This simple homemade mosquito swatter bat neither requires a circuit nor a battery for the operation. The entire design works using a single high voltage capacitor and through quick charging from mains AC socket. (Designed by me) Introduction In a few of my earlier posts I have discussed how to make mosquito zappers using the […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Push-Button Light Dimmer Circuit
In this post I have explained the construction details of a triac based push-button dimmer circuit which can be used for controlling incandescent, and fluorescent lamp brightness through push-button pressing. Another feature of this dimmer is its memory, which retains the brightness level even during power outages, and provides the same lamp intensity after power […]
How RCCB Works [with Circuit Diagram]
A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) or a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), is a form of circuit breaker which will shut down mains AC power as soon as it detects an discrepancy between the incoming current and the outgoing current, through it. The primary objective of an RCCB device is to cut-off main AC […]
Climate Dependent Automatic Fan Speed Controller Circuit
The following circuit of a temperature or climate controlled automatic fan speed regulator circuit was requested by one of the followers of this blog Mr.Anil Kumar. I have explained more about the proposed design. The Design As can be seen in the given diagram, a very simple concept has been implemented in the proposed design of a climate controlled […]
Using an NTC Thermistor as a Surge Suppressor
A Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor is a device which is able to suppress switch ON current surge due to its initial higher resistance at room temperature. However, as the NTC suppresses the initial surge current, it warms up causing its resistance to drop to nominal levels and this in turns allows the current to […]
Thermostat Delay Relay Timer Circuit
The circuit given below describes a time delay relay system which is used for keeping a hot air blower working under a specifically programmed timing sequence. The idea was requested by Mr. Doug Shadix, I have explained more: Technical Specifications Hi Swagatam,Looks like you know your stuff when it comes to these timer circuits, this one […]
