Simple Peltier Refrigerator Circuit
In this post I have explained a straightforward procedure for building a simple refrigerator using Peltier device for generating the required cooling effect inside the fridge. How Peltier Device Works We are all familiar with a Peltier device and know how it functions. A Peltier device is a 2-wire semiconductor device having two surfaces that […]
How to Calculate Transformerless Power Supply Circuits
In this article I have explained how to calculate resistor and capacitor values in transformerless power supply circuits using simple formulas like ohms law. Analyzing a Capactive Power Supply Before I have explained the formula for calculating and optimizing resistor and capacitor values in a transformerless power supply, it would be important to first summarize […]
Single Transistor LED Flasher Circuit
It is possibly the smallest LED flasher to date, which is able to flash an LED ON/OFF infinitely using a single transistor, a resistor, and a capacitor. Can you imagine making a great looking LED flasher or blinker with just a single transistor and a couple of other passive parts? That’s exactly what I have […]
Automatic Voltage Stabilizer Circuit for TV sets and Refrigerator
Here we will study the design of a simple automatic mains AC voltage stabilizer which can be applied for safeguarding appliances like TV and refrigerators from fluctuating voltages. A voltage stabilizer is a device which is designed to sense inappropriate voltage fluctuations in AC mains supply inputs, and correct them to produce a stabilized voltage for the […]
How to Make a Dual Tone Siren Circuit
This two tone siren circuit explained here gives out a continuously varying high amplitude sound. Since the supply voltage is not critical, it can be used in cars, motor cycles or at home. It can replace the ordinary call bell. A dual one siren is an amplified alarm circuit designed to generate two different audio tones resembling […]
