In this article I will show how to construct a Faraday flashlight circuit using only a coil/magnet assembly which requires no battery. It’s not radiant energy, but it converts oscillatory motion to electricity, which can power the flashlight for a couple of minutes. This flashlight will be useful in emergency situations where no access to […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Simple Tea Coffee Vending Machine Circuit
A simple tea, coffee vending machine circuit idea is explained here which allows a customer to access the beverage with a press of a button and by inserting a genuine 5 rupee coin. The idea was requested by Mr. Ramesh. Circuit Objective and Requirement I need the water puling mechanism like coffee vending machine if […]
Electronic Door for Pets Circuit – Opens when Pet Nears the Door
In this post I have explained a simple electronic door circuit for pets which can be used as an electronic dog door for allowing only your specific pet dog to use the entrance, while keeping it locked for “strangers”. The idea was requested by Mr. Dave Monette. Circuit Objectives It’s been a while since we […]
How to Design a Solar Inverter Circuit
When a DC to AC inverter is operated through a solar panel, it is called a solar inverter. The solar panel power is either directly used for operating the inverter or it’s used for charging the inverter battery. In both the case the inverter works without depending on mains utility grid power. Designing a solar […]
How to Add a Dimmer Facility to a LED Bulb
In this article I have explained how to make an LED dimmer circuit for enabling a dimming facility to any mains operated LEDs bulb. Update: [Using Capacitors, it Works] If you think PWM dimming control might not work for commercial LED bulbs, then the best method is to use series capacitors, which might just do […]
How to Make a Zero Crossing Detector Circuit
Making a zero crossing detector circuit is actually very easy and it could be effectively applied for protecting sensitive electronic equipment against mains switch ON surges. A zero crossing detector circuit is mainly used for protecting electronic devices from switch ON surges by ensuring that during power switch ON the mains phase always “enters’ the […]
