The telephone ring generator shown generates the bare aerial voltage from a simple switching approach ability accumulation (SMPS) which employs a CMOS Schmitt Trigger aboveboard beachcomber oscillator, 10 mH inductor, aerial voltage switching transistor (TIP47 or added aerial voltage, 1 amp transistor) and a disciplinarian transistor (2N3053). The inductor should accept a low DC attrition of 1.5 ohms or less. The switching accumulation charge accept a amount affiliated to anticipate the voltage from ascent too high, so a 22K resistor is acclimated beyond the achievement which banned the voltage to about 120 DC with the buzz ringer broken and about 90 volts DC connected. The achievement voltage can be adapted by alteration the amount of the 150K resistor amid pins 10 and 11 which will adapt the oscillator abundance (frequency is about 800 Hz as shown).
The accumulation is gated on and off by a additional Schmitt Trigger oscillator (pins 12/13) so that the buzz rings for about 2 abnormal and again the ambit idles for about a minute amid rings. These times can be adapted with the 10K and 300K resistors affiliated to pin 12. The advance button apparent is acclimated to manually arena the phone. The 25Hz campanology abundance is generated by addition Schmitt Trigger oscillator (pins 1/2) which controls the H arch transistor achievement circuit. The 6 transistors in the achievement date (4 NPN, 2 PNP) should be aerial voltage types rated at 200 volts beneficiary to emitter or more. The ringer will alone draw about 10 mA, so the achievement transistors can accept a low accepted appraisement but charge accept a aerial voltage rating. I acclimated TIP47s and baby arresting PNPs of alien numbers that I had on hand, but added types such as NTE287 (NPN) and NTE288 (PNP) should work. Both accept a 300 volt C-E appraisement and amount about $0.95 from mail adjustment houses.
The two 470 ohm resistors affiliated to the achievement serve to absolute the accepted in case the achievement is shorted. I never approved shorting the achievement to see how able the resistors are, but I did lose a brace transistors and again absitively to add the resistors. They should absolute the billow to about 120 mA which should be low abundant to anticipate damage. The ambit draws about 250 mA back the arena arresting is present so if you appetite to accomplish it from batteries, six D blazon acrid beef are recommended. It apparently wont assignment with a baby 9 volt battery.

Circuit Rain Detector can be mounted on motorcycle, car or other object that we want to protect from rain. Water sensor used in the circuit Rain Detector Using IC 555. We can make with a PCB that we make the path as shown in the image above by using aluminum foil board or insulator boards.
Device purpose:
This circuit, affiliated to 32 Ohm impedance mini-earphones, can ascertain actual alien sounds. Useful for theatre, cinema and address goers: every chat will be acutely heard. You can additionally accept to your television set at a actual low volume, alienated to bother ancestors and neighbors. Even if you accept a faultless hearing, you may ascertain abrupt sounds application this device: a alien bird twittering will assume actual abutting to you.
Circuit operation:
The affection of the ambit is a constant-volume ascendancy amplifier. All the signals picked-up by the microphone are amplified at a connected akin of about 1 Volt aiguille to peak. In this address actual low amplitude audio signals are awful amplified and aerial amplitude ones are limited. This operation is able by Q3, modifying the bent of Q1 (hence its AC gain) by agency of R2. A noteworthy affection of this ambit is 1.5V array operation. Typical accepted drawing: 7.5mA.
Notes:
- Due to the constant-volume control, some users may consider P1 volume control unnecessary. In most cases it can be omitted, connecting C6 to C3. In this case use a SPST slider or toggle switch as SW1.
- Please note the stereo output Jack socket (J1) connections: only the two inner connections are used, leaving open the external one. In this way the two earpieces are wired in series, allowing mono operation and optimum load impedance to Q4 (64 Ohm).
- Using suitable miniature components, this circuit can be enclosed in a very small box, provided by a clip and hanged on ones clothes or slipped into a pocket.
- Gary Pechon from Canada reported that the Amplified Ear is so sensitive that he can hear a whisper 7 meters across the room.
He hooked a small relay coil to the input and was able to locate power lines in his wall. He was also able to hear the neighbors stereo perfectly: he could pick up the signals sent to the speaker voice coil through a plaster wall.
Gary suggests that this circuit could make also a good electronic stethoscope.
contain a source of strength / reinforcement, but only weaken or reduce the signal voltage there are past them. When used in circuits generated DC Drop Voltage terminal was measured in both legs.
Resistor produces a voltage drop when an electric current flowing through it in accordance with Ohms Law, with different values on each of resistor produces different values of currents or voltages. This is very useful in electronic circuitry to control or reduce both current and voltage generated after flowing through it.
There are different type of resistors and manufactured in various forms because of certain characteristics and accuracy in accordance with the specific application fields, such as the High Stability, High Voltage, High Current, etc., or used as general purpose resistors where their characteristics are less of a problem. Some common characteristics associated with low resistor such as; Temperature Coefficient, Coefficient Voltage, Noise, Frequency Response, Power and Temperature Rating, Physical Size and Reliability.

1. Carbon Composition Resistors - Made from carbon powder for low power / small watts.

Carbon Resistors is the Composite Resistors that most common for use in the use of any electronic circuit common and is considered the most expensive resistors. Its resistive element is made from a mixture of carbon powder or carbon graphite (like pencil leads) with ceramic (clay). The ratio of carbon to determine the overall value of resistive ceramic mixture and the higher this ratio the lower the resistance value. The mixture is then formed into a cylindrical shape and metal wire / conductor attached to each end, to provide electrical connections before the outside is coated with insulating material and color-coded signs.
Carbon Composite Resistors have a low to medium power with a low inductance which makes it ideal for high frequency applications, but has a weakness at the level of noise (high noise) and less stable in hot conditions. Identification of carbon composite resistors are prefixed with "CR" (eg CR10kΩ) and is available in Path E6 (± 20% tolerance), Panorama of E12 (± 10% tolerance) and the Panorama of E24 (± 5% & ± 2% tolerance) resistor type generally it has a power of 0.125 or 1 / 4 Watt to 2 Watt.
2. Metal Film Resistors or cermets resistors - Made of conductive metal oxide paste, for very low power

Metal Film Resistors have a much better temperature stability than carbon resistors are equal in size the level of noise / low noise and generally better for high frequency or radio frequency applications. Metal Oxide Resistors better capability in high waves with a much higher temperature capability than equivalent metal film resistors. Other types of film resistors is commonly known as the Thick Film Resistors made by superimposing a thicker conductive paste of ceramic and metal, called cermet, the alumina ceramic substrate. Such resistors are used in the manufacture of small electronic circuits such as in the manufacture of PCBs for Calculator, mobile phones and computer peripherals devices la. Has a temperature stability, low noise, and the proper voltage. Metal Film Resistors begins with the notation "MFR" (eg MFR100kΩ) and CF for Carbon Film types. Metal film resistors are available in the trajectory E24 (± 5% & ± 2% tolerance), E96 (± 1% tolerance) and E192 (± 0.5%, ± 0.25% & ± 0.1% tolerance) with the power of 0, 05 (1 / 20) Watt up to 1 / 2 Watt. In general, precision film resistors are low power components.
3. Wire Wound Resistors - With a metallic body as a heat absorbers, have a very high value of watts
Other types of resistors, wire wound resistors are called, are made by winding a thin wire metal alloy (Nichrome) or wire type of to ceramic insulators in the form of a spiral helix that is similar to Film Resistors. Resistors of this type are generally only available Ohm very low with high precision (from 0.01 to 100kΩ). These resistors are widely used in the instrument gauges on a Whetstone bridge circuit. This resistor also able to handle the electrical current is much higher than others with Ohm resistor the same value with a power rating of more than 300 Watts. Resistors of this type are called "Chassis Mounted Resistors". They are designed to be physically mounted on a heatsink or metal plate to further remove the heat generated thereby enhancing the ability of a current greater.

Wire wound resistor of this type begins with the notation "WH" or "W" (for example; WH10Ω) and are available in packs Aluminum Cladded (WH) with accuracy (± 1%, ± 2%, ± 5% & ± 10% tolerance) or the vitreous Enamelled W package (± 1%, ± 2% & ± 5% tolerance) with 1W power up to 300W or more
4. Semiconductor Resistors - Resistors for working at high frequency and precision.
Thats some type of resistors are widely used in everyday life, especially in the electronics field.

A very simple forward reverse motor control driver electronic circuit project can be designed using the LB1948M 2 channel low saturation voltage forward reverse motor control driver IC.

One-IC 50W Audio Power Amplifier Using TDA1562 circuit project
For instance, the new device does not need compensation networks to enhance the stability. Also, because of the absence of switch-on phenomena, there is no need for a switch-on delay network. There is, of course, still a need for supply line decoupling capacitors. Capacitors C5 and C6 are required for Class-H operation, about which more in the box. The value of input capacitors C1 and C2 is relatively low, thanks to the high input impedance of the IC. Switched RC network R4-C4 at the ‘mode select’ input (pin 4) serves to switch the IC to ‘mute’ or ‘standby’.
One-IC 50W Audio Power Amplifier Using TDA1562 circuit diagram
When the supply voltage is switched on, the IC is first switched automatically to the ‘mute’ mode and to ‘on’ only after a short delay. The time constant R4-C4 is a few tenths of a second and this delay between the two states is sufficient to obviate disturbing (and annoying) switch-on phenomena. Switch S1 enables the amplifier to be switched to ‘standby when the use of the amplifier is not needed for a period of time. When that time has elapsed, the amplifier is quickly reverted to normal operation. The current drain in the standby mode is virtually negligible at only 200µA. Resistor R3 prevents a short-circuit current ensuing when S1 is being closed at the instant C4 is being discharged.

The rotary switch should have "make before break" contacts which should be rated to take currents up to about an amp or so. For higher currents, higher rated bridge rectifiers and a suitably rugged rotary switch (or solenoids) will be required. If you want smaller voltage steps, you could use the commoned AC inputs on the bridge rectifiers to give intermediate steps on the speed switch.

For safety reasons, the supply voltage is tapped off from the number plate lamp (L2), because it is on even if you accidentally drive with only the parking lights on. The wire that leads to the number plate lamp usually originates at the fuse box. As the states of the outputs of IC1a and IC1b are arbitrary when power is switched on, the reset inputs are briefly set high by the combination of C1, R1 and T1 when the lights are switched on (ignition switch on). That causes both Q outputs (pins 1 and 15) to go low. IC1a and IC1b are wired in toggle mode (J and K high).
The Set inputs are tied to ground (inactive). The driver uses pushbutton switch S1 to generate a clock pulse that causes the outputs of the flip-flops to toggle. The debouncing circuit formed by C2, R4 and T2 is essential for obtaining a clean clock pulse, and thus for reliable operation of the circuit. C1 and C2 should preferably be tantalum capacitors. The Q output of IC1b directly drives LED D1 (a low-current type, and yellow according to the regulations). The Q output of IC1a energises relay Re1 via T4 and thus applies power to the rear fog lamp L1.Circuit diagram:
Free-wheeling diode D2 protects T4 against inductive voltage spikes that occur when the relay is de-energised. In older-model cars, the charging voltage of the generator or alternator is governed by a mechanical voltage regulator. These regulators are less reliable than the electronic versions used in modern cars. For that reason, a Zener diode voltage-limiter circuit (D3 and R9) is included to keep the voltage at the emitter of T3 below 15 V and thus prevent the 4027 from being destroyed by an excessively high voltage.
The supply voltage for the circuit is tapped off from the fuse box. An accessory terminal is usually present there. Check to make sure it is fed from the ignition switch. The pushbutton switch must be a momentary-contact type (not a latching type). Ensure that the pushbutton and LED have a good ground connection. Fit the LED close to the button.The following ‘Bosch codes’ are used in the schematic:
- 15 = +12 V from ignition switch
- 58K = number plate lamp
- 86 = relay coil power (+) IN
- 85 = relay coil power OUT
- 30 = relay contact (+) IN

When the engine rpm becomes higher, the generated voltage of the generator also becomes higher and the voltage between the battery terminals becomes high accordingly. When it reaches the adjusted voltage of the integrated circuit and it is turned “ON”, a signal will be sent to the SCR (thyristor) gate probe and the SCR will be turned “ON”. Then the SCR becomes conductive in the direction from point A to point B. At this time the current generated from the generator gets through the SCR without charging the battery and returns to generator again.

Notes:
The old and omnipresent NE555 can be very good at something it was not meant for: driving relays or other loads up to 200 mA. The picture shows an example circuit: if the input level rises over 2/3 of the supply voltage - it will turn on the relay, and the relay will stay on until the level at the input drops below one third of the supply voltage.
If the relay and D1 were connected between pin 3 and ground, the relay would be activated when the input voltage drops below one third, and deactivated when the input voltage goes over two thirds of the supply voltage.
It is also a nice advantage that the input requires only about 1 uA, which is something bipolar transistors cant compete with. (This high impedance input must not be left open.) A large hysteresis makes the circuit immune to noise. The output (pin 3) can only be either high or low (voltage-wise), and it changes its state almost instantenously, regardless of the input signal shape.
The voltage drop across the NE555s output stage (at 35-100 mA) is 0.3-2.0 V, depending on the way the relay is connected and the exact current it draws. D1 is absolutely vital to the safety of the integrated circuit.Source :: http://www.zen22142.zen.co.uk/Circuits/Switching/vcs555.htm

Description
Mini Audio Amplifier Circuit Diagram with Parts List:
For simplicity, and assuming room temperature, we round this value to 40. For a single stage amplifier circuit with grounded emitter it holds that the gain Uout /Uin (for AC voltage) is in theory equal to SRc. As we observed before, the slope S is about 40Ic. From this follows that the gain is approximately equal to 40I cRc. What does this mean? In the first instance this leads to a very practical rule of thumb: that gain of a grounded emitter circuit amounts to 40·I c·Rc, which is equal to 40 times the voltage across the collector resistor.
If Ub is, for example, equal to 12 V and the collector is set to 5V, then we know, irrespective of the values of the resistors that the gain will be about 40R(12–5) = 280. Notable is the fact that in this way the gain can be very high in theory, by selecting a high power supply voltage. Such a voltage could be obtained from an isolating transformer from the mains. An isolating transformer can be made by connecting the secondaries of two transformers together, which results in a galvanically isolated mains voltage.
Circuit diagram:
That means, that with a mains voltage of 240 Veff there will be about 340 V DC after rectification and filtering. If in the amplifier circuit the power supply voltage is now 340 V and the collector voltage is 2 V, then the gain is in theory equal to 40 x (340–2). This is more than 13,500 times! However, there are a few drawbacks in practice. This is related to the output characteristic of the transistor. In practice, it turns out that the transistor does actually have an output resistor between collector and emitter.
This output resistance exists as a transistor parameter and is called ‘hoe’. In normal designs this parameter is of no consequence because it has no noticeable effect if the collector resistor is not large. When powering the amplifier from 340 V and setting the collector current to 1 mA, the collector resistor will have a value of 338 k. Whether the ‘hoe’-parameter has any influence depends in the type of transistor. We also note that with such high gains, the base-collector capacitance in particular will start to play a role.
As a consequence the input frequency may not be too high. For a higher bandwidth we will have to use a transistor with small Cbc, such as a BF494 or perhaps even an SHF transistor such as a BFR91A. We will have to adjust the value of the base resistor to the new hfe. The author has carried out measurements with a BC547B at a power supply voltage of 30 V. A value of 2 V was chosen for the collector voltage. Measurements confirm the rule of thumb. The gain was more than 1,000 times and the effects of ‘hoe’ and the base-collector capacitance were not noticeable because of the now much smaller collector resistor.
