The current controlled circuit of a laser pointer power supply explained in the following post was requested by Mr. Steven Chiverton (stevenchiverton@hotmail.com), who himself is an intense electronic hobbyist and researcher. Technical Specifications Dear swagatam, I’m emailing you to ask you for your expertise, and you being one of India’s finest electronics engineers I thought you be […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Single Transistor Radio Receiver Circuit
This is probably the simplest radio receiver circuit that one could ever imagine of making. The circuit is so simple that it could be finished assembling within a few minutes and you are already listening your favorite programs over it. Introduction What are the fundamental criteria associated with radio reception? An antenna stage, a band […]
Match Transistor Pairs Quickly using this Circuit
In many critical circuit applications, like power amplifiers, inverters, etc it becomes necessary to use matched transistor pairs having identical hFE gain. Not doing this possibly creates unpredictable output results, such as one transistor getting hotter than the other, or asymmetrical output conditions. By: David Corbill To eliminate this, matching transistor pairs with their Vbe […]
Simple Triac Phase Control Circuits Explored
In a triac phase control circuit, the triac is triggered ON only for specific portions of the AC half cycles, causing the load to operate only for that period of the AC waveform. This results in a controlled supply of power to the load. Triacs are popularly used as a solid-state replacement of relay for […]
Ultrasonic Hand Sanitizer Circuit
The ultrasonic hand sanitizer circuit detects the presence of human hand through reflected ultrasonic waves, and triggers a relay solenoid pump momentarily for dispensing the sanitizing liquid on the hands of the user. The project uses the popular HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor module for the required sensing function. Using HC-SR04 The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor module is […]
Ultrasonic Fire Alarm Circuit using Air Turbulence Detection
The simple ultrasonic fire alarm circuit I have explained below detects a fire hazard situation by picking up the variations in the surrounding air waves, or the air turbulence. The high sensitivity of the circuit ensures that even the slightest of air turbulence created by a temperature difference or fire is quickly detected and an […]
