In this post I have explained how to make a couple of simple washing machines using a bidirectional single motor with timer and a simple version using cam shaft mechanism, cheaply. In the first design we use a bidirectional, alternately rotating clockwise and counter clockwise with a pause in the middle: Audio/Video Representation Circuit Working […]

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 […]
Simple 3 Phase Inverter Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a 3 phase inverter circuit which can be used in conjunction with any ordinary single phase square wave inverter circuit. The circuit was requested by one of the interested readers of this blog. UPDATE: Looking for an Arduino based design? You may find this one useful: Arduino 3 […]
Simple Digital Stopwatch Circuit (4-Digit)
In this article we’ll study a digital stopwatch design configured around the very popular IC LM555 in conjunction with a 4-digit counter IC with multiplexed 7-segment output drivers (MM74C926). Written and Submitted by: Jennifer Goldy Circuit Operation IC MM74C926 is internally made up of a 4-digit counter, an output latch up stage, a npn output […]
10 LED Simple Roulette Wheel Circuit Diagram
A very simple 10 LED roulette wheel circuit is shown here. pressing the button starts the LEDs in a rotational motion (sequencing) at full swing initially, and gradually slows down, until it stops to a particular, randomly selected LED. The randomness of the selection depends upon the time for which the push remains switched ON […]
5 Simple Fastest Finger First Circuits Explained
The 5 simple fastest finger first indicator circuits presented here can be used for indicating which candidate was the first to press the answer button out of the 4 participating candidates in a quiz contest. We all have probably seen the famous game show “who wants to be a millionaire” and many similar quiz shows, […]
