In this post I have explained how to make 2 accurate long duration timer circuits ranging from 4 hours to 40 hours, which can be upgraded further for getting even longer delays. The concepts are fully adjustable. A timer in electronics is essentially a device which is used for producing time delay intervals for switching […]

12V Battery Charger Circuits [using LM317, LM338, L200, Transistors]
In this article I will be discussing a list of simple 12V battery charger circuits which are very easy and cheap by its design yet extremely accurate with its output voltage and current specs. All the designs presented here are current controlled meaning their outputs will never go beyond a predetermined fixed current level. UPDATE: […]
Low Battery and Overload Protection Circuit for Inverters
A very simple low battery cut-off and overload protection circuit has been explained here. The figure shows a very simple circuit set up which performs the function of an overload sensor and also as an under voltage detector. In both the cases the circuit trips the relay for protecting the output under the above conditions. […]
Simple Mobile Phone Detector Circuit [Tested]
A cellphone or mobile phone detector is actually a high gain op amp amplifier which detects slightest of RF disturbance from a mobile phone, and illuminates an LED. Mobile phones today being the major generator of RF interference is easily picked up by this circuit and can be seen through an LED illumination at the […]
