The Bubble Current Machine: A way to harvest energy from gravity
Special thanks to Mr. Ike Higgins for emailing me this article exploring a theoretical concept known as the Bubble Current Machine. Please note that this is presented purely as a conceptual thought experiment and design proposal. In practical physics, pushing air through a submerged nozzle against hydrostatic pressure requires external work equal to (or greater […]
Simplest CC, CV Battery Charger Circuit with Trickle Charging (Adjustable)
Today I will explain to you how this simplest constant voltage and constant current battery charger circuit works. This circuit is very nice for charging battery safely without damaging it. It has two main jobs, one is limiting high current and second is stopping over voltage. Main Parts Used In Circuit In this circuit we […]
Low Battery Indicator Circuit Using Two Transistors Only
In the following post I have explained a simple low battery indicator circuit by using just two inexpensive NPN transistors. The main feature of this circuit is its very low stand by current consumption. The Circuit Concept We have so far seen how to make a low battery indicator circuits using a 741 IC and […]
9 Simple Sine Wave Generator Circuits Explored
A sine wave generator is actually a sine wave oscillator circuit which generates an exponentially rising and falling sinusoidal waveform. The 9 simple sine wave generator circuits presented in the following article are easy to build, since they incorporate a small number of ordinary electronic components, and can be used for generating an exponentially varying […]
3 Best Joule Thief Circuits
A joule thief circuit is basically an efficient, self-oscillating voltage booster circuit, built using a single transistor, resistor and an inductor, which can boost voltages as low as 0.4 V from any dead AAA 1.5 cell, to much higher levels. Technically it may seem impossible to illuminate a 3.3 V LED with a 1.5V source, […]
