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 […]
Accurate Speedometer Circuit
Here we’ll see how a simple yet accurate analogue speedometer circuit can be constructed at home using just a single IC and a few external passive components. The speedometer can be universally used with all 2-wheeler, 3-wheeler, even in bicycles for indicating their speeds. Using Frequency to Voltage Converter In my previous article I have […]
