The following multi-function water level controller circuit post is based on the suggestions expressed by Mr. Usman. I have explained more about the requested modifications and the circuit details. The Circuit Suggestion: The concept of this circuit looks good. May I suggest a couple of other desirable features? 1) To protect the motor from potential overheating (or […]

Making an Adjustable Electromagnet Circuit
This article describes a simple circuit which can be used for pulsing an electromagnet. The IC 555 once again becomes the central part of the circuit. I have explained the making procedure of this simple adjustable electromagnet circuit for varying the magnetic power of an electromagnet. Introduction The circuit was requested by Mr.Jason, one of […]
Making a Time Machine – Concept Explored
Wondering how to travel in time? Learn it with great Sir Stephen Hawking, according to whom time warp may be an option but seems pretty impractical, the reason being the feed back loop which will just oppose the feasibility of making a time machine and the concept using this theory. Are you intrigued by the […]
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 […]
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 […]
