Let's make a jack from a PET bottle, which will become an indispensable assistant in everyday life.
If you need to lift alone furniture or heavy household appliances, to place a stand or place carpet under it, you can use a very simple jack. It will allow you to lift the weight without straining your back at all.
To make a jack, you need to squeeze the bottle, making it flat. Then a garden sprayer with a piston is screwed onto its neck. The jack is all ready.
To lift heavy furniture, household appliances or a machine, you need to place a compressed plastic bottle under them.
Then, using the sprayer pump, you need to pump it with air. As the bottle inflates, it will lift the weight upward until it takes on its normal shape.
In fact, it is quite possible to achieve a rise of 5-8 cm. This is quite enough to place stands under the legs necessary to level the level. This jack can also be used to remove a door from its hinges.
To lower the jack, you need to release the pressure in the bottle by pressing the button on the sprayers.Due to the softness of the bottle, it does not scratch or deform the bottom of lifted objects, and does not dent the floor. As tests have shown, the power of the pump and the strength of the bottle are quite enough to lift the legs of a table with an installed machine weighing more than 100 kg.
What you will need:
- plastic bottle 2 l;
- garden sprayer on a bottle.
