As its name suggests, this simple vibration sensor circuit using piezo transducer allows for the detection of vibrations to which its sensor is subjected. Unlike superficial pressure sensors whose resistance varies depending on the force they are subjected to, the transducer used here is only sensitive to variations in pressure exerted on its sensitive face. […]

Shock Vibration Detector Circuit using 801S Sensor
The shock alarm module that we are presenting to you can be used in a house as well as in a car. Given its low manufacturing cost, it can be replicated in several copies and connected to different positions at home. It can be also installed in a vehicle where it will trigger a siren […]
Mains AC Current Detector Switch Circuit
The circuit I have I have explained in this article allows one to detect the current consumed by a device and to power one or more other devices accordingly. Indeed, the solution of a switchboard is not always applicable because it is often not very practical. Furthermore, some devices such as computers only start when […]
Home Electromagnetic Radiation Detector Circuit
The assembly proposed in these lines is an electromagnetic radiation detector (power and others) that allows the user to organize their living space with full knowledge. Circuit Description The sensor used for this design is a simple wire coil (L1) associated with the MOSFET transistor (T1) biased at the beginning of its conduction zone by […]
Proximity Detector using Hall Effect Sensor Circuit
This proximity detector circuit uses a Hall effect sensor to detect the approach of a magnetic object, such as a magnet fixed to the frame of a door. The application is simple, but widely used. The use of a Hall effect sensor solves many problems that arise when one wants to detect the opening of […]
Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Radiation Monitor Circuit
ELF stands for Extremely Low Frequency, which is an electromagnetic radiation generated by most of out household electrical equipment. Regarding the effect and severity of ELF fields on human health, debate remains heated. However, I believe there is enough data for us enthusiasts to adopt a conservative stance on the level of exposure we must […]
