The common problem with many low cost inverters is their incapability of adjusting the output voltage with respect to the load conditions. With such inverters the output voltage tends to increase with lower loads and falls with increasing loads. The circuit ideas explained here can be added to any ordinary inverter for compensating and regulating […]

How to Make LED/LDR Opto Coupler
Ever needed an application where the resistance of a resistor needed to vary proportionately in response to a PWM or a varying analog voltage? Yes, this is where an LED-LDR opto-coupler becomes so useful. The following image shows the symbol for a LED LDR opto-coupler. Any other regular opto-coupler, such as an LED/transistor, LED/FET, or […]

Digital Theremin Circuit – Make Music with your Hands
Named after its creator, the theremin originated in the Soviet Union in the beginning of 1920’s. This comprised of a container installed with a couple of antennas. It did not have any keyboard to play, no strings like in guitars. Rather, the theremin made use of human body capacitance to manipulate the volume and the […]
