An H-bridge is one very useful circuit arrangement which lets us reverse the polarity across a load, so now with one DC supply we can make current flow through the load in both directions alternately. Because of that, these H-bridge circuits get used in many places like DC to AC inverter circuits, transformer drivers, bidirectional […]

Stepper Motor Driver Circuit using IC 555
In this project we are going learn how to make a simple unipolar stepper motor driver circuit using 555 timer IC. Apart from 555 timer we also need IC CD 4017 which is a decade counter IC. By Ankit Negi Any unipolar motor can be connected to this circuit for performing specific task, though you […]
2 Simple Washing Machine Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained how to make a couple of simple washing machines using a bidirectional single motor with timer and a simple version using cam shaft mechanism, cheaply. In the first design we use a bidirectional, alternately rotating clockwise and counter clockwise with a pause in the middle: Audio/Video Representation Circuit Working […]
How to Make a 3 Phase VFD Circuit
The presented 3 phase VFD circuit (designed by me) can be used for controlling the speed of any three phase brushed AC motor or even a brushless AC motor. The idea was requested by Mr. Tom Using the VFD The proposed 3-phase VFD circuit can be universally applied for most 3-phase AC motors where the […]
3 Phase Induction Motor Speed Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained the making of a simple 3 phase induction motor speed controller circuit, which can be also applied for a single phase induction motor or literally for any type of AC motor. When it comes to controlling the speed of induction motors, normally matrix converters are employed, involving many complex […]
