OT - What can I do with the old electronics from a discarded coffee pot?
 

People here have lots of ideas, help!

My wife's old coffee pot bit the dust mechanically, and has been replaced. I have the programmable electronic clock and controls which still work perfectly. The programmble control allows turning on of any load up to about 15 amps, based on the relay that does the switching of the 120V to the load.. Once on, I believe the load is connected permanently. I haven't tested that yet.

Now I am wondering what to do with the electronics. I hate to just toss out a perfectly functioning electronic clock and timer. IDEAS!!!!!????!!!!!

Put the clock in a box, attach a power cord on one side, a coffee maker
on the other and there you have a coffee maker with a clock to control
when it turns on and makes you morning coffee!

You could use it to turn on a nuclear power plant. Once
construction was completed. If it stayed on permanently, that would
be fine,

You could have it turn off by putting a normally closed, push button
switch in the power to the clock. The clock wouldn't actually give
the time then. It would give the elapsed time since the device was
last turned off.

You could use it to turn on a van de Graf generator under the covers

Plug a water valve solenoid into it and use to to blast the "hard to
wake" sleeper with a jet of water in the morning. You could market this
as a combination alarm clock and morning shower for the busy executive
and sell it through the Hammacher-Schlemmer catalog.

Would that make a better alarn clock than the one that shreds your money?

List on Ebay for someone whose coffee pot has good mechanics but needs
electronics. Or, you could ship it to Afghanistan and they can use it to
wire bombs. You might use it to wire a ghetto blaster, and set it to
turn a loud radio on about 4 AM, and leave it in vacant house in
Detroit, might scare some crack heads.

Paul

Every coffee maker I have owned in the last few decades already has a
programmable clock to automatically turn on the pot at any time that it
is set for. Then, all you have to do is to remember to load the water,
filter, and coffee grinds the night before.

use it to control a receptacle through a relay and turn it into an alarm
clock?

I never understood why older clock radios used to have a receptacle in
the back for your nightstand lamp but that feature has apparently become
unpopular... I need all the help I can get to get out of the bed in the AM!

Yeah, you could turn on a lamp with that, or even the coffee. We had
3 of those, made my Arvin Radio. I still have one.

I think they were unpopular even before the radios were
transistorized, but now the clock can't handle 110 volts. They could
use a relay, but don't.

I don't think we ever did use the receptacle.

You get out in the AM? I"ve got it down to 2 PM but I'm still working
on AM.

I have just started a turn-on cycle, I need to see if it ever turns back off or if it just stays on forever. My wife never left it on for more than an hour or so once the coffee was made, we'll see what happens. The switched output is via a relay, so it can control up to 20 amps at 120V according to the rating on the relay contacts.

The clock (not radio) I had in high school didn't. I didn't know such
were available--so I jury-rigged the one I had with a relay and a plug,
into which I connected a record player.
