I made a welding machine from a very cool electric fan motor

Did you know we can salvage lots of item from an Old Microwave Oven? Yes we can!

First, there is that large transformer which we can convert to an electric welding machine.

Second, there is a small gear motor (that turns the carousel) where we can use for a slow speed projects like a mirror ball motor..

Third, a microwave oven has this heavy duty blower fan, where we can use as a mini desk fan, this is where our instructables are featured..

Best for those who are into renewable energy, this project does not consume lots of energy..

Materials:

1. old microwave oven.

2. Any small LCD monitor stand or the like! I am planning to build one out of wood for a more pleasing design.

3. AC line cord with plug. I salvage one from a dvd player.

4. AC line cord switch. I used an AC plug adapter with switch.

Tools Needed.

1. Screw driver set. (to dismantle the oven)

2. Wire cutter and stripper

3. Soldering iron and soldering lead.

Instructables!!!

Very simple! distructables the Microwave oven...remove the small cooling fan.

Mount the fan on any suitable stand..solder a line cord to the two ac terminal, add

switch if preferred.

Save other microwave parts for other projects!

1. The big transfomer

2. small gear motor

3. Small bulb with receiver

4. Lots of microswitches.

5. Touch panel or timer switch

6. Electronic board if available.

7. pyrex round plate.

8. lazy susan roller.

9. etc, etc.
