In this post I have explained a four simple yet a safe way of charging a Li-ion battery using ordinary ICs like LM317 and NE555 which can be easily constructed at home by any new hobbyist. Although Li-Ion batteries are vulnerable devices, these can be charged through simpler circuits if the charging rate does not […]

How to Design an Inverter – Theory and Tutorial
In this post I have explained the fundamental tips and theories which may be useful for the newcomers while designing or dealing with basic inverter concepts. I have explained more. What’s an Inverter It’s a device which converts or inverts a low voltage, high DC potential into a low current high alternating voltage such as […]
12V DC to 220V DC Boost Converter Circuit
In this article I have explained a very simple method of acquiring 220V DC from a 12V DC source. The idea utilizes inductor/oscillator based boost topology with the help of the IC 555. Circuit Operation Referring to the circuit diagram below, we see that the entire idea is based upon the versatile, evergreen IC 555. […]
High Current Voltage Doubler Circuit
In this post I have explained a voltage high current doubler circuit which will almost double the voltage that’s been applied at the input (up to 15V max), and also it becomes specifically useful since it allows higher current loads to be used at the output, in the order 10 amps. Since the voltage doubler […]
Electronic 12V DC Capacitive Discharge Ignition (CDI) Circuits
In the following post I have explained a simple yet enhanced 12V capacitive discharge ignition system which derives its operating voltage from the battery instead of the alternator for generating the igniting sparks. Since it works independently from the alternator voltage, without depending on a pickup coil signal, it is able to function more efficiently […]
300 Watts PWM Controlled Pure Sine Wave Inverter Circuit
The following article which discusses a 300 watt pure sine wave inverter circuit with automatic output voltage correction, is a modified version of one of my previous posts, and was submitted to me by Mr. Marcelin. I have explained more about the converter implementations. The Design The idea was inspired by the design presented in this article […]
