An unusual seven-segment combination lock in an unusual little souvenir safe.

This small souvenir safe is equipped with an electric combination lock made from a seven-segment display. The lock latch is driven in a completely unconventional way – by a tiny micromotor typically used to create vibrations in phones. Because this micromotor can operate from a single 18650 lithium-ion battery, I was able to greatly simplify the entire electrical circuit. The entire electrical component consists of the battery, micromotor, 8 microswitches, and wires with connectors. I solved the problem of matching the high-speed but low-power micromotor with the slow-moving lock latch by using a flywheel made from a rubber wheel from a children's toy car.

Quick release small reflective panel for clothing/backpack with magnetic fastener.

When cycling or scootering at night, it's advisable to wear reflective clothing. Magnets secure the quick-release reflective element, which is important for preserving the waterproof fabric of your windbreaker or backpack.

A modified Archimedes screw

If the remarkable, albeit very ancient, Archimedes screw is used to lift water, an external power source is required (such as engines, draft animals, or even people). I designed and built a screw with a specially shaped impeller. Even with a weak current, this screw lifts water on its own, without any external assistance.
