AC_LINE_ZERO_CROSSING_DETECTOR

Published:2009/7/14 22:48:00 Author:Jessie

Positive-going half-cycles forward-bias D1, allowing capacitor to charge through D3 to 14V. Negative half-cycles forward-bias D2 allowing capacitor to charge through D3 to 14 V. Negative half-cycles forward-bias D2 to turn on Tr1 and discharge capacitor. Output is about 1 V less on negative half-cycles. Transistor and diode types are not critical, except that D1 must withstand full reverse voltage of AC line.-R. J. Torrens, Zero Crossing Detector, Wireless World, Jan.1977, p 78.   (View)

WEATHER_VANE

Published:2009/7/15 0:22:00 Author:Jessie

IC1-a and IC1-b form an astable oscillator in which IC1-a produces a positive pulse width that is proportional to the resistance of the segmented potentiometer, R1. The negative pulse width, deter-mined by IC1-b, is fixed. The third section, IC1-c, is triggered by the falling edge of IC1-b. Its pulse width is set by potentiometer R7 so that it is exactly equal to the width of the IC1-a's pulse when the vane is at zero resistance. Potentiometer R8 and IC1-d make up the frequency reference. An astable oscillator (formed out of IC1-d and its surrounding components) provides a clock signal to IC2, a 555 timer IC. The RESET pulse from IC1-c starts to count at zero, and the LATCH pulse from IC1-a freezes the instantaneous reading in the timer. So, U2 counts the time between the falling edge of IC1-a and the falling edge of IC1-c, which is determined by the position of the vane. The timer can feed its digital output to the three-digit display circuit of your choosing (such as an MC4511 display driver). To adjust the circuit, rotate RI (the transducer) to its zero-resistance position (North) and adjust R7 until the readout is zero. Second, rotate R1 to its maximum-resistance position and adjust R8 until the readout is 350. That will give, theoretically, readings between zero and 350 in 10- degree increments as the vane is rotated.   (View)

ANEMOMETER

Published:2009/7/15 0:18:00 Author:Jessie

Here is a really simple and inexpensive anemometer. You can use any small dc motor for MOT1. Meter M1 can be any milliampere or microampere meter with markings from 0 to 50 or100. The parts, including the 1000-Ω, 15-tum potentiometer, are available at hobbyist sources. A three-paddle wheel for the motor can be made with golf-ball-sized hollow plastic balls. Cut two of them in half, and bolt three of the halves to a PVC hub, using 6-32 machine screws. Calibrate the circuit by holding it out of a car window while someone drives steadily between 20 and 30 miles per hour on a still day.   (View)

SFERIC_SIMULATOR_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/15 0:14:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit generates a signal that simulates the waveform of a sferic-the very-low-frequency electromagnetic signals generated by a lightning strike. This circuit is designed to test and calibrate lightning-detecting instruments. Typically, lightning-detecting instruments have been calibrated and tested using single-frequency signals or broadband noise sources, which do not have the spectral characteristics of sferics. This circuit generates a bipolar pulse waveform that closely approximates the main features of sferics. The circuit contains few components. This circuit assembly is light in weight and compact; even a breadboard version could fit in a 1.5-inch square (about 3.8 cm). To ensure that the output waveform has the desired shape, the trigger pulse fed to the input terminal of this circuit must be a square wave with rise and fall times less than 100 ns. To prevent coalescence of sequential output pulses, the square-wave pulse-repetition frequency should be kept at or below 3000 Hz.   (View)
