    Dear Mr Swagatam, i am an electronics hobbyist and followed your work on this site for some time now. I have learned many things from it and i like to thank you for that. For my next project i like to make an inverter with parts salvaged from obsolete ups's. I have a 2kva transformer, a print board with 16 mosfets PN80NE0 full bridge driven by 2 ic's IR2110. Do you have a circuit with load dependent correction for me that i can use?

    Thanks in advance
    Best regards,
    Gill

  13. Ajay Dusa says

    Can you post new like Led Propeller Clock or Rotating Led Globe it is difficult but very interesting…….

  15. A.W.FRANCIS says

    Hello Swagatam –

    Your site is very good. Specially for those interested in Electronics & in Building. I have a Little Problem as I am just an electronic hobbyist. I am not aware much about the Components. Can make a Article page on this site explaining in details how to use PCB's, Correct way of connecting LED, Resisters, Diode's, Color Coding of Diodes, etc.

    This will help a New Hobbyist to learn a few circuits building. There are many Ready to build kits in the market and we get all the parts mentioned in your blog easily but are struck when we have to make the connections as we get confused as to which wire has to be connected to Positive point or Negative Point. If we connect it wrongly the project may fail and if the project involves main current then the damage may be Great.

    Hope you get my point.

    Thanks & Regards
    Francis

    I made the circuit "Simple Door Bell Timer, with Adjustable Timing Facility" but it is not working. A few days ago I saw the same circuit in your site with some modification using bel8550 and 8050 transistors with some change. I am confuse that which one is correct and tested o.k. Please clarrify.

  19. Swagatam says

    The circuit presented in the following link is correct and will surely work, although it's not yet tested by me, but I am sure about it.

    hi Swagatam
    i have an ic voice recorder model vr330
    at first it was working well
    recently it always shut off "battery low" i replaced the battery but no success.. i used lm1117 3.3v but also the same result.. it always tell low battery and shut down..
    i checked every single item on the board but didnt find any item harmed
    is there any chance that i could fix it ?
    thank you

  37. Raj Mukherji says

    Hi,

    Hope you are fine. 🙂

    The purpose of writing here is to share with you an idea of a project – to design a "heart rate monitor alarm" which can be made by using commonly available low cost components and which will produce an audible alarm whenever the pulse rate of anyone is found to be abnormal. It should meet the following conditions as well:

    a. Compact and light weight, therefore portable
    b. Consume minimum power, therefore should run 24×7 for a month or two from a couple of AA batteries or a 9 volt pack
    c. Should be fairly accurate in it's performance

    I know there are many such circuits available on the net but their performance and reliability are questionable. The unit can be very useful especially for elderly people (with / without a heart disease), for patients who are bed ridden and so on. When the heart either beats at a rate higher/lower than a set average threshold value, the alarm will sound loudly enough to alert people around the patient.

    I hope that my proposal is clear to you. However, if you have any doubt, please drop me an e-mail.

    Thank you,
    Kind regards,
    Raj Kumar Mukherji

  41. Andre vdv1 says

    Hello Swagatam,
    I was wondering if you could possibly assist me. on the blogs I have seen some diagrams for simple variable power supplies. Firstly I know very little about electronics, but with a shopping list and a diagram I am sure I would be okay. I would like to build a simple variable power supply with an input of 220/240 volt ac and an output variable voltage of approx. 1.5V to approx. 15V and a variable output current of up to approx. 100A. I have started zinc electroplating as a hobby (have sweaty hands and want to protect all my tools) the chemical company gave me these as a more or less dependant on my zinc plating bath size. At the moment the little 6V 8A Ryobi battery charger works for a few minutes, overheats and cuts out till it cools down again. I would really appreciate any assistance you could give me on this.
    Many thanks
    Andre

    Dear Swagatam,
    Searching for small invertor circuits i reached this website , i got a 100 watt invertor circuit diagram on this website which uses
    4047ic and irfz44n mosfet and successfully got running invertor thank you very much for this.
    now on the same lines using this same 4047ic circuit i was trying to develop a smps with higher frequency unlike 50hz above
    this time using irf840 mosfet and ferrite core of size 35mmX28mmX12mm primary winding of 300turns and seconday 18turns
    i am facing the problem of irf840 getting hot quickly and also this ferrite core transformer making vibrating sound squeaking sound of
    the high frequency of about 12khz to 18khz , actually i am not electronic educated but mechanical engg but having very much interest in developing and trying self useful electronic circuits
    kindly help me understand what makes mosfet to go hot quickly and transformer making vibrating squeaking sound
    thanks

  82. Botwire says

    Hello,

    I love your website! I was looking at your circuit "twin or split battery charger" and I don’t see a value for the resistor between pins 1 &3, 7&5 for the LM358 is it 1k? I’m going to make a printed circuit board of this design using photo etching.

    My goal is to build a circuit that will charge one battery while running off another battery and when the run battery falls to a certain voltage level, switch to a charged battery. I am not looking to make an over-unity device; I am interested in experimenting with energy recovery to create long pulse motor run times. I expect the system to eventually die out but I want to see how long that process will take using air coils and back emf harvesting.

    Would this circuit work if I replace the batteries with two 100F 2.7v supercaps? Since the caps charge faster than lead acid batteries, this may help the efficiency of energy recovery during the run time windows.

    I love building things and your awesome ability to design such cool circuits makes people like myself enjoy hours of building these cool circuits and watching them come to life.

  83. Lissandro says

    Hello Swagatam. I was thinking about put a sensor on the gasoline line from my motorcycle tank, near top, between the tank and the carburetor, that would consist of a pair of (innox?) leads like some mm separated from each other. This would detect the electrical conductivity inside the line, in direct contact with the fuel and while there is gasoline wetting it, it would output 0 volts, and when not (i.e. gasoline is ended and the line is becoming empty from the top), it would output positive (12v?) so I could light a warning light on the dashboard to avoid getting engine cut on a sudden. I can quickly turn the valve from to reserve position in this case. So when sensor wet, 0V(0); sensor "dry" 12V (1). What do you think? Thanks Sir.

    Hello!
    First of all I’ll appericiate you for your work.you are doing very good job…keep i up!

    Second I need a circuit which will need the following paramters.
    1. Run the motor after specific interval e.g after each hour.
    2. Motor should run off when there motor is not supplying water in upper tank (means dry run protection in upper tank.)
    3. If upper tank is full,motor should not run.
    4. If there is high or low voltages from a certain voltages than motor should not run.
    5. If there is power failure during startup, than motor should start after delaying some certain time when power restores(delay startup).

    I hope you can help me on this.

    Thanks in advance.

      All these circuits are already published in my website in separate articles, you can search these articles and join them together for fulfilling the specified needs…

      • Umar says

        Thanks for your reply!

        I am very initial level hobbiest and could not enough knowledge to merge different circuits according to my requirement. Kindly guide me some so I can up track on my requirements. Or atleast give me list of you articles with guaidence to join these circuits which you think that can fulfills my requirement.

        You are doing very good work, and your website lead me to stay on from yesterday and i have bookmarked your website.

    Hello swag. I am a regular visitor of you blog and it is awesome.
    I am trying to make a modified sine wave inverter. I have one unused raspberry pi 3, so I though of using it for generating pwm signal and use it with a square wave inverter. Will it work?

    sir how to dim and use 6 or 12 volt batery to drive 50 watt led ( using TL494) thankyou for your attention sorry my bad english.

  107. Waseem says

    Hello Sir,
    Hope you will be good.
    I am a big follower of you, will you guide me how i design 2.5kva gasoline generator AVR or please share if you have any circuit related portable generator AVR.
    Waiting for your guidance.
    Regards,
    Waseem

    • Swag says

      Thank you Waseem,

      Although I am not sure how to control a generator output, it may be perhaps done by controlling the CDI ignition rate through a feedback from the generator output voltage…if possible I may present the concept as a new article.

    Hi Swagatam,

    I made your smart alarm system that a guy from South Africa proposed recently and I really love the idea. Btw, i’m also from South Africa slightsmile emoticon ( the laser alarm system with two ldr’s,
    “Smart Laser Alarm Protection Circuit using IC 555”)
    I was wondering if you would be able to expand on the idea as follows :

    I would like for the system to have a back up battery, so that it is tamper proof and also wanted to know if the same result could somehow be achieved without using the 555 as it is very power hungry.
    Also, if you could incorporate a potentiometer or something so that the light intensity can be adjusted on the ldr’s. I am planning on putting mirrors around an area of 4 meters by 2 meters square for the system and the laser light is quite diminished by the time it has gone around that whole area.

    If possible, could you also let me know what a “kit” like this would cost.

    (Sent you message on Facebook, not sure if you got it, so sorry if i’m repeating the same 😉 )

    • Swag says

      Hi Andreas, I am glad you could make the project successfully.

      I have noted the improvements suggested by you, and will try to update the article with the modified design soon.

      • Andreaas says

        Thank you 🙂
        Another question, if i may…..
        Could one include various RC combinations and toggle them with a sweeper switch? I.e. 10 second RC combination, 30 second and 1 minute on a 3 pin sweeper switch so that you can choose the duration that the alarm will sound?

        Also, which changes would one have to make to include a gsm combination as in one of your other posts or can one just tie the one you made in on the pin three of this circuit?

        Again……Thank you very much for your help and dedication with this site. YOU ROCK!!!!!!

  110. Andreaas says

    Thank you very much. I’ll try it out a.s.a.p.
    What is the difference in power consumption between the first and second iteration of this design?
    I’m probably being a pain, but can you give a breadboard illustration of both circuits. Or maybe a link to a VBB design.

    • Swag says

      You are welcome Andreas.

      I won’t recommend a breadboard assembly. This must be firmly assembled and tested on a veroboard, by soldering.

      Secondly the resistors involved with the LDR transistor will require some tweaked until the desired results are achieved.
      This circuit will not consume anything while it is in the standby mode…

      • Andreaas says

        Thank you, I have made the circuit with both designs….555 and bjt, had to play around a lot to get both working because of the difference in ldr’s. I added a cell phone to the setup with a relay connected to the dial button. Now I want to add a power failure backup utilising the cell phone’s own battery and over charge protection and also add a comparator circuit to both ldr’s, so a would be thief cannot just shine his own laser to disable the system.
        I would very much appreciate if you could maybe start a new post incorporating all these ideas into one circuit. I see you have a few other circuits that use some of these individually, but not one “fully incorporated” system.
        Again, thank you very much for you patience and all your help.

          • Andreaas says

            Thank you, you have been soooooooo much help.
            I looked at the circuit you suggested sorry….I struggle a bit still with learning electronics…..how do I tie this into the 555 circuit, does pin 1 and 7 of the op amps go to pin 2 of the 555 as trigger?

            • Swag says

              You are welcome Andreas, sorry I did not get, which IC 555 stage are you referring to? the suggested LM324 will not require any other circuit, it has two LDRs which can be used with the laser for getting a foolproof implementation.

  111. Deogratia says

    Dear sir.
    Hope all is well with you, i must take my time to first of all appreciate all your good efforts and help you offer from your website,
    i have enjoyed a lot from your website, but i came accross a project from your website and i wonder if you can help do some modifications so that i can use it as my test projects coming up, i am basic but to build any circuit i have no problems doing that.
    i came accross a circuite under auto-mobile projects, the car speed indicator, dear sir, is there any way you can modify the circuit in such a way that, when the CDI gives signal about you over speeding, a circuit automatically stops your engine for at least 5minutes?

    Then as for the other help i will ask you is that, i am in need of a digital clock schematic that has date/month and time, if the digital clock can indicate time in French and English it would be excelent.
    thanks for your understandings and i will be looking forward to be reading from you.
    Nkwenti.

    • Swag says

      Thank you Nkwenti,

      I am sorry I do not have the digital clock circuit with month date, but you can perhaps find through a Google search.

      For the car speedometer cDI controller you could try the following concept:

      https://www.homemade-circuits.com/10-led-tachometer-circuit/

      From the 10th LED or 9th LED of LM3915, an IC 555 monostable could be added whose output could be integrated with the CDI for stopping it as soon as the sequence reached these LEDs.

      You can first verify the above circuit then I will proceed and tell you how to configure the IC 555 monostable.

  112. Nkwenti says

    Thank you very much for replying sir.
    Is ok if you can give me the digital clock without the date, But will the time be set to work both French and English time?
    As for the link you sent, thanks very much but now my question is, if i assemble the circuit, can it be connected to the CDI as it is then the car speed be set to certain frequency? if yes then good, it will even be good because i can use one of the leds to energize a transistor as a switch then start to think of what to do next…
    i look forward to read from you and thanks a lot.
    Nkwenti.

    Dear Swag,
    Please help design for me an instructable UNIVERSAL SMPS for High Power Amplifier voltage ranging from +/- 50v to +/-100v Dc.
    Thanks.

    • Swag says

      Dear Erntec, I am sorry I am not good with designing SMPS circuits, therefore presently it won’t be possible for me to help you in this regard..

    Hi! Mr. Swagatam
    I am Dawit and Electrical Engineer
    I have been working in different industries by giving maintenance for different electrical control system. Now when I come with your site and see your creative works I realy appreciated you and I have been myself ignited to such works and turn them to a business in home based. of course, I have not yet facilities for such production. What do you suggest me to have, and toward degree would you cooperate me to such manufacturing and turn them to business if it is your interest to work with your design works. In our country, Ethiopia, a lot of your works have business. for example home air ionizer would have a lot business In our gas polluted town Addis Ababa.
    Thank you in advance for your attention

    • Swag says

      Hi Dawit,

      I appreciate your offer and enthusiasm, you can feel free to use my designs for manufacturing and doing business in your country, however I personally wouldn’t be able to cooperate in this venture with you, because I am already too busy with many assignments here, so getting involved with any external business would be difficult.

      Anyway I Wish you all the success! Let me know if you need any help regarding any technical matters, I’ll be happy to help!

  115. Claudio says

    Dear Swag, I’m Claudio… ;-)… excuse me… could you imagine other features of inductor?… furthermore… someone thinks that the duty cycle should be in microsec order… what do you think about a ne555 flip-flop with 2n3055 to bear the high extracurrent? Bye

    • Swag says

      Hi Claudio 😉 Could you please tell me which schematic or concept are you referring to? I’ll try to answer to your query…

      • Claudio says

        Hi Swag..;-)… I’m sorry… I’m referring to a simple schematic about the «cold electricity»… in the free energy section…

        • Swag says

          OK got it, yes you can try a IC 555 based oscillator for creating the collapsing the magnetic field, and subsequently cold electricity, however I am not sure what frequency would be ideal for this operation…

          • Claudio says

            …ok.. but for the inductor?… its features is very vague… ;-(… can u help us? Thanx

            • Swag says

              I can help only once I test these concepts practically, I may do it sometime soon and will update the results here for sure…

  116. Dawit says

    Hi! Mr. Swagatam

    OK, I see your concern that you are busy.
    I am very thankful that you allow me to use your design. And I also very pleased for your deep kindness that you are also interested to help me in technical matters.
    I am preparing things and thank you again for your great wish that I will be success.

    with Best Regards!!
