Neon Lamps – Working and Application Circuits
A neon lamp is a glow lamp made up of a glass cover, fixed with a pair of segregated electrodes and containing an inert gas (neon or argon). The main application of a neon lamp is in the form of indicator lamps or pilot lamps. When supplied with a low voltage, the resistance between the […]
Blinking LED Circuit using LDR and Resistors
This is perhaps the most simplest looking LED flasher that does not depend on any semiconductor. This LED blinker circuit utilizes ordinary passive components like a few resistors, a capacitor and an LDR. Meaning, this LED flasher does not depend on transistors or ICs to create the blinking effect. Circuit Description The LED-LDR combination is […]
Sound Triggered Halloween Eyes Project – “Don’t Wake the Devil”
This can be a perfect circuit project for Halloween, although sound activated gadgets likewise may have plenty of other applications. When somebody enters the Halloween house, a sensitive MIC detects the sound vibrations and spins the eye balls of the scary looking beard man, as if it was waken up by the sound, and is […]
