Charging Battery with Piezo Mat Circuit
In this post I have explained a method to harvest free electricity from a piezo embedded mat by walking on it, and try to investigate how this energy may be used for charging a small battery. Normally a human body carries a huge amount of energy which simply gets wasted in our regular day to […]
Battery Deep Discharge Protection Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build a battery deep discharge protection circuit which can be used for protecting any type of battery from over discharge through a connected load. Normally, we are mostly worried about battery getting over charged, and forget about a situation where the battery can get over discharged by […]
Automatic Battery Full Cut-Off Latching Circuit with Trickle Charging
In this post I will explain one useful SCR relay battery overcharge cut off circuit, which also has automatic latching and small trickle charging feature, so now when battery becomes fully charged then charger disconnects automatically, but still a tiny current keeps going into battery slowly. Main Features Main interesting thing here is the SCR […]
How to Illuminate 100 LEDs from 6 Volt Battery
In this article I have explained an innovative way of driving more than a hundred white LEDs from a 6 volt battery. The circuit utilizes the IC 555 for driving a step up transformer, whose output is finally used for illuminating the LEDs. A special PWM configuration makes the circuit much power efficient. Main Stages […]
20 Watt Fluorescent Tube Light Circuit with 12V Battery Operation
This simple 20 watt home tube light circuit will work with any 12V battery and uses very few components yet is able to produce a reasonable amount of white light. The components used are very common and can be easily procured from the local electronic retailer. The idea is simple, the secondary winding of Tr1 […]
