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 […]

Simple Capacitive Discharge Ignition (CDI) Circuit
In this post I have explained the circuit for a simple, universal capacitive discharge ignition circuit or a CDI circuit using a standard ignition coil and a solid state SCR based circuit. For an audio/video explanation, you can watch the following video representation: How Ignition System in Vehicles Work The ignition process in any vehicle […]
Making a Strong RF Discharge Circuit
In this article we study an RF discharge generation concept also called EMP generator capable of producing an intense RF electrical discharge in the air which may have the potentials of paralyzing and permanently damaging all electronic systems in the close vicinity. The idea was requested by Mr. Nidal. Technical Specifications I have seen a […]
Ion Detector Circuit [Static Discharge Detector]
The following post discusses a simple ion detector circuit which can be used for detecting positive and negative ions generated by high voltage circuits. This device can be also used for detecting static discharges in the atmosphere. Static discharge is normally emitted by high voltage sources such as sparks, arcing etc. It may be also […]
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 […]
Arduino based Battery Over Discharge Protection Circuit
In this post, I will show how to construct a over discharge protection circuit for 12v battery using Arduino which can protect 12V SLA battery against over discharge, and also protect the connected load from over voltage in case of overcharged battery is connected. Understanding Battery Charge/Discharge Rates All the batteries have natural decline, […]
