Today I am going to share a very useful and clever circuit diagram sent to me by Mr. August Peterson. This circuit is a non-contact HT spark tester and timing light tool. It is specially designed for modern cars where checking for a spark is very difficult and dangerous for the car electronics. Why Mr. […]

SMPS DC CDI Circuit for Motorcycles using Ferrite Core Transformer
The circuit presented here is for a DC-CDI which are used in motorcycles. A DC-CDI is the one in which the high voltage (200-400VDC) is converted from 12V supply voltage. Researched and Submitted by: Abu-Hafss Studying the circuit, we see that it has two parts i.e. the smps CDI unit, enclosed in the pink box […]
LC Resonance Calculator for EV Battery Charger Circuits
This calculator helps estimate resonant frequency or compensation capacitor for a wireless EV charging primary coil. It is for first-step design and learning, not final tuning… Calculator by homemade-circuits.com EV Wireless LC Resonance Calculator EV Wireless LC Resonance Calculator Calculate: Resonant Frequency (Hz)Capacitance (µF)Inductance (µH) First Value: Primary Inductance µHCapacitance µFFrequency Hz Second Value: Primary […]
Adjustable CDI Spark Advance/Retard Circuit
In this post we’ll learn about a simple circuit which allows a manual adjust feature for the spark timing of a motorcycle’s CDI either to achieve an advance ignition, retarded ignition or simply a normal timed ignitions. After a comprehensive study regarding the subject I was apparently successful in designing this circuit which can be […]
How to Make HHO Fuel Cell Circuit in Automobiles for better Fuel Efficiency
In this post we’ll try to investigate the making of HHO gas in automobiles for enhancing their mileage by approximately 50% or more, that means a reduction of petrol or diesel consumption by the same amount. In the previous post I tried to put forth an innovative design of a high voltage low current generator […]
GSM Car Ignition and Central Lock Circuit Using Arduino
In this post I will show how to construct a GSM based car security system using Arduino, which can lock and unlock car’s ignition system and central lock by sending a password SMS to car from your cellphone Car theft can be a heart break; it feels like your loved one got kidnapped. It hurts […]
