Simple Automatic Plant Watering Circuit for Monitoring Soil Moisture
This automatic plant watering circuit can be used for automatically sensing soil humidity and triggering a water pump when the ground gets parched below a predetermined level (adjustable). Circuit Operation The circuit is rather straightforward and uses a single IC 555 as the main active component.Referring to the automatic plant irrigation circuit shown below we […]
2 Simple Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Circuits
In this article we investigate an ATS circuit for initiating an automatic changeover from mains supply to generator supply through many intermediate transfer stages which involves activating the fuel valve, choke valve and the generator starter. The circuit was requested by Mr. Hari, and another dedicated reader from this blog. Requirement for 5kva LPG Generator […]
Make a Simple Class D Amplifier Circuit
In this article I have explained two simple class-D amplifier projects which can be built at home with extremely high efficiency results. A Class D amplifier is also known as switching amplifier. This technology uses pulse width modulation or PWM for digitally amplifying small analogue music signals into high power, high efficiency audio signals. Why […]
2 Simple Induction Heater Circuits – Hot Plate Cookers
In this post I have explained 2 easy to build induction heater circuits which work with high frequency magnetic induction principles for generating substantial magnitude of heat over a small specified radius. The discussed induction cooker circuits are truly simple and uses just a few active and passive ordinary components for the required actions. Update: You […]
Simple TV Transmitter Circuit (Audio and Video Combined)
The TV transmitter circuit presented in this post incorporates the European standard FM frequency for audio and Video up-links. Referring to the circuit below, Q1 is configured as a preamplifier for amplifying the audio input to be modulated. Circuit Description Q2 is fundamentally responsible for conducting a couple of important functions: It amplifies the carrier frequency […]
