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:
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 […]
Loop-Alarm Circuits – Closed-Loop, Parallel-Loop, Series/Parallel-Loop
In this article I have explained a few simple loop based security alarm circuits, categorized under closed loop, parallel loop, and series/parallel loop. All these designs could be customized and used for a variety of security alarm applications. Overview In a loop alarm circuit, more than one sensor is used, each one wired with a […]
Input Trigger Synchronized Monostable Timer Using IC 555
Here we study a simple IC 555 based monostable circuit whose output monostable time duration starts only after the input trigger is released thus making sure that the trigger ON time duration is added with the monostable’s pre-programmed ON time duration. The idea was requested by Mr. John Brogan Technical Specifications I would like to […]
Solar Drip Irrigation Circuit for Indoor Gardens
In this post I have explained a water level controller circuit which can be used for implementing an unmanned continuous drip irrigation to a home based garden. The idea was requested by Mr. Sandipan. Technical Specifications I’m implementing a drip irrigation for my balcony garden. One part of it is to automatic fill water a […]
5kva Ferrite Core Inverter Circuit – Full Working Diagram with Calculation Details
In this post I have explained the construction of a 5000 watt inverter circuit which incorporates a ferrite core transformer and therefore is hugely compact than the conventional iron core counterparts. Block Diagram Please note you can convert this ferrite core inverter to any desired wattage, right from 100 watt to 5 kva or as […]
