A rear wiper/washer similar what every SUV on the road has. this kit has the motor mounting through the glass, which the end users cannot do since the glass is tempered. The truck cap manufacturers can have the glass drilled appropriately, before tempering. This company does offer another kit that has the motor mounted to the wide metal section, at the bottom of the glass. This is a decent solution except

having the motor mounted at the bottom of the glass is somewhat undesirable, at least to me. So, since my particular truck cap has a lot of space above the glass, I decided to try to retrofit a rear wiper/washer system from of a 1991-1994 Ford Explorer. I chose this setup, mainly, because I own a 1994 Explorer which allowed me to get good measurements of the wiper arm, swipe area, etc so I was fairly confident that I could make it fit and work. I also chose this setup because it is designed to wipe glass of which it is not mounted to. This means that it has a "park" feature that can stow the blade off of the glass when not in use. Also, the Explorer setup is very simple to wire as it only needs two powers and a ground, since the solid state controller (for parking) is internal to the motor. Finally, a very minor thing, but the early Explorers have the wiper/washer switch on the dash (as opposed to the turn signal stalk) so adding it to a different dash is much easier and gives a very clean look. I thought I`d give a quick update since its been about four months since I installed this wiper setup. This thing has worked out great! Everything is holding up really well and it seems like I use it on a daily basis. We just recently got our first decent snow of the season and I snapped a couple pics that are at the bottom of this page. Also, I found while driving in the rain that it would be nice to have this wiper operate on an...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
