How do I connect an electronic kitchen timer to speakers to amplify the sound?

Feb 22, 2009 by ShulDawg | Posted in Engineering

My friends and I affect cooperate a lot of paintball and we are trying to create a occupation to destroy a target. I had originally trace that we could use a kitchen timer as the detonator to set the time and bolt it to speakers or even a smoke detector to at full tilt the alarm load when the timer has ended.

I identify the basics of following wires and can do some soldering, but I am NO Conductor... please keep it simple.

Does anyone have any ideas; all avoid is welcome. Thanks!

Take the timer separately and identify the sounder, which will not look like a correct loudspeaker, but is a small round disc fed by two wires. There may be solder tags on this mention (it is actually a piezoelectric transducer) or at the other ends of the wires. Solder wires to these two points and lure them out of the casing. These are to go to the input of a powered lecturer, such as any computer loudspeaker, or any other amplifier/speaker array you have. You will need an amplifier, because the original timer will not have adequate power for a proper loudspeaker. If you use a computer loudspeaker, you will distress either a socket to match the little jack recommendation or to cut the plug off and solder directly. I commend getting a line socket to parallel the plug, which has 3 contacts. The tip is one channel input, the next is the other pass input and the last is the common earth. Solder one of your wires to the 2 socket tags corresponding to means inputs, and the other one to the common earth tag.

How to calibrate manual kitchen timer?

Dec 20, 2009 by Archengle | Posted in Other - Home & Garden

I have an old forge kitchen/egg timer and I want to make it slower (for a non-cooking design). Accuracy of time doesn't quantity in this situation as I am using it as a simple crusade or motor. There is a gold screw on the back that I shadowy is a calibration screw but I don't know.

All I can bring up is be a McGyver & make it happen. What do you have to squander?

Get cooking for the holidays: Seattle chefs share their tips

01.01.70

Meanwhile, I yakked it up with a host of local chefs, and here's what they had to tell me:

Yes, we talked turkey

"My grandmother was a great Cajun cook, and her chicken stew would bring you to your knees," recalls chef Kevin Davis, a Louisiana native. "But mawmaw always overcooked the turkey." Turns out mawmaw didn't have the right tool: a digital thermometer. Today, "there's no reason to be without one," says her grandson, owner of Seattle's Blueacre Seafood and Steelhead Diner . "It takes the guesswork out of everything."

Speaking of guesswork, "Don't buy a frozen bird and thaw it out under running water at the last minute," he says. "Insist on a fresh bird. Make a point to figure out where you're going to get it, and order it ahead of time." To stuff or not to stuff? If that is the question, "don't bother," Davis says. "By the time the stuffing reaches the proper temperature, the turkey's overcooked" -- just like mawmaw's. Prepare your stuffing separately, and if you miss that baked-in-the-turkey flavor, "just take the drippings from your pan -- that's the essence -- and add it to the stuffing."

Table Talk: Deep-fried turkey safety, starring William Shatner; more dining ...

01.01.70

At the digital kitchen table, today's hot topics are all Thanksgiving related, since the big day is just a week away.

Avoid deep-fried turkey fires: Deep-fried turkey enthusiasts insist that this method of making the centerpiece for Thanksgiving dinner produces an incredibly moist and flavorful bird. But many first-timers make the mistakes of filling the fryer with too much oil, which can cause it to overflow when the turkey is added, or not having their turkey entirely thawed and dried, which can cause oil to splatter. Both mistakes can cause serious fires. U.S. fire departments respond to more than 1,000 fires each year in which a deep fryer is involved. The National Fire Protection Association says deep fryer fires result in more than $15 million in property damage each year and hot oil splatter can cause serious burns to an adult or life threatening injuries to a child.
