Converting a Battery toy to an AC/DC Adapter

The Ronco

"Tidie Drier."

I guess Ronco's theory was that if you're going to spell one of the words wrong, you might as well do 'em both.

1950's???

Ok - that is a very attractively presented advertisement. But 1950's????!!!!
No.
1990's and later.
But a well done presentation.
Maybe they meant that the FL design reminded them of the last great era of FLs in the US.
Those are fun toys buy the way - just the sort of thing I would have killed for as a little boy.

The Miele vacuum delaer here has those miniature "toy" washers-hate to call them toys-look like a model of the machine.The detail of them is pretty good-maybe should get one to see how it works.

.....no guts, no glory?

Hey, keep in mind power input increases exponentially, as the square of the increase in voltage. That means that when you double the voltage, you will double the current and the power input will quadruple.

The same is true for centrifugal force. Double that spin speed and the centrifugal force will quadruple. No joke.

So, Robert, if you don't fry Suzy, you may explode her!

Anyway, I've got a couple of industrial 5 HP motors sitting around, maybe I should retrofit a few of my appliances. Hmmm... I've been wanting that 3450 RPM spin in the Hotpoint for a while now... I'd put it in the Kenmore, but then she wouldn't be a Lady anymore.
