When it comes to making an FM receiver it’s always thought to be a complex design, however the one transistor simple FM receiver circuit explained here simply shows that it isn’t the case after all. Here a single transistor acts as a receiver, demodulator, amplifier to constitute a wonderful tiny FM radio. It’s basically based […]

Automatic Generator Choke Actuator Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple automatic generator choke actuator circuit using a straightforward delay OFF timer circuit and a solenoid device. The circuit was requested by Mr. Bob Perry. Technical Specifications I’m in need of a time delay schematic for the following project. I have an electric generator that I can start by […]
Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) Analyzer
The post below discusses an automatic voltage analyzer circuit which can be used for understanding and verifying the output conditions of an AVR. The idea was requested by Mr. Abu-Hafss. Technical Specifications I want to make an analyzer for Automotive Voltage Regulator (AVR). 1. The three wires of the AVR are connected to the corresponding […]
Climate Dependent Automatic Fan Speed Controller Circuit
The following circuit of a temperature or climate controlled automatic fan speed regulator circuit was requested by one of the followers of this blog Mr.Anil Kumar. I have explained more about the proposed design. The Design As can be seen in the given diagram, a very simple concept has been implemented in the proposed design of a climate controlled […]
Using an NTC Thermistor as a Surge Suppressor
A Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor is a device which is able to suppress switch ON current surge due to its initial higher resistance at room temperature. However, as the NTC suppresses the initial surge current, it warms up causing its resistance to drop to nominal levels and this in turns allows the current to […]
IC 555 Automatic Emergency Light Circuit
The discussed 2 simple IC 555 based emergency lamp system employs just a single IC 555 and yet is able to switch more than 20 LEDs directly, it will illuminate the LEDs only during the absence of mains power and ambient light. 1) Using IC 555 as a Comparator The proposed circuit is not only […]
