Hi.
How to make a teaboy timer with a microwave oven and a string....
I often forget to get my tea after the 4 minut brewing timer signal,
and then I have to make a new cup of tea because it gets to strong.
I was planning to build a digital teaboy, that on timer, lift up the tea from the cup.
But then I did an experiment with my digital micro oven that worked great.
I put my high tea cup on the edge of the round plate in the micro, that rotate and then put a long extra string on the teabag.
I then made a lid over the cup so that it had a hole in the middle and put the teabag hanging down and put the cup at the inner edge of the round plate, from the door.
Then I pulled the string out of the micro until the teabag was just under the lid hole in the cup so that it was over the water, in the cup.
Then I closed the door so that the string was stuck in the door.
Then I adjusted the timer and effect, so that the teabag was going up and down in the cup, as the cup rotated, in the micro wave oven, my favorit 4 minuts and when the time stopped the cup stopped at the inner part of the micro oven, where the teabag was hanging over the water.
So now I never forget the tea to get to strong.
The cup with its teabag, now always stop in the micro oven with the teabag hanging above the teawater perfect brewed.
I now use a high thermos cup so even if I forget my tea for a period, the tea will still be hot in the micro oven, when I go and get it.
I made some videos on the process.
Can I paste a video link here on how this work?
Regards MagI
