Thanks! What a brilliant video! And a clever reuse.💡This plug-in/socket timer was patented by the German company Theben in 1977, namely the socket in the middle of the switching ring. In the same year, 1977, the Theben timer received a German design award. I had a device like this in the 80s, and recently I found a similar one in a thrift store, with a black case, made in 1987.🤩Even complete with an unbroken transparent cover. I unscrewed it, cleaned everything (although it was clean) and lubricated all the bearings and wheels, now there is almost no running noise. The construction is really very solid and the housing is made of very good plastic.
@@Germanicus2415 No, you could do it with far fewer... Let's say that each one is set to be on 15 minutes per day. The first timer will only pass current to the second timer for 15 minutes each day. So the second timer will only turn on after 96 hours! The third one will turn on after 9216 hours or 384 days!
@@hugeshows Yes, you are absolutely right. I was doing something else and put the comment without thinking. You know what they say, better keep your mouth shut and let others think you're stupid than speak and confirm it.
@@Germanicus2415 Don't sweat it, it's very easy to miss. What I am describing is basically a counting system that is base-96, so each digit is 96x bigger than the one preceding it. We're so used to base-10 that it's very easy to miss how quickly base-96 gets big.
I almost cut my thumb off 8 months ago too. On a vintage fan 1950's or early 60's Kenmore 16 inch fan that had a metal blade. I was half asleep & reached down in the dark to shut it off. Same hand, same thumb. I received permanent nerve damage. I hope you didn't on your injury!
the one in the video looks similar to: www.theben.de/ocsmedia/optimized/full/o11664v78%20theben-timer%2026%20-%20Data%20sheet.pdf Quite limited datasheet, though.
I can easily restore the teeth by moulding the healthy section with 2-part kneading silicone and then some high-strength epoxy cast into it in the proper spot. The remaining teeth easily register the mould. Quicker than going to a store for a new one :D
Very good explanation of the motor and I also had questions about the stopper/redirection arm in order to re-assemble correctly. Now that I’ve seen your video I know how to do it! Thank you so much.
My mid-80s Intermatic plug-in timer has all steel gears in it. The wheel itself is plastic but the gear teeth are very robust. The gearing is more complex than in this timer, though.
Great explanation of the motor! I once opened one of these devices but couldn't understand the purpose of that "turnstopper peg". Now I feel so enlightened :D
hello danyk! please if you can, make a video explaining in detail your big smps power supply of 3-60 volts, 40a, especially the ferrite transformer, it has an extrange sharpe c:
I want to see teeth restored. You can copy and paste them with some clay and epoxy or super-glue. And will it work properly if resistor replaced with capacitor?
It looks like someone tried to turn it backwards. At 4:33 I could see the damaged gear on the "ring". They are good, reliable timers when treated well.
The biggest disadvantage of such a timer is that it will stop running when there is a power outage or it is unplugged. And of course modern timers can usually do more complex programs like weekly etc, and use higher resolution.
The more modern timers I had with a digital dispay and a relay inside have all broken within 2 years. They seem designed to fail just out of warranty...
@@bobdebouwer7835 Most likely the switch contacts are failing. Which may just be due to the type of load you're switching with it and what the relay in it is rated for.
In some countries like Belgium,the right in the socket is live,not neutral.Opposite of Czech Republic or Poland. In Hungary we use the type F Shcuko sockets(the german type).There is no rule where to put live,some electricians put it to left,others to right.
Brilliant electromechanical engineering! Nowadays nobody is using the mains frequency for timing what with the advent of microcontrollers. In the synchronous motor the rotor I suspect is a two pole circular magnet, so the interaction between the two fields maybe slightly different.
Type E plug is polarized, by standard does not specify the polarity. It is used in France, Belgium, Czekia, Slovakia and Poland. This timer is probably made for France, where neutral in on the left, but in Czeckoslovakia, neutral was on the right. Similar thing is between Australia and Argentina, as they use same plug but reverse polarity. Any normal device would work just fine, but it is always safer to turn off live wire.
I hope you fix broken teeth or make new wheel on 3D printer to make it fully function. I have almost same but modern one with no pin you can lose. it have little plastic "switches" so you can set every 15minutes to ON or OFF. I have also old German digital one it need three small batteries to hold time and setting when no mains also is not grounded in Czech power outlet only in schuko :-) Also have three square digital timer but two of them fail by capacitor I can't find spare.
This timer has only one disadvantage: if you put turn-on and turn-off pins on the same hour on the ring, the timer will get stuck, so it's not idiot proof
@oH well,lord! I guess it would harm it, since the pins would block the ring, so it would block the motor and eventually be similar to turning the ring the wrong way round. And couldn't a one-off timer be obtained by simply only putting pins in "off"-holes?
I have a digital one, with probably at least a million transistors in a microcontroller. This one has zero transistors. Truely magical technology from the old days, which required a strange way of thinking...
No no, you are wrong. This is the normal way of thinking. It is the analog Universe God has given to us. There, your borders is Physics. The digital thing is thinking only 2 dimensionale with borders other persons limiting you. 🤔😘
Dammit I have a digital clock made but them! Wow I had no idea that they were making timers since then. My timer have a stupid backup 2032 and each year I have to open my panel, remove the din timer, open it up, resolder the battery and change it. One of those days I will convert the circuit to accept a rechargable battery.
Did you test the timer after you made the modification,it seems good idea because it saves power, but i think you have another problem which is the motor will cut the power on itself before opening the switch completely , and the switch will go back on again and on off on ...
No. Motor needs AC for turning (synchronous AC motor) and timing (10 turn per second). AC in Europe is very accurate, and even during brownouts it has to average 50 Hz or 4320000 cycles per day.
A note on E and F type sockets/plugs they are technically unpolarized, so neutral and live can go anywhere, don't know about Czech standards, but in Poland even though there isn't any standard for the polarization of those plugs, electricians are thought to put live on the left IIRC... I always have the approach that they are unpolarized, so any switching inside devices that have a E or F plug, I do on both wires
In Czechia the live is on the left but in France it is on the right as in most countries. In Finland it also is on the right even though on schuko it does not matter. Most switches r single pole even Nexa remote controlled ones. Only switches on extension cords are double pole. With schuko you can at least put the switch on the right way. With the polarized plug you cannot if the switch expect different. I put all my swiches so that they cut the line.
Because the wedges that operate the contacts will only work in one direction. If you tried to turn it in the wrong direction then they would jam and get broken.
I have a similar (indeed very old) timer. But what caught my attention is the fact that the ground pin is sticking out from the plane of the live and neutral. Do you know, or anyone, is there any kind of definition or industry standard for the positions of live and neutral. I know for most household stuff it does not really matter much, but I have been digging on this topic a while ago and came up empty handed. It has been a while, but as far I can recall (maybe even incorrectly...) only the UK has a binding directive regarding the pins position with respect to the ground pin. I even went through a pile of old computer cables, hoping that would give some more hint. The only conclusion I could reach: always bring a working multimeter, dont trust color codings in appliances. Where does this indifference about live and neutral stem from ? Purely historical might be? I dunno. I cannot put my finger on..it might be live (yeah bad bad joke)
Another comment chain here discusses the polarity or lack thereof on European plugs: ua-cam.com/video/arSndtfrlaU/v-deo.html&lc=UgzUYcSaR_rFBL_ZfsR4AaABAg I think most types of plugs except for the Shucko ones have a globally well-defined polarity. North American and Australian ones definitely do as well.

Analog thermostats take no current as the switching action is done by a bimetallic strip bending and some levers. What you see is the switchable current, 10A max, 2A for inductive loads, maybe? Don't know how this works. Digital ones take less than a watt, depends on the type of relay and low voltage power supply, the electronics itself take nearly nothing.
@@vaclavtrpisovsky thank you. My thermostate is the type used in heater systems to turn on and off the pumps that run the hot water through the pipes. It is an analog one with a bimetallic strip I already knew that, but I didn't know what the current it could handle was. I didn't understand the label.
Yes, this saves NiCad batteries from dumb chargers that dry them out with continuous charge. Work carefully! I don't trust any battery chargers or LiPo batteries unattended; charge and store 'em in metal ammo box from Harbor Freight
Try to search for a vintage, used one. Modern ones seem to use 96 plastic levers, which is perhaps more practical (up to 96 on/off actions per day), but less aesthetically pleasing. DGW is unlikely to own more than one, though, he would have shown the other one and maybe exchanged parts.
Inquiry Peace, mercy and blessings of God Dear brother I got an idea and needed your support The subject talks about the adapter or inverter This inverter or transformer is a mediator between the house electricity and the air conditioner What are the problems so that we can work out solutions to them Can you explain to me what he is responsible for, and is it possible to appreciate or not? He takes 12 volts from the house and gives the air conditioner 220 Dc or Ac the air conditioner consumption And be a mediator between them and thus we provided electricity Some inverters or transformers have a pure positive for home appliances and are installed with solar energy The question / What are the obstacles before us in order to be able to solve this problem? In the event that the issue is successful, a contract with you will be made and given you a certain percentage of the profits Note I am not an expert in electronics, electricity or energy But an entrepreneurial businessman
_"12 volts from the house"_ Is this a typo or is electric installation completely bonkers in your house? Is this some kind of solar-based system I am not familiar with? (The problem is: to carry kilowatts to high-power devices like heaters or motors, you would need hundreds of amps, which puts a great strain on wiring and causes significant power losses due to cable resistance.) Check the specification of the devices you want to use. The invertor's input voltage has to match your home socket (incl. whether it is DC or AC), your socket needs to supply enough current (this is a huge problem if it only runs at 12 V), the output of the invertor must match the input of the air conditioner (same voltage, whether AC or DC - very important for motors, same frequency if AC, enough continuous current). Have you bought the transformer/invertor already or are you seeking a product? You have not specified which issue has arisen, if any. Reply with a model number, rewrite the label of the device (on the back, bottom or side, usually close to power input) or link to device specifications, otherwise I cannot offer more specific advice.
If you seek advice from DiodeGoneWild, be aware that he barely replies to comments. You better contact him at danyk.cz/kontakt.html (his personal webpage and email). Prepare a better question than _"What are the problems"_ - you should know at least how the problem manifests itself (symptoms, if any) or what model your air conditioner and invertor you are looking for is. If the problem has arisen in translation, try to get a better translator, DiodeGoneWild does not speak Arabic.
All of Middle East uses 220V~50 Hz. If you are looking to convert 12 V DC from your solar panels to mains, look for: • Pure sine wave inverter (modified sine wave disrupts power supplies and causes electronics to fail sooner) • 220V~50 Hz output, enough output current and power to power everything you need (just add up watts and amps) • Probably also a backup battery so you can power devices on cloudy days or at night

Digital ones take less than a watt, depends on the type of relay and low voltage power supply, the electronics itself take nearly nothing.
@@vaclavtrpisovsky thank you. My thermostate is the type used in heater systems to turn on and off the pumps that run the hot water through the pipes. It is an analog one with a bimetallic strip I already knew that, but I didn't know what the current it could handle was. I didn't understand the label.
Super hit
Can someone (or eveb better *YOU*) explain what channel profile image is?
You could make some new teeth using baking soda and super glue 👍
Try touching it while it's plugged innnnnnnnnnn
Sir how are you? and your cat too
He was born in '87... here's the about me page on his website: danyk.cz/ja_en.html
Stál jenom dvacku?
v roce 1988... to dává smysl
Good to hear
Yes, this saves NiCad batteries from dumb chargers that dry them out with continuous charge.
Work carefully!
I don't trust any battery chargers or LiPo batteries unattended; charge and store 'em in metal ammo box from Harbor Freight
Why is the switch on the live side and not neutral ?
Can you sent me 1 please?
How do you think the world works? Just get one for
@@vaclavtrpisovsky i didnt mean free however i cant find this one here i can buy something but this one im intrested
Try to search for a vintage, used one. Modern ones seem to use 96 plastic levers, which is perhaps more practical (up to 96 on/off actions per day), but less aesthetically pleasing. DGW is unlikely to own more than one, though, he would have shown the other one and maybe exchanged parts.
I cannot like more
WTF? Čo to je za angličtinu??? ako nejaký rusák...
Inquiry Peace, mercy and blessings of God Dear brother I got an idea and needed your support The subject talks about the adapter or inverter This inverter or transformer is a mediator between the house electricity and the air conditioner What are the problems so that we can work out solutions to them Can you explain to me what he is responsible for, and is it possible to appreciate or not? He takes 12 volts from the house and gives the air conditioner 220 Dc or Ac the air conditioner consumption And be a mediator between them and thus we provided electricity Some inverters or transformers have a pure positive for home appliances and are installed with solar energy The question / What are the obstacles before us in order to be able to solve this problem? In the event that the issue is successful, a contract with you will be made and given you a certain percentage of the profits Note I am not an expert in electronics, electricity or energy But an entrepreneurial businessman
_"12 volts from the house"_
Is this a typo or is electric installation completely bonkers in your house? Is this some kind of solar-based system I am not familiar with? (The problem is: to carry kilowatts to high-power devices like heaters or motors, you would need hundreds of amps, which puts a great strain on wiring and causes significant power losses due to cable resistance.)
Check the specification of the devices you want to use. The invertor's input voltage has to match your home socket (incl. whether it is DC or AC), your socket needs to supply enough current (this is a huge problem if it only runs at 12 V), the output of the invertor must match the input of the air conditioner (same voltage, whether AC or DC - very important for motors, same frequency if AC, enough continuous current).
Have you bought the transformer/invertor already or are you seeking a product? You have not specified which issue has arisen, if any.
Reply with a model number, rewrite the label of the device (on the back, bottom or side, usually close to power input) or link to device specifications, otherwise I cannot offer more specific advice.
If you seek advice from DiodeGoneWild, be aware that he barely replies to comments. You better contact him at danyk.cz/kontakt.html (his personal webpage and email). Prepare a better question than _"What are the problems"_ - you should know at least how the problem manifests itself (symptoms, if any) or what model your air conditioner and invertor you are looking for is. If the problem has arisen in translation, try to get a better translator, DiodeGoneWild does not speak Arabic.
All of Middle East uses 220V~50 Hz. If you are looking to convert 12 V DC from your solar panels to mains, look for:
• Pure sine wave inverter (modified sine wave disrupts power supplies and causes electronics to fail sooner)
• 220V~50 Hz output, enough output current and power to power everything you need (just add up watts and amps)
• Probably also a backup battery so you can power devices on cloudy days or at night
What happened to your hand 🙄🙄

Horribly complicated mechanism.
I would say it is elegantly minimal.
