WIND_DIRECTION_SENSOR

Published:2009/7/15 0:11:00 Author:Jessie

To use the circuit you will need a wind vane like the one shown. It should have a weighted front end and an air paddle in the rear. Attach a small, strong magnet to the front part of the wind-vane arm. Then, position eight reed magnetic switches in a circle around a piece of plastic pipe and electrically connect them (as shown). Note that the reed switches are electrically connected to points labeled A through H. Those points correspond to points A through H in the wind-direction decoder circuit. The decoder uses eight low-current 2N5061 SCRs and eight LEDs to latch and display the wind vane's position. If the wind vane is pointing due north, reed switch A is closed, sending current into the gate of SCR1. That current turns the thyristor on, causing it to light LED1. If the wind shifts slightly to a position in between north and northwest or north and northeast, without activating any of the reed switches, LED1 will remain on, indicating that the last wind direction was north. With SCR1 turned on, one end of capacitors C8 and C1 is pulled to ground. The other end of both capacitors is tied to the + 12-V bus through a resistor and LED; that means that both capacitors are charged to near 12 V. All other capacitors are not charged because both ends of each capacitor are returned to the +12-V bus through a resistor and LED. When the wind direction shifts to the northwest, reed switch B turns SCR2 on, thereby taking the positive end of C1, which is connected to its anode, to ground. This negative pulse turns SCR1 off as SCR2 turns on, lighting LED2 and turning off LED1.   (View)

PCM_DECODER

Published:2009/7/15 0:05:00 Author:Jessie

Three CMOS ICs provide decoding of Manchester (split-phase) PCM signals by generating missing mark which should occur NRZL at each change of level data to recover original clock frequency. Retriggerable mono MVBR NHZL times out at slightly longer than half of original clock frequency. Signal levels are TTL-compatible. Values of C and R depend on system frequency. Other resistors are 15K, and other capacitors are 470 pF.-M. A. Lear, M. L. Roginsky, and J. A. Tabb, PCM Signal Processor Draws Little Power, EDN Magazine, April 20, 1975, p 70.   (View)

VACUUM_TUBE_TRANSMITTER

Published:2009/7/14 21:11:00 Author:May

The schematic for the transmitter is shown in the figure. In the circuit, power is supplied by a 3V battery B1 and a 135-V battery B2. The latter battery, B2, can be replaced by a power-supply circuit. Switch S1 is used to turn the circuit on and off. The heart of the circuit is a 3A5 tube, V1. Both sections of V1 are connected in parallel in a conventional Miller oscillator. Resistor R1 sets the bias for the tube; the value of R1 might seem low to some because it is only 4700Ω, but keep in mind that V1 is a transmitting triode operating at class C. A 2.5-mH RF choke coil (L3) is needed to keep the radio frequency where it belongs. Capacitor C1 and inductor L1 resonate at the frequency of a 40-m (7- to 7.3-MHz) amateur crystal, XTAL1. Inductor L2 couples RF energy to an attached antenna; C2 is a bypass capacitor. Switch S2 is a telegraph-type key switch. That is used to generate the content of any transmissions you make. Transformer T1 provides isolation from the power line. The isolated ac voltage is rectified by diode D1 and filtered by capacitor C1.   (View)
