Construction 2

This is another view giving us a better view of the fuses attached to the power supply. The fuses are another line of defense for when the power supply goes out of whack. They will blow out if you start to get shocked by the power supply.
 This is me soldering a relay to a wire so I can connect it to the relay circuit that I am building. A relay is an automatic electronic switch that turns on and of the power of larger power sources.   
This is me during the construction of the relay circuit using different resistors. The two resisters on the screen are 1k ohm resister and a 10k ohm resister.  
This is the electrical schematic for the relay circuit that I'm using to construct the relay circuit. I created this drawing in the electrical program eagle. This program is used to make proto-boards which are the silicon chips in things like a vcr.
This is my second relay that I soldered. the difference between this relay and my other relay is that this one is single thrust double pole. 
This is my first relay. This relay is single thrust single pole. This relay is made to handle bigger power sources like a juicer or a high power light source.
 This is one of my electronic valves. To control these valves I am using the relay because the micro-controller is two weak to control the valve.
This is one of my tanks that I am using to store the drinking water before the user decides to drink the lemonade out of the cup. The whole in the bottom attaches to the black cylinder attached to the valve.
This is me working on my relay circuits. You can see the static control band on the ground near the left corner of the picture.
