FM_LIGHT_BEAM_TRANSMITTER

Published:2009/6/16 23:52:00 Author:May

This transmitter uses two-stage amplifier Q1/Q2 to frequency modulate an NE555 (configured as a VCO) operating at about 50 kHz. The resultant FM-modulated pulse train is converted to light pulses via LED1 through LED4, driven by Q3 and Q4.   (View)

SIMPLE_LIE_DETECTOR

Published:2009/6/16 23:46:00 Author:May

The circuit uses a two-transistor direct-coupled oscillator that has a frequency determined by C1, R2, and the (skin) resistance across the touch pads. Since C1 and R2 are fixed values, only the skin resistance across the touch pads can vary the sound of the oscillator. To sustain oscillations, C1 feeds a portion of the output from Q2 back to the input of Q1 through resistor R1.Transistor Ql is an npn type and transistor Q2 is a pnp type. The output of Q2 is fed into a small speaker. The circuit relies on the fact that the human skin conducts electricity.

LASER_POWER_SUPPLY

This supply generates an initial high voltage for ignition purposes. After ignition, the supply gen-erates about 1300 to 1500 V. If a higher ignition voltage (than the 6000 V supplied) is necessary, more multiplier stages can be added to D5 and D8.   (View)

FANTASTIC_SIMULATED_LASER

Published:2009/6/16 23:37:00 Author:May

The circuit uses a 555 timer IC to power an ultrabright LED. The output is a pulsing red light that can be projected using lenses. An ultrabright Stanley LED, capable of 300-millicandle output, is tied to pin 3 of the 555 timer IC. That IC has been configured as an astable multivibrator. The fre-quency of this multivibrator is controlled by R1, R2, C1, and P1. You can vary the frequency by ad-justing P1, which changes the output from a slow blinking to a fast pulsating light. Resistor R3 is used to limit the current flowing into the circuit to a safe value, to prevent the LED and the IC from bum-ing out. Switch S1 applies power to the circuit when its button is pressed.   (View)

Sequential_Flasher

Published:2009/6/16 23:36:00 Author:May

A 555 timer, IC1, drives a 4017 CMOS decade counter. Each of the 4017's first four outputs drives a CA3079 zero-voltage switch. Pin 9 of the CA3079 is used to inhibit output from pin 4, thereby disabling the string of pulses that the IC normally delivers. Those pulses occur every 8.3 ms, i.e., at a rate of 120 Hz. Each pulse has a width of 120 μs. Because of the action of the CA3079, the lamps connected to the triacs turn on and off near the zero crossing of the ac waveform. Switching at that point increases lamp life by reducing an inrush of current that would happen if the lamp were turned on near the high point of the ac waveform. In ad-dition, switching at the zero crossing reduces radio frequency interference (RFI) considerably. Cau-tion: The CA3079s are driven directly from the 117-Vac power line, so use care.   (View)

EFFICIENT_LASER_SUPPLY

Published:2009/6/16 23:32:00 Author:May

Driving Helium-Neon Lasers can be simplified considerably using this power-supply configura-tion. When power is applied, the laser doesn't conduct and the voltage across the 190-Ω resistor is zero. However, a resonant circuit and a voltage tripler then produces over 10 kV to turn on the laser.   (View)
