The following post discusses a simple ion detector circuit which can be used for detecting positive and negative ions generated by high voltage circuits. This device can be also used for detecting static discharges in the atmosphere. Static discharge is normally emitted by high voltage sources such as sparks, arcing etc. It may be also […]

DC Lamp Dimmer Circuit using IC 555
In this post I have explained how to use the control pin#5 of the IC 555 to build a simple PWM controlled DC light dimmer circuit. The proposed DC lamp dimmer can be used for controlling the light intensity of any DC lamp having an operating voltage anywhere between 6 V and 12 V. The […]
Transistor Multivibrator Circuits [Astable, Bistable, Monostable]
A transistor or BJT multivibrator is a two-stage switching circuit that is configured in a cross-coupled manner. This allows each of the active BJT stages to be regeneratively cross-coupled with the other BJT stage, so that one switches ON when the other switches OFF, and vice versa. This cross-coupling may be set up to switch either a […]
Cellphone Controlled Plant Watering Circuit
In this article I have explained a couple of circuits that will allow automatic watering of plants and flower pots, even while the owner of the house is away from home, and the house is locked for many days. The first method is through a sound activated system which detects the sound from a cellphone […]
How to Build a 100 Watt, Pure Sine Wave Inverter
The circuit provided in this article shows you a simple way of building a useful liitle inverter that’s easy to build and yet provides the features of a pure sine wave inverter. The circuit can be easily modified for getting higher outputs. Introduction Let’s begin the discussion about how to build a 120 Volt, 100 […]
Adjustable Timer Circuit Using IC 555
IC 555 adjustable timer explained here can be adjusted from any time delay 1 second to 3 hours for operating any load through a relay control The produced time delay is fully adjustable and the user has the freedom to set the time period as desired. There are many ways of making simple timer circuits […]
