Vehicle Immobilizer Circuit Explained
If you own a car and still haven’t incorporated any security system in it or perhaps your old security system is out of order, you can quickly opt for a cheap yet effective security option for your car or any vehicle by installing the proposed circuit. It will cost you not more than a dollar. […]
Make Your Own Rapid Sea Water Desalination Plant at Home
A simple, low cost set up I have explained in this article will give you a clear idea regarding how to desalinate sea water at a fast rate and in large quantities. The conventional method of solar sea water desalination process is quite sluggish and cumbersome. A simple, low cost but effective idea presented here […]
Regulated, High Current Power Supply Circuit
The circuit I have explained below can be used for applications that require stringent voltage regulations and ripple rejection criteria. The transistor pair are configured such that all residual ripple factor are perfectly rectified. Circuit Operation The circuit below shows a simple way of acquiring a perfectly regulated and stabilized high current DC voltage output using ordinary transistors. The circuit […]
3 Tested 220V High and Low Voltage Cut OFF Circuits Using IC LM324 and Transistors
An AC mains high/low cut-off device will cut off or disconnect the mains supply from home electrical whenever a high voltage or low voltage situation is detected. In this way it ensures total safety to the home wiring and appliances from fire hazards, due to abnormal over voltages, brown outs or low voltages. In this […]
RTD Temperature Meter Circuit
In this post I have explained the making of an RTD temperature meter circuit, and also learn about different RTDs and their working principles through formulas. What’s an RTD A RTD or resistance temperature detector works by detecting the difference or an increase in the resistance of the sensor metal when it’s subjected to heat. […]
