Lego rocks! Its seriously cool and one of the many things that makes it cool is the huge range of Lego Star Wars minifigs that you can buy, either in stores or from auction sites like EBay. But what if you want your Star Wars minifigs to be a little bit special? Well, one way I tried recently was to give an Imperial Stormtrooper a fantastic pair of red glow-in-the-dark eyes. Just right for an evil meanie.

So, how did I do it? Well, it was all based on an idea that I found at Big Clives website - you can see it in my resource box below.

Its a device called a Joule Thief - no that's not someone who steals diamonds. A Joule Thief is like a torch without a case that will take either an AA or AAA battery in the holder and use whatever power is left in the battery to light a red LED. It can actually light any color of LED but Stormtroopers have got to have red eyes - right? The amazing thing about this circuit is that it will run right down to the bottom of the batteries charge if left running continuously, and will often provide a week of continuous low level light from a battery that would normally be considered dead.

So, first of all you'll need a LEGO Star Wars minifig to mod. I used an imperial stormtrooper since the helmet makes it easy to hide the electronics and the body is quite wide - just like me!

The other items you'll need are:

30 cm of 0.15 mm isolated copper wire.

A 1k ohm SMD resistor.

A general purpose switching SMD transistor.

A red SMD LED.

A small ferrite bead, 6 mm outer diameter.

A miniature push button.

A piece of thin copper foil for battery terminals (I butchered this piece from a PCB).

A piece of thick paper to mount behind the LED in the helmet.

and finally a small piece of flexible dark red plastic film to go in front of the LED.

First you have to decapitate your Star Wars minifigs to allow for insertion of electronics and battery.

After taking off the head, cut the helmet down a bit to make room for the electronics in the helmet, and use a small tool like a dremel to carve out enough room in the upper and lower body to make room for the battery.

Next, cut a small hole in the back to prepare for insertion of a miniature push button in the top center.

Next, assemble your Joule Thief. A full set of instructions is given at bigclives website above, but its fairly straightforward. Just wind the ferrite bead with 0.15 mm copper wire and connect up the resistor and transistor in the centre. Two wires should be left sticking out to the left to connect up the LED and another two wires left for connecting up the push button and battery.

You then need to embed the button in the back of your Lego Star Wars miifig at the top center of the body.

Finally, place the red film inside the helmet and re-assemble the minifigs. Voila - you now have a customised Star Wars minifigs that will be the envy of all of your friends.

vacuum dryer

This invention relates to a compact vacuum dryer for quickly and economically drying objects such as grain, industrial raw materials and thrash. The vacuum dryer includes a combined upper and lower chamber for accommodating the drying objects. A vacuum pump is connected to the upper chamber for drawing in air for creating the vacuum within the system. A direct heating apparatus is provided at one side of the combination of the upper and lower chambers to directly heat the drying objects. A dielectric heating apparatus indirectly heats the drying objects in combination with direct heating apparatus. A moisture removing apparatus is provided along a discharge passage between the upper chamber and the vacuum pump for preventing the vacuum pump from drawing in moisture from the chamber which may damage or disable the pump.
1. A vacuum dryer comprising:
an upper chamber;

a lower chamber, detachably mounted in communication with the upper chamber for accommodating objects to be dried;

a vacuum pump, connected to the upper chamber by a conduit, for drawing in air to create a vacuum within the combination of said upper and lower chambers;

a direct heating means positioned on the upper chamber for directly heating objects to be dried within the combination of the upper and lower chambers;

a dielectric heating means for heating the objects to be dried in areas of the combination of the upper and lower chambers remotely located from the direct heating means; and,

a moisture removing means, provided along the conduit between the upper chamber and the vacuum pump, for removing moisture from the air drawn by the vacuum pump originating from the combination of the upper and lower chambers.

2. The vacuum dryer as recited in claim 1, further including an agitating means provided in the combination of the upper and lower chambers for agitating drying objects accommodated therein to facilitate drying.

3. The vacuum dryer as recited in claim 1, wherein the direct heating means includes an electric heater provided in the combination of upper and lower chambers.

4. The vacuum dryer as recited in claim 1, wherein the dielectric heating means includes an oscillator for generating high frequency signals and a feeding pipe for feeding the high frequency signals into the combination of the upper and lower chambers.

5. The vacuum dryer as recited in claim 1, wherein the moisture removing means includes a condenser for extracting moisture from air and a container for collecting the moisture removed from the air by the condenser.

6. The vacuum dryer as claimed in claim 2, wherein the agitating means includes a motor positioned on an exterior surface of the lower chamber and a fan rotatably connected to the motor located within an interior portion of the combination of the upper and lower chambers.

7. A vacuum dryer comprising:
an upper chamber;

a lower chamber, detachably mounted in communication with the upper chamber for accommodating objects to be dried;

a vacuum pump, connected to the upper chamber by a conduit, for drawing in air to create a vacuum within the combination of said upper and lower chambers;

a dielectric heating means for heating the objects to be dried located in areas of the combination of the upper and lower chambers remotely located from the direct heating means;

a moisture removing means, provided along the conduit between the upper chamber and the vacuum pump, for removing moisture from the air drawn by the vacuum pump originating from the combination of the upper and lower chambers; and,

a compression means provided in the combination of the upper and lower chambers for compressing object to be dried which are accommodated therein.

8. The vacuum dryer as claimed in claim 7, wherein the compression means includes a motor fixed to an exterior surface of the upper chamber for generating a rotating force, a shaft fixed to the motor for motion vertically forward and backward in response to operation of the motor, and a compression plate fixed at an end of the moving shaft opposite from the motor for compressing objects to be dried within the combination of the upper and lower chambers when the moving shaft moves forward.

9. The vacuum dryer as claimed in claim 8, wherein the compression plate includes a plurality of holes for allowing moisture to escape from objects being compressed.

How many motor mounts are there on a 1994 Grand Am Gt, 3.1L?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are any other mounts that support the engine. I know there is one on the upper left side of the engine. The one that the serpentine belt is routed around. Also, I know there is a transaxle mount as well. Are there any other mounts or are those the only two?
I haven't had a chance to look for one near the firewall yet, but if it is there, what is it called? Is it just another motor mount? I have looked at online auto parts stores, and they only show one type of motor mount for sale, and one type of transaxle mount. What should I be looking up if I want to replace all my mounts? Thanks!

There is one more. Located in the rear of the engine near the firewall. You can see it best from under the car.
