Everyone who comes from, all day to dangle on the legs knows that how good shoes would not be, but it is still wounded sooner or later. But not everyone knows how to dry shoes so that it is not enough for one season. Of course, if the shoes are cheap and it is not a pity, then you can dry the heat, in such a cycle for one season you will be enough. But if you have good shoes, and you wish to pass in it not one season, then the drying process of the shoe must take more responsibly, so as not to spoil it.
The main thing is to increase the life of the shoes, this drying is not warm (on the battery), and at room temperature. But, of course, the shoes itself will not have time to dry, so that the process is accelerated, it must be dried by air flow.
Of course, the usual fan in the shoes will not shovel, and even if you put it nearby, it will create a very not comfortable setting. But there is always a way out, and I will tell you how to make a compact dryer for shoes with your own hands, with the aerodynamic drying method.
For the manufacture of dryer for shoes we will need:
- Computer fan 60x60mm.
- plastic electric junction box (selected based on the dimensions of the fan),
- Corrugated pipe D-25mm - 1m,
- power supply 220 / 12V,
- connector (mother) for power supply,
The electrical junction box can be found in any electromagazine. They differ in size and shape (round, square) and method of installation (internal, exterior). In our case, a box for outdoor installation is necessary, due to the fact that it is sealed and there are rubber plugs.
From the box, we remove two plugs, and the holes (if necessary) are expanding so that the corrugations are close to the holes.
In the bottom of the box, cutting holes under the fan.
Fan screwed up self-draws or bolts.
Side Breppy Connector for the power supply, while do not confuse polarity so that the fan is blowing inward the box, and not out.
The ends of the corrugated tube must be drowning, in this case there were capsules in which the booties are sold.
At the ends of the corrugation, it is necessary to make many small holes for air output. Easy and quickly can be done using a soldering iron.
The aerodynamic dryer for shoes manufactured by its own hands is ready. It took only a couple of hours.
Now it remains only to connect to the connector any power supply to 12V and include on the network. The ends of the corrugations insert into shoes. The fan will drive the air along the hoses thereby dry the shoes with air from the inside.
This dryer is absolutely safe because it is made of plastic and powered by a low voltage of 12V. Power consumption does not exceed 2 W and you can feed from the battery.
As for its destination, this dryer, completely wet shoes dries in 2-6 hours, and even in the most hard-to-reach places. At the same time, shoes do not lose its initial qualities.
You can not buy such a dryer in the store, and you can make it yourself only in a couple of hours.
