This transmitter has a built-in distortion effects unit and a touch switch to switch effects off and on. The circuit operates from a 9-V battery. IC1-a and IC1-b are used in the effects circuitry. IC1-d is an input preamp and IC2 is a quad analog switch to handle audio switching. Q1 acts as a varactor diode modulator while IC-4 is an 88- to 108-MHz FM oscillator. (View)

Depending on the value of C and the resistance of the relay coil, and the difference in pull-in and drop-out voltage, this circuit will oscillate at a low frequency. R limits in rush current to capacitor C to a level that the relay contacts can handle. Typically, for a 400-Ω relay, R can be 20 to 440 ohms.Flash rate is approximately 1 cycle/second, depending on the relay. (View)

Q2 is held cut off since Q1 normally is conducting. When the touch plate is contacted by a large object (human body, etc.), stray 60-Hz pickup is rectified by D1 and D2, and produces a negative voltage across R2-C2 and the gate of Q1. Q1 cuts off, causes Q2 to conduct, and the output goes low. (View)

C is a large capacitor that has a charge time of RSUPPLY C, assuming RSUPPLY <Rcoil, The discharge time will be Rcoil C neglecting relay coil inductance. With C = 10,000 μF and Rcoil 500 Ω, a release time constant of 5 seconds might be obtained. Many relays will hold in until the coil current decays to 25% of the pull-in current so that the actual time constant depends on the relay holding current. (View)

This radio uses an untuned RF stage to boost the signal voltage up to the linear portion of the crystal diode's characteristic curve. The circuit's distortion and wide bandpass and a good-quality transformer make for a great-sounding AM radio. L1 is a winding of #22 enamelled wire 2 long on a 2 diameter plastic pipe. T1 is a tube-type radio output transformer, rated at 2000 Ω to the speaker voice coil. (View)

This circuit can detect smoke and a number of gases (CO, CO2, methane, coal gas and others) with a 10 ppm sensitivity. It uses a heated surface semiconductor sensor. Detection occurs when the gas concentration in-crease causes a decrease of the sensor element internal resistance. The switch in series with the SCR is used for resetting the alarm. (View)
