I have some unneeded junk so is there anything I can do with it?

Tft monitor, 20" internals okay, screen not.

300watt motor from strimmer, 1300watt motor from vacuum.

Refrigerator, compressor? I need a compressor for another very loud project. :)

5watt fish tank pump.

Fish tank water heater. 40watt??




Thanks :)

I guess you could use the fridge compressor for a vacuum pump, but it would have a rather high ultimate pressure, no good for a fusor or xray production, but perfect for plasma experiments.

The motors could possibly be turned into RSGs for TC use, I suppose.

The fish tank pump might be good for a liquid cooling loop of some kind (water cooling IGBTs for example).

No idea what to do with the monitor or water heater. Is the water heater just a resistive element? If it is you could just use it as a high power resistor.

I have no idea if any of this is feasible or practical, just brainstorming.

I did have the idea of making a watercooler, but I won't know where ti start, I have a small radiator to cool the water.

20" monitor psu and inverters and tubes could be ok, worth salvaging.
Maybe make it into an anti-SAD light for those winter months?
