Earthquake Sensor Circuit [Seismic Sensor]
The article shows an earthquake sensor circuit idea which incorporates an innovative way of detecting the minutest of shocks caused by a possible earthquake tremor. The circuit is so sensitive that it is able to detect tremor of 4 on the Richter scale, yet remains unaffected to loud sounds or irrelevant bangs or noises. Introduction […]
IC 556 Pure Sine Wave Inverter Circuit
In the following post I have explained a pure sine wave inverter circuit using the IC 556 which forms the main sine wave processor device in the circuit. How it Works The presented design actually produces a modified sine wave output, but the waveform is highly processed and constitutes an exact equivalent of a sinusoidal […]
Timer based Water Level Controller Circuit
The explained circuit of a water level controller circuit is based on a adjustable timer circuit whose time delay is first adjusted to match the filling time of the tank, as the the tank fills, the timer delay also simultaneously lapses and its output switches OFF the water pump. Circuit Specifications Actually the circuit was […]
How to Build a 400 Watt High Power Inverter Circuit
Interested to make your own power inverter with built in charger? A simple 400 watt inverter circuit with charger that can be very easily built and optimized has been provided in this article. Read the complete discussion through neat illustrations. Introduction A massive 400 watts power inverter with built in charger circuit has been thoroughly […]
Designing a Grid-Tie Inverter Circuit
A grid tie inverter works quite like a conventional inverter, however the power output from such inverter is fed and tied with the AC mains from the utility grid supply. As long as the mains AC supply is present, the inverter contributes its power to the existing grid mains supply, and stops the process when […]
