Understanding Solar Panels
Solar panels are devices which are used for generating electricity from sun light. Solar panels consist of many individual photo voltaic cells arranged in series. Introduction Each cell is able to generate a small amount of voltage in response to the incident sun rays over its surface. Arrays of these individual cells are connected in […]
Using a Fan Dimmer for Controlling LED Intensity
The circuit idea I have I have explained in this article can be used for controlling the intensity of many LEDs through a ceiling fan dimmer switch unit. This circuit was requested by Mr. Joseph who wanted a simple method through which an ordinary home dimmer switch could be integrated with a chain of LEDs for controlling its brightness from […]
How to Make 1 A Constant Current LED Driver Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple 1 amp constant current LED driver circuit using the IC MBI6651 from MACROBLOCK. The IC has been specifically designed for operating high power LEDs safely by providing a constant current output. The circuit includes very few external components and therefore becomes very easy to assemble at home. […]
Very Low Frequency (VLF) Detector Circuit
Low frequencies predominantly cover our earth’s atmosphere. This range of frequency may be created by many different sources which may be quite unknown and strange. A VLF sensor equipment can be made to trace these frequencies for investigating the intriguing secrets hidden behind it. Mr. Steven Chiverton investigates. VLF Receiver for Sensing Lightening and other […]
Charging a Small NiMh Battery from Air
In this post we will try to investigate a circuit which can charge a small Ni-Mh battery by extracting free energy from the ether or air. I have explained more Discussing how to Derive Free 9V from Air – By Steven Chiverton Mr. Steven has devised an ingenious way of collecting energy from the air […]
