In this post I have explained the construction of a homemade 10 watt LED lamp using ready made 12 V SMPS adapter. The project was successfully built by Mr. Debabrata Mandal. In many of previous posts I have discussed the use of 1 watt white LEDs for making high efficiency LED lamps for implementing in […]

How to Use LM317 for Making a Variable Power Supply Circuit
In this post I will elaborately explain how to build a simple LM317 based adjustable power supply circuit using minimum number of external components. As the name suggests a variable power supply circuit provides the user with a range of linearly varying output voltages through a manually controlled potentiometer rotation. A LM317 is a versatile […]
Making a “Helping Third Hand” for Aiding Soldering Jobs
In this post I have explained a step by step construction of a “helping third hand” unit for assisting PCB soldering jobs in order to make the job much hassle free. The gadget could be very handy especially for the new hobbyists. The project was constructed and submitted by Master Ss kopparthy. I have explained […]
Making LED Lamp using Cellphone Charger
A plug-in type powerful wall LED lamp can be built at home by using a few white LEDs and by powering it through a cell phone charger. The power from cell phone charger is around 6 volts at 500 mA approximately. Why use a Cell Phone Charger The supply from a cell phone charger may […]
Making a Pyrometer Circuit
To make a furnace temperature meter, the sensing element is required to be particularly robust so that it is able to withstand the extreme high temperatures generally developed in furnaces and ovens. What is a Furnace The circuit of a pyrometer explained here is based on a thermocouple principle which can be used to read […]
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 […]
