Simple Battery Voltage Monitor Circuits
The post describes simple battery charge monitor circuits or battery status circuits. The first design is a 4 LED voltage monitor circuit using the versatile IC LM324. The idea was requested by Ms. Piyali. Technical Specifications I’ve a project, if you could help me out: 1. basically its a battery voltage detector cum indicator circuit. […]
Solar Water Heater Circuit with Battery Charger
The proposed solar water heater with battery charger controller circuit explains a simple method of utilizing the excess solar energy from a solar panel for heating water in water tanks or swimming pools or poultry egg chambers. Normally the circuit also functions like an automatic solar battery charger, and simultaneously powers domestic electrical appliances. Understanding Solar Charging […]
Homemade Solar MPPT Circuit – Poor Man’s Maximum Power Point Tracker
MPPT stands for maximum power point tracker, which is an electronic system designed for optimizing the varying power output from a solar panel module such that the connected battery exploits the maximum available power from the solar panel. Introduction NOTE: The discussed MPPT circuits in this post do not employ the conventional control methods like “Perturb and […]
Make this Amplifier Power Meter Circuit
Music Amplifiers have always intrigued us due to their massive amplifying capabilities which completely changes the dimensions of the delivered music outputs. Fundamentally it’s the power of the amplifier that’s always on the scanner and we find folks getting too obsessed by the power rating of their procured amplifier unit. Introduction However many of us […]
Vibration Meter Circuit for Detecting Vibration Strength
In this article I have explained a couple of simple vibration meter circuits which can detect and measure the strength of mechanical vibrations. Video Clip demonstrating the Vibration meter working The proposed circuits are built using transistors and also with an IC for getting a bar graph LED sequence for the level indications. The bar […]
