Instruction

1. The compressor for an aquarium consists of three main parts: a pomp, the mechanism of transfer and the electric motor which power should not be less than 50 W for ensuring normal work of a pomp. To make a pomp, paste uvulas of the valves located in an internal part of the building.

Movement of an axis is carried out at the expense of a plate with two cuts which besides influences the size of eccentric transfer.

3. By means of the lathe make sleeves, a flywheel and all components of a pomp of duralumin. Make dish-shaped washers of dural washers. For this purpose it is possible to use an anvil and the hammer. You can make a diaphragm of the small sheet of rubber which thickness should not exceed 1 mm.
