A timer circuit design which could be used for turning the position of the eggs in an incubator between predetermined intervals of time was requested to me by one of the keen readers of this blog, Mr. Eugene. The requested circuit has been exclusively designed by me and published here, Circuit Specifications Let’s hear the […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Using Triacs for Controlling Inductive Loads
Here I have tried to investigate a few enhanced triac based phase controller circuits which can be recommended for controlling or operating inductive loads like transformers and AC motors much safely than earlier traditional triac based circuit dimmer circuits. Using Triacs for Controlling AC Loads A Triac is a semiconductor device used for switching AC […]
3 Useful Electronic Mosquito Repellent Circuits Explored
In this post I have explained the construction of 3 simple electronic high frequency mosquito repellent circuits, which are specially designed to drive away mosquitoes through their tuned high frequency pulses. Design#1: Using a Single CMOS IC Mosquitoes are definitely a nuisance for your summer nights, especially when humidity prevails. Electronic mosquito repellent techniques can […]
SMD LED based Emergency Lamp Circuit
An emergency lamp using SMD LEDs is able to generate illuminations with extreme brightness due to the high efficiency of the SMD type LEDs. Moreover, SMD LEDs also ensure the unit will be very compact and lightweight. The following post explains a simple circuit diagram of an automatic emergency lamp using 36 nos. SMD LEDs. The circuit […]
Mains AC Overload protection Circuit for Voltage Stabilizers
In this article I have explained how to make a cheap yet effective mains operated AC overload and over-current protector circuit using very ordinary discrete components. Introduction I have published a few mains voltage stabilizer circuits in this blog, these units are designed and intended for safeguarding the connected appliances at their outputs. However these […]
Surge Protected Cheap Transformerless Hi-Watt LED Driver Circuit
The increased number of complaints from the readers regarding burning LEDs associated with my earlier posted transformerless 1 watt LED driver circuit, compelled me to solve the issue once for all. The power supply section of the circuit discussed here remains exactly identical to the previous configuration, except the inclusion of the “switch ON delay […]
