Testing Alternator Current using Dummy Load
In this post I have explained a method of checking or verifying alternator maximum current delivering capacity using a shunt regulator as the dummy load and an ammeter. The idea was inquired by Mr. Joe. Circuit Question I need help designing an electronic dummy load that can handle high enough power from motorcycle alternator. I […]
Triac Battery Charger Circuit
A triac based battery charger replaces a normal relay for automatically cutting off power to the battery very efficiently. In this post I have explained a simple a battery charger circuit using a triac auto shut-off facility. The circuit can be used for charging any high current, high AH types battery with a full-charge auto […]
SPDT Relay Switch Circuit using Triac
An efficient solid state single pole double throw or SPDT switch can be built using triacs for replacing a mechanical SPDT. In this post I have explained a simple solid state triac SPDT relay circuit, using an optocoupler and a couple of triacs, which can be used as an effective replacement for mechanical relays. The […]
SMS Based Laser Security Circuit
In this post, I will show how to construct a laser security circuit which can send SMS alert to owner of the property or anyone else and activate loud alarm to deter the crook, which can be interfaced via relay. We always fear about crooks especially when we leave our property alone, this where security […]
LPG Leakage SMS Alert using MQ-135 – Get Warning Message in your Cellphone
In this article I will show how to construct an GSM based LPG leakage SMS alert circuit using Arduino, which alerts the recipient via SMS and surrounding people via beep, when LPG gas leaks out from the LPG cylinder or if there’s leakage due to improperly closed valve. Using MQ-135 as the Sensor We are […]
