In this post I have explained a simple water heater alarm circuit which may be used as a safety device for getting indications regarding the switched position of a water heater or a geyser through intermittent buzzer actuation. The idea was requested by Mr. Mathew. Technical Specifications To be frank i am new to your […]

Simple Thermostat Circuit Using Transistors
The electronic thermostat explained here can be used to control the room temperature by appropriately switching (turning on and off) a heating device. By: R.K. Singh Operational details of electronic thermostat The circuit employs a thermistor NTC (negative temperature coefficient) as the sensor device. – As long as the ambient temperature stays higher than the […]
Simple Ceiling Fan Regulator Circuit
A simple electronic ceiling fan regulator circuit using a triac and a diac is a common type of circuit which is used to control the speed of a ceiling fan. This circuit basically works using phase control principle, in which the voltage supplied to the fan motor is varied by controlling the firing angle of […]
Simple Vibration Sensor Circuit
As its name suggests, this simple vibration sensor circuit using piezo transducer allows for the detection of vibrations to which its sensor is subjected. Unlike superficial pressure sensors whose resistance varies depending on the force they are subjected to, the transducer used here is only sensitive to variations in pressure exerted on its sensitive face. […]
Simple Temperature Indicator Circuits using Thermistors
A thermometer may be required for the precise measurement of temperatures. However, in many cases, an absolute value isn’t required and a relative estimate is sufficient. For example, the consumer may be alerted to the fact that an electric drill or vacuum cleaner is becoming hot, through a basic LED illumination, or through changing color […]
6 Simple Capacitance Meter Circuits Explained – Using IC 555 and IC 74121
In this post I will talk about 6 easy yet accurate capacitance meter circuits using the ubiquitous IC 555 and many other easily available ICs. How Capacitors Work Capacitors are one of the main electronic components which come under the passive component family. These are extensively used in electronic circuits and virtually no circuit can […]
