ONE_CHIP_THEREMIN_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/14 5:06:00 Author:May

Typically, a theremin uses two separate Colpitts LC oscillators, one of which can be slightly varied in frequency. The two frequencies are mixed together, and demodulated to reveal a beat frequency. If the two oscillators are at the same frequency, there is no beat or audio, but if they are off because of the proximity of your hand, a difference or beat frequency results, which is the audio output of the theremin. A 4011 quad gate, IC1, is the heart of this theremin. Taro gates are used for each of the two required oscillators running at 250 kHz. For the aerial, use a metal toilet-tank float. It provides much better sensitivity than a length of wire. The two RF signals are mixed, then amplified by IC2, an LM741 op amp. Audio is detected by D1, a 1N34 diode. Another LM741, IC3, is set up as an adjustable bandpass filter; still another LM741, IC4, further amplifies the audio for IC5, an LM386 audio amplifier.   (View)

24_V_AT_3_A_FOR_CATV

Published:2009/7/14 5:06:00 Author:May

Switching regulator design meets requirements for cable television systems where small size, low weight, and high efficiency are prime considerations. Circuit operates above 18 kHz either from 40-60 V 60-Hz square-wave source (CATV power line from ferroresonant transformer) or from DC standby source. Control circuit consists of dual apamp and linear IC timer used to vary ON time of 2N6546 power transistor. At start-up, Q4 is saturated and full input voltage is applied to primary of power transformer T1. Current then ramps up linearly until 04 is switched off by opamps Al and A2 and timer A3. Power transistor is operated between saturation and OFF state at above 18 kHz, with ON time varied while OFF time is fixed, to maintain constant output voltage as sensed by Al.-J. Nappe and N.

THEREMIN_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/14 5:01:00 Author:May

A theremin produces audio derived from mixing two high-frequency oscillators and using their audio-frequency difference as the note produced. Another oscillator is used to derive a volume-control signal, which varies the audio output level. Two or more oscillators are connected to short external rod or plate antenna electrodes; these are used as controls by bringing an object (one's hands) in proximity to them. By controlling hand movements, it is possible to create music or other sounds with this device.   (View)

SOLID_STATE_TESLA_COIL

Published:2009/7/14 4:51:00 Author:May

A TV flyback transformer can double as a low-power Tesla coil. The Tesla circuit consists of a pulse generator, a driver circuit, and a high-voltage transformer. Resistors R1 and R2 determine the time duration that the output at pin 3 is off, while R3 and R4 along with R1 and R2 determine the ON time. Inductor L1 and regulator IC2 provide a clean, stable power source for the timer. Transistor Q1 acts as a buffer. Resistor R6 determines the rise time based on the time constant developed by R6 and the inherent gate capacitance of Q3. Resistor R8 limits current so that excessive current will not damage T1's primary winding. Capacitor C5 absorbs some of the back EMF generated in T1's primary.The pulse waveform from IC1 is applied to Q1, which provides the high current necessary to offset the high capacitance of Q3. Capacitor C5 partially absorbs the primary EMF, reducing the stress on Q3. The spike produced in the secondary creates a ringing oscillation. When this oscillation begins to decay, Q3 is once again switched into its ON state. This dumps the energy into C5 and builds the magnetic field in T1. If the timing of both the ON and OFF states of the pulse train is adjusted correctly, the secondary of T1 produces a nearly constant, high-frequency, high-voltage current.   (View)
