In this post we investigate how to connect popular voltage regulator ICs such as 7812, 7805 in parallel for acquiring high current output from the ICs. Voltage regulator chips mostly have their maximum current output specs fixed to some predetermined levels. Increasing them to a higher level would normally call for external out board transistors […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Grid Dip Meter Circuit
A dip meter or a grid dip meter can be considered as a kind of frequency meter whose function is to determine the resonant frequency of an LC circuit. For this, the circuits don’t have to ‘radiate’ any waves or frequency across each other. Instead, the procedure is implemented simply by placing the coil of […]
How to Design an Induction Heater Circuit
In this article I have explained a step by step tutorial regarding designing your own homemade basic induction heater circuit, which can be also used as an induction cooktop. Basic Induction Heater Concept You might have come across many DIY induction heater circuits online but nobody seem to have addressed the crucial secret behind implementing […]
Build this Open Baffle Hi-Fi Loudspeaker System with Crossover Network
The open baffle hi-fi, high quality speaker design introduced here provides a substitute to the common loudspeaker housing. Its sound emission pattern resembles electrostatic pattern. It works without enclosure or housing for the woofers, although employs normal dynamics for the drive units. The reproduction provides extremely ‘spacious’ impact on the ears.

Precise Battery Capacity Tester Circuit – Backup Time Tester
The precise battery capacity tester circuit explained in the following article can be used for testing the maximum backup capacity of any rechargeable battery in real time. By Timothy John Basic concept The circuit works by practically discharging a fully charged battery under test through constant current, until its voltage reaches the deep discharge value. […]
4 Automatic Day Night Switch Circuits Explained
The 4 simple light activated day night switch circuits explained here can all be used for controlling a load, normally a 220V lamp, in response to the varying levels of the surrounding ambient light. The circuit can be used as a commercial automatic street light control system, as a domestic porch light or corridor light […]
