In this post I have explained a simple 21 watt LED lamp circuit module which can be used as a direct replacement for a standard halogen lamp used in motorcycles headlamp. LED vs Halogen Lamp The proposed “halogen” LED lamp replacement module image can be seen below: Conventional filament type halogen lamp is shown below: […]

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 […]
Automotive LED Driver Circuits – Design Analysis
In cars or automobiles, LEDs have grown to be the preferred choice of lighting. Whether it’s the rear tail-lights or the tell-tale indicators in the cluster as indicated in Figure 1 below, all incorporate LEDs nowadays. Their compact dimensions helps versatility in design and offers the prospective to be as durable as the vehicle’s life […]
Simple E-Bike Circuit [Electric Bike]
This E-bike or electric bike circuit I have explained below can be used as the control circuit for constructing a homemade E-bike, with the help of a permanent magnet motor DC (PMDC motor), and a Li-Ion battery. An electric bike is basically a bicycle powered through a motor and a battery, which does not require […]
Pedal Speed Controller Circuit for Electric Vehicles
In this part of the article I have explained about an innovative method of converting pedal press mechanism in electric vehicles into a correspondingly varying electrical signal, which may be further used for processing the speed control of the vehicle. The explained concept will work like an electronic accelerator, which will increase the vehicle speed […]
High Voltage, High Current DC Regulator Circuit
We all are pretty familiar with the 78XX voltage regulator ICs or the adjustable types such as LM317, LM338 etc. Though these regulators are outstanding with their specified functioning and reliability, these regulators have one big disadvantage…. they won’t control anything above 35V. Circuit Operation The circuit presented in the following article introduces a DC […]
