3 Interesting DRL (Day Time Running Light) Circuits for Your Car
DRL or Day Time Running Lights are a chain of bright lights mostly LEDs installed just under a vehicle’s headlight, which illuminate automatically during day time to ensure that others can distinctly notice the vehicle approaching even from a distance. The following customized DRL circuit was requested by Mr. Jivesh Technical Specification as Provided by […]
Electronic 12V DC Capacitive Discharge Ignition (CDI) Circuits
In the following post I have explained a simple yet enhanced 12V capacitive discharge ignition system which derives its operating voltage from the battery instead of the alternator for generating the igniting sparks. Since it works independently from the alternator voltage, without depending on a pickup coil signal, it is able to function more efficiently […]
LED Tail Ring Light Circuit for your Car
In the following post I have explained a fancy LED sequencing/diverging ring light circuit which can be used as a tail brake light in cars. The idea was requested by one of the avid readers of this blog, Mr. Bobby. I have explained more. Technical Specifications: Hello, I was just reading thru your wonderful article […]
High Voltage, High Current DC Regulator Circuit
We all are pretty familiar with the 78XX voltage regulator ICs or the adjustable types such as LM317, LM338 etc. Though these regulators are outstanding with their specified functioning and reliability, these regulators have one big disadvantage…. they won’t control anything above 35V. Circuit Operation The circuit presented in the following article introduces a DC […]
Rain Triggered Instant Start Windshield Wiper Timer Circuit
The following circuit was requested by one of the readers of this blog Mr. Keval. The actual request was for a rain triggered windshield wiper circuit, but the idea here has been further enhanced with a quick start feature for better efficiency. How Conventional Wiper Systems Work Normally, electronic wiper control circuit involve a bistable for switching the […]
