In this post I have explained how to make a chasing “WELCOME” display circuit sign board, which illuminates each alphabet sequentially until all the 7 alphabets are lit and then the whole display shuts off, the cycle continues permanently as long as the circuit is powered. Overview I have already discussed a similar concept explaining […]
Lamps and Lights
LED Obstruction Light Circuit
Obstruction lights are warning lights that we see at the top of tall structures like towers and skyscrapers, installed for indicating the aircrafts and other flying objects about these obstructions. These lights alert the flying aircrafts regarding the minimum height they should maintain above these tall structures to avoid a possible collision and accidents. Obstruction […]
Sunrise Sunset Simulator LED Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a sunrise/sunset simulator circuit using LEDs and just a couple of BJTs. The idea was requested by Mr. Jerry Circuit Objectives and Requirements The Design As proposed, a simple sunrise and sunset simulator circuit can be implemented using the circuit shown in the following diagram: The […]
Beacon Level Indicator Circuit for Combine Harvester Grain Tanks
In this post I have explained a beacon indicator circuit for combine harvester grain tanks. The idea was requested by Mr. John Bosch. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I would like to retrofit the rotating beacon grain tank level indicator system shown below, to my older combine harvester. The particular part of the system I want […]
Touch Dimmable LED Light Bar Circuit
This LED light bar with dimmable feature will allow the user to adjust the brightness of the lamp in 4 steps, with100%, 50%, 10% and 0% illumination control at each subsequent steps. The idea was requested by one of the avid readers of this blog. Here’s the required working concept. The Design The basic design […]
Simple Faraday Flashlight – Circuit Diagram and Working
In this article I will show how to construct a Faraday flashlight circuit using only a coil/magnet assembly which requires no battery. It’s not free energy, but it converts oscillatory motion to electricity, which can power the flashlight for a couple of minutes. This flashlight will be useful in emergency situations where no access to […]
