The simple DC shunt motor controller circuit presented in the following article uses a variac. This design facilitates an instant stopping of the motor at any stage with a flick of a switch, along with reversing the motor direction. It also provides speed control for the motor with a high level of accuracy. Overview TRIAC […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Adjustable CDI Spark Advance/Retard Circuit
In this post we’ll learn about a simple circuit which allows a manual adjust feature for the spark timing of a motorcycle’s CDI either to achieve an advance ignition, retarded ignition or simply a normal timed ignitions. After a comprehensive study regarding the subject I was apparently successful in designing this circuit which can be […]
Linear Hall-Effect Sensor – Working and Application Circuit
Linear Hall-effect ICs are magnetic sensor devices designed to respond to magnetic fields to produce a proportionate amount of electrical output. It thus becomes useful for measuring the strength of magnetic fields, and in applications that require an output switched through magnetic triggers. The modern hall effect ICs are designed with immunity to most mechanical […]
Capacitive Fluid Meter Circuit for Sealed Tanks
At times it becomes important to determine the amount of water inside a sealed tank, by employing a stationery sensor. A sensible remedy to the issue is to make use of a cylindrical capacitor concept. One plate of the capacitor is created with the liquid surrounding an insulated conductor, where insulation of the conductor works […]
Single Mosfet Timer Circuit
The following article discusses the use of a mosfet as a switch for toggling high current loads efficiently. The circuit can be also transformed into a delay OFF circuit with simple modifications. The design was requested by Mr.Roderel Masibay. Comparing Mosfet with BJT A field effect transistor or mosfet can be compared with a bjt […]
Detecting Static Human with PIR
In this post I have explained a method which can be probably used for enhancing a passive infrared sensor ability to detect even a static or stationery human presence. This feature is normally not possible with the conventional PIR sensors. How PIR Detect Human Presence I have already discussed many PIR based motion detector applications […]
