Simple Transistor Diode Tester Meter Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a simple yet efficient transistor/diode tester circuit, that will not only test the quality of a BJT, but will also help to identify whether it is is an NPN or a PNP. The circuit was designed and contributed by Mr. Henry Bowman. Circuit Operation Referring to […]
Alcohol Detector Meter Circuit using MQ-3 Sensor Module
An alcohol detector is a sensitive device which is able to detect the presence of alcohol molecules or any similar volatile inflammable element in the air and convert it into equivalent level of electrical output. The simple alcohol detector circuit discussed here will accurately sense the emanation of alcohol gas from a selected source, such […]
Homemade Inductance Meter Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple yet accurate, wide range inductance meter circuit. The design utilizes only transistors as the main active components and a handful of inexpensive passive components. The proposed Inductance meter circuit can measure inductance or coil values accurately over the given ranges and as a bonus the circuit is […]
Analogue Water Flow Sensor/Meter Circuit – Check Water Flow Rate
In this post I have explained a simple water flow meter/sensor circuit using hall effect sensor and a pulse counter circuit. Referring to the diagram shown below, we can see an arrangement consisting of a circular enclosure having a couple of pipes drilled in and a circular turbine shaped wheel installed inside the enclosure. How […]
