Parts from the washing machine - material for many useful homemade products

What could be an engine from an old washing machine

If you are going to make homemade products from a used engine, you need to figure out what it is and what it is capable of. IN washing machines you can find three types of motors: asynchronous, brushless and brushed. Let's take a closer look at them:

These motors are quiet operation.Their only drawback is their impressive size.

It must be admitted that, in comparison with an asynchronous motor, such a motor is noisier. In addition, it often overheats and even sparks.

These models are the most compact. They are distinguished by wear resistance, simple design and high efficiency.

Now that you can determine the type of motor, it remains to decide where you can apply the motor from the washing machine.

We correctly disassemble and decide what can be done from the parts of the old washing machine

Dismantling a washing machine is not a hurry. After working with water, salt build-up may remain on the parts, it must be carefully removed so as not to damage the parts when removing. What can be made from an old washing machine? For homemade products, a motor is useful - it will become the basis for many devices. The drum will also be used. It is usually made of stainless steel. Disconnect all pipes from the drum. A loading hatch may also be useful. In addition to these parts, do not rush to throw away the springs, counterweights and body parts.

For those who understand electronics, you may need a board - it is easy to find spare parts for repair work on it, if necessary

How to make a sharpener or grinder from a washing machine motor

A sharpener is one of the most sought-after home tools. It can be used to sharpen garden tools, household knives and scissors. If you don't already have one, buy it at any tool store or make a grinder from a washing machine. The most difficult moment is how to attach the emery wheel to the motor. The easiest way is to buy a ready-made flange. It looks something like this.

Flange for motor

You can grind a flange from a metal pipe of a suitable diameter, most often a pipe with a section of 32 mm is suitable. From it you need to cut off a piece 15 centimeters long, this is quite enough to fix the emery. The flange is secured to the motor shaft by welding or through bolt. The video describes in detail how a hand-made sharpener from a washing machine works:

We make a wood lathe from a washing machine

What else can you do with the washer motor? One popular idea is lathe on wood. Consider a step-by-step process.

Illustration	Action Description
	Use a metal corner to secure the motor firmly to the workbench. To do this, drill holes for fixing to the motor feet and table.
	To mount a wooden part, you need a flange fixed to the motor shaft, and these are the studs made from ordinary sheared head bolts. Screw these pins into the base. You will need 3 studs.
	The motor is fixed to the table with self-tapping screws, to the metal part - with bolts.
	The opposite end of the wooden part is attached with such a device. It consists of a screw with a loop, two wooden supports perpendicularly fixed to the corners.
	This piece of wood must be movable so that different pieces can be used. For mobility, it is bolted to a threaded rod.
	A power supply is required to control the motor. One of the computer units can be used. You will need to install switches to adjust the rotation speed.
	How to connect a motor to a power supply in animation.
	To guide the instruments, make a handcuff. It consists of two wooden parts and a metal corner.All parts are movable by fastening with one bolt.
	The lower part of the handcuff is rigidly fixed on the workbench with screws and corners.
	The workpiece is fixed on the machine from two sides: on the left - on pins, on the right - on a bolt with a handle. To fix it in the workpiece, you need to drill the corresponding holes.

How to make a simple feather removal machine from a washing machine with your own hands for household needs

Slaughtering poultry is a troublesome stage. Usually they do this in the fall, when the ducks and broilers have reached the desired weight, and it is no longer profitable to keep them in the winter. You need to pinch several dozen, or even hundreds of carcasses very quickly. You can get rid of hard labor with the help of a pen-removable machine, and you can easily do everything from the same parts of the washing machine.

The only thing that can cause difficulties is the search for rubber fingers with a thread - beats. You have to order them, so keep in mind that you need to think about making a machine long before slaughter.

For the device, you can not disassemble the washing machine. It is especially convenient to use top-loading machines. You just need to fix the beats in the drum so that they look inward. Before plucking the chicken, the carcass must be scalded with boiling water, and then simply thrown into a rotating drum. Here's what you get:

And the last point - the feathering device must be firmly fixed, since the vibration when loading the carcass will be very strong.

Lawn mower from a used motor

We continue to look for the answer to the question of where you can use the motor from the washing machine. Another original idea is making lawn mowers... For a small area, an electric model tied to a power source with a cord is sufficient. The device of such a unit is very simple. You will need to make a platform on four wheels with a small diameter.

The platform can be made of metal or OSB plates, plywood and even the body of the same washing machine

The motor is fixed on top of the platform, the shaft is threaded into the hole at the bottom, and a knife is attached to it. It remains only to attach handles and a lever to the cart to turn the power on and off. If you have an asynchronous motor lying around, you will be surprised how quiet the unit will turn out, even in comparison with the factory models.

How to assemble a generator from an old washing machine

We continue to consider homemade products from the motor from the washing machine, and the turn came to the generator. You won't be able to assemble a powerful device, but you can prepare for an emergency shutdown. To turn the engine into a generator, you will have to disassemble it and partially cut off the core. In the rest of the core, you need to make grooves for neodymium magnets.

Place the magnets in two rows with the same spacing.

The gaps between the magnets are filled with cold welding. To operate the device, the kit must include a motorcycle battery, a rectifier and a charge controller. Details of the work in the video:

Homemade concrete mixer

If you have started a small repair that requires, for example, plastering the walls, a concrete mixer will come in handy. And again, the parts of the washing machine come in handy.

As a result, you will get a compact device with low power, which you will not mind throwing away after the completion of repair work.

As a container for concrete, you can use the same drum with pre-sealed holes for draining water. It is best to use parts from a front-loading machine, there is almost nothing to redo. To strengthen the body, use a metal corner, and for convenient movement of the concrete mixer, equip it with wheels. The main difficulty in the design is the manufacture of a "swing" for the correct tilt and subsequent pouring of concrete. How to do it correctly in the video:

Homemade products from the engine from the washing machine: circular saw

You will be surprised, but a circular can also be built on the basis of a washing machine motor. An important point in this matter is the additional equipment of the motor with a device that regulates speed. Without this additional module, the circular will work unevenly and simply will not cope with the task at hand. Device assembly diagram:

Circular saw diagram

The principle of operation of the device is simple: the engine drives the shaft, on which the small pulley is worn. From the small pulley goes the drive belt to the large saw blade pulley.

The resulting unit will not be very powerful, so it can only be used to dissolve boards up to 5 cm thick.How does such a homemade circular work:
