Nichrome wire 2m (0.4 or 0.5mm)

Description: 

Description: 

Nichrome Wires are used widely in many industrial products and have some fascinating applications for hobbyists.

The material, Nichrome, is a mix of Chromium and Nickel and offers high-temperature resistance. Also, as it has a chromium oxide layer on its surface, it does not corrode like iron, so is stable when used at high temperatures.

If a DC current is passed through a thin nichrome wire, it heats up and the heat can be used for many applications. Typical industrial uses for nichrome wires are in iron boxes, toasters, hairdryers, electrical cigarette lighters, and even electric room heaters.

The coil of Nichrome wire offered can be used by hobbyists for many similar applications.


Different Diameters: 

Hobbyist offers these Nichrome Wires in various diameters.

Different diameters mean that using the same current, you can create different heating effects. Thinner wires, as they have higher resistance, tend to get hotter and hence get to higher temperatures quickly.

Diameters offered are 0.10mm, 0.12mm, 0.15mm, 0.20mm, 0.25mm, 0.30mm, 0.32mm, 0.35mm, 0.40mm and 0.50mm.

Resistance data (per meter) is provided below.

Hobbyist Applications: 

These wires can be used to design cutting machines. The hot wire is used as a knife that melts and cuts through the foam to make various shapes and products.

Another project is where the same approach is used to heat and soften plastic materials such as acrylic, plexiglass, and polycarbonate to bend sheets to make shapes.

RC planes: Yet another example of the use of Nichrome wire is the making of Airfoils by model plane enthusiasts. The foam material is cut in the shape of airfoils to make the wings of model airplanes.

Other potential projects include

  • Making your own toaster to get shapes on the toasted bread
  • Making your own lighter
  • Making your own hairdryer
  • Miniature iron box
  • Making your own soldering machine, etc.

Massage gun

Description: 

High Frequency Electric Massage Gun

Description: 


If you are a work-out enthusiast or someone with muscular pain, this hand-held, compact, high-frequency massage gun can do wonders for you.

In a typical work out session, there are three periods of muscle action - the warm-up, the exercise, and the recovery. In each of these periods, what your muscle goes through are entirely different phenomena. A High Frequency massage gun can bring efficiency and comfort to your work out.

Pre-workout:

During the warm up stage, you are getting the muscle to get warm and the blood flow in the body increased to provide warmth. The percussive massage gun can prepare your muscle with cramp reduction and increased flexibility.

Using the Massage Gun for 30 seconds at the target muscle will “wake-up” the muscle and instantly activate it. Recommended to use before you use muscle specific gym equipment.

Static Stretching time can be reduced.

During work-out:

The massage gun can be used in the target muscle for 15 to 20 seconds in between the work out to relieve any muscle spasms that you may experience when increasing the intensity level of the work out. It can also re-energize and fight fatigue, allowing you to increase the number of repeats possible.

Post work-out:

The massager can also be used for up to 2 minutes after the workout, to get immediate pain relief if required. The massage also decreases soreness and improves muscle recovery.
Using the massager in a planned approach can optimize muscle activation and maximize muscle recovery.
Body weight foam-rolling can be eliminated.

Professional athletes can say good-bye to DOMS: 

Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is a condition that many professional athletes face during training. Muscles tend to become sore after the workout, sometimes so delayed, that the damage to the muscle is already done before recognizable symptoms appear.

Professional athletes need to strengthen one specific muscle to gain certain performance aspects and avoiding DOMS is important in such situations. As an example, Pole-Vault athletes need the specific muscle groups to be super efficient in those few seconds when you put it to high strains. Even volleyball and basketball players use specific muscles during a spike or a 3-pointer shot.

Using a good massage gun in the recommended fashion can completely eliminate DOMS by caring for the muscle before, during and after the exercise regimen.

Other known benefits: 

The massage gun is also known to provide other numerous long term benefits such as the following

  • Accelerated Muscle Recovery and Repair
  • Better relaxation
  • Comfortable sleep patterns
  • Deeper Breathing
  • Enhanced activation of Nervous System and muscles
  • Good blood circulation
  • Higher Oxygen levels in the bloodstream
  • Increased lymphatic flow
  • Kick up lactic acid removal
  • Lowering of Blood Pressure
  • Muscle pain, fatigue, soreness and tightness reduction
  • Natural Stress Relief
  • Overriding of pain signals to the brain
  • Quicker breaking up of scar tissues
  • Reduction in muscle cramps
  • Spasm and stiffness relief of muscles
  • Toxin removal

 

Head options

This specific product has 6 massage head options that can be used interchangeably in the device.

Each shape of the head provides optimum massaging to various muscles in the body, as detailed below. 

Ball Head: This is a spherical shaped head, this is useful when massaging large muscle groups in the body. Specifically suited for the back, chest and hips.

Bullet shaped Head: This shape is suited for muscles or tissues that are a bit deep inside the body from the contacting skin surface. Typically used in Acupressure points, tendons in the feet, joints, soles and the palm. Provides focused vibrational pulses to a small area.

Flat Head: The flat head can be used at all parts of the body, including waist, back and arm. The wider surface area of contact with slight curvature provides the massaging vibration to penetrate through a larger area of the body.

Spade shaped Head: This shape is recommended for body bones and muscle relaxation. Can be used where longer muscles are present. Examples are upper arm, lower arm, upper back, forehead, calf muscles etc.

Thumb shaped Head: This one is recommended for use in softer tissue areas such as the hand, feet and facial muscles.

U-shaped Head: This shape provides two touch points close to each other, and is beneficial to locations which are sensitive, such as Neck, Shoulder, Bony areas, and sensitive muscles.

FAQ:

1. What is the expected battery life?

Under normal usage conditions, the battery should run for 4 to 6 hours. Since it is a rechargeable battery, we recommend recharging after each day’s usage.

2. How should I care for the heads?

The heads must be wiped clean after each use. It is recommended not to use the massage gun with oil, creams, balms or other skin products as the massage gun is not aimed at the skin, but deeper tissues and muscles. You can apply skincare after using the massage gun.

3. Can I share the unit with my friend?

Since the massage heads come to contact with your skin, we recommend that each individual use separate units to be safe and to avoid any skin irritation.

Moisture meter, dampness detector

Description: 

Moisture Meter, Dampness Detector, Hygrometer

Description: 


MT-18 model Moisture Meter/Dampness Detector is a sturdy hand-held device that can be used to measure the moisture content of many materials and to detect dampness in multiple locations. The unit has a high-precision probe and HD display.

The meter can be used to detect and measure the moisture levels in materials such as

  • Wood
  • Paper
  • Floor
  • Wall
  • Medicinal and Agricultural Products
  • Cardboard and Carton Materials 

 

Technology and usage: 

The device uses a very simple technology of using the electrical properties between the two probe points. Once the probes are in touch with the surface of the material to be tested, the small electrical pulse analyzes and measures the electrical property of the material and converts the measured response into the moisture content of the material. 

Display shows the moisture content in an easy to read format, with one decimal place, which is the sensitivity of the equipment. Display is LCD.

Applications: 

Once the type of material is selected, the meter can be used by touching the surface with the two probes and then measuring the moisture level in the material.

Under the Wood option, there are 4 categories of wood material that are possible to be tested.

Category A: covers Afrormosia, Cord, Imbuia, Kokrodua, Niove Bidinkala, Rubber tree, Teak and Walnut.

Category B: covers Beech, Cedar, Keruing, Tola and White Poplar.

Category C: covers Ash, Cherry, Elm, Fir, Lauan, Maple, Oak and Padauk.

Category D: covers Basswood, Birch, Larch and Pine.

This option is suited for users in the timber and wood industries, furniture manufacturers, plywood and processed wood product users, etc.

Under the Paper option: Cardboard, Carton Paper, and regular Paper can be tested.

Under the Wall option: Wallboard and Sheetrock can be tested.

Uses: 


Home owners can use the device to check dampness in walls, false ceilings, wooden floors, to detect potential water leakage location in concealed plumbing, storage boxes where water damageable materials (like books and old photographs) are kept, to prevent termite attacks (damp wood is a breeding ground for termites), basement walls and cellar walls, backside of roofs, patio wood, barns, etc.

Farmers can use the device for checking water content of produce as well as wood.

The unit can also be used by curators in museums, quality control personnel in industries and tech enthusiasts anywhere.

Maintenance: 

The unit is easy and simple to maintain. The probe is protected by a cover which needs to be in place when the meter is not used. If the surface that is measured is wet or sticky, the probes need to be wiped clean with a dry cloth before being stored. The probes can also be gently cleaned with soap solution using a towel, if required. Store the unit in a dry place, away from sunlight. We recommend the batteries to be changed at least once in 6 months or sooner, if the battery indicator shows low battery.

FAQ:

1. What precautions should I take in using the device?

The probes have sharp ends, the user must take caution not to scratch or poke oneself or others when using the device. When not being used, it is recommended to keep the cover of the probe in place to avoid accidental scratching or poking to skin.

2. Should I poke the surface with the probe or just touch?

It is recommended to gently press the probes onto the surface to be tested. This is to ensure proper electrical contact. The wood, paper or cardboard surface may show marks or small holes from the probe after testing, so it is recommended to test in a discardable sample or at a surface location that is not visible later. Gently touching the surface may not provide sufficient contact to have a good and accurate reading.
