stimulating the ends of chromosomes that are responsible for human aging.

Telomeres are the ends of chromosomes that perform a protective function. There is a so-called Hayflick limit associated with shortening of telomeres - the number of somatic cell divisions is approximately 50, after which the cells begin to show signs of aging. Studies have shown that the enzyme telomerase is capable of restoring DNA, which acts on telomeres, restoring their original length.

The new technology uses modified RNA carrying the reverse telomerase transcriptase (TERT) gene. The introduction of ribonucleic acid greatly increases the activity of telomerase for 1-2 days, during which it actively lengthens telomeres, and the programmed RNA breaks down. The resulting cells behave similarly to "young" ones and divide many times more intensively than the cells of the control group.

Thus, it was possible to lengthen telomeres by more than 1000 nucleotides, which is equivalent to several years of human life. What is important, the process is completely safe for health and does not lead to uncontrolled cell division: the immune system simply does not have time to respond to the RNA introduced into the body, which decays without a trace. The discovery will help increase the number of cells for drug research and disease modeling, and in the long term for life extension.
