A turbidimeter is a scientific instrument used to measure the cloudiness of solutions,such as water,if you measure the amount of scattered light,you can measure the turbidity. Paint the inside of the test-tube holder flat black Glue a cadmium sulfide photoresistor (R2)to a cardboard disk,and glue the assembly to the open end of the 90°tube Next,cement a biconvex lens (one that curves outward on both sides) to the bottom of the test-tube holder. Power up I1,a 12-V, 1-A automotive light bulb, and hold it at various distances below the biconvex lens. Find the distance at which a beam of light comes straight up the tube or converges slightly, but does not diverge. Mount the lamp and play it on the 100-μA meter; the resistors on the rotary switch set the sensitivity or attenuation. Power is supplied to the circuit by two 9-V batteries in a split supply; I run the lamp off a separate 12-V supply. If you want truly calibrated readings, you'll need to buy a turbidity standard solution, available in JTU (Jackson Turbidity Units) and NTU (Nephelos Turbidity Units), from a science-sup-ply company. In operation, zero the meter to a clean-water blank, note the reading from a known standard, note the reading from the unknown sample, and calculate the sample's turbidity, based on the needle's position.

When control signal calls for power, optoisolator energizes circuit that provides load turn-on at zero-voltage time of AC waveform. If phototransistor Q3 of optoisolator is illuminated after S1 drops to 1-V conduction voltage of MUS4988, triacs will not be turned on. Circuit thus provides relay-enabling voltage window, lower limit of which is point at which all components involved in turning on triacs are forward-biased. Upper limit is nominal 8-V breakover voltage of unilateral switch S1. S2 performs similar function on negative voltage alternations. Load-controlling triac is rated 40 A.-T.

Designed to simulate by electronic means thetossing of a coin,the circuit is based upon a 4049 hex inverter IC, two of which are used. IC1a andIC1b are wired as an astable oscillator, which causes two LEDs(D1 and D2) to alternate rapidly,at a frequency too high to be distinguished by thenaked eye. Both LEDs, therefore, appear to be constantly illuminated. when the SPIN switch S2 is closed, this has the effect of freezing the display,and the LED, which was illuminated at the instantthat the switch was closed, will now be continuously alight. Opening the switch enables the oscillator once more . There is an equal chance of either LED lighting,and the circuit can be used in boardgames, for example, to choose which player will move first.

Design procedure is based on fact that wide bandwidth is required only for leading and trailing edges of pulses. Auxiliary amplifier supplies current to charge load and stray capacitances, reducing standby current and improving gain. Auxiliary amplifier V4.VS provides charging current for shunt capacitance during positive-going edge of output pulse.-J. F.

The circuit design shown produces a Dr Who Dalek voice effect by chopping an audio signal at a low frequency. The best frequency seems to be around 50 to 90 Hz, and this is generated by IC1, a 555 timer. The arrangement shown is not an ordinary 555 astable multivibrator, but a hysteresis oscillator, which frees the 555 internal discharge transistor (pin 7) to act as a chopper, shunting the signal to 0 V internally. The chopped frequency is set by VR1, which is adjusted to give the most realistic sound. The input signal should be in the region of 50 to 150 mV rms from a low-impedance source-e.g., possibly a dynamic microphone-to avoid clipping the signal. The diode D1 is optional, and prevents the signal from losing symmetry, if overdriven. The output signal is fed to an external amplifier. The two dc-blocking capacitors C1 and C2 are optional and are needed only if any dc bias is present on the input signal side. (View)
