3 Best Transformerless Inverter Circuits
As the name suggests, an inverter circuit that converts a DC input into AC without depending on an inductor or a transformer is called a transformerless inverter. Since an inductor based transformer is not employed, the input DC is normally equal to the peak value of the AC generated at the output of the inverter. […]
How Crank Flashlights Work
A crank flashlight basically works by hand cranking a permanent magnet motor, which generates electricity for illuminating the attached LEDs. Motor Becomes a Generator Normally, a permanent magnet motor is used for executing a rotational movement by applying a DC potential across its specified supply terminals. However we also know that the same motor can […]
LCD 220V Mains Timer Circuit – Plug and Play Timer
In this post we are going to make an LCD 220 V mains operated timer using Arduino whose countdown time can be witnessed via 16 x 2 LCD display. Introduction The proposed LCD timer circuit is general purpose timer with display and few buttons for setting the time. Once the time is set output goes […]
How Blocking Oscillator Works
A blocking oscillator is one of the simplest form of oscillators which is able to produce self sustaining oscillations through the use of just a few passive and a single active component. The name “blocking” is applied due to fact that the switching of the main device in the form of a BJT is blocked […]
Designing a Powerful 48V 3KW Electric Vehicle
In this post I have explained a few important parameters related to the making of a 48V 3KW electric vehicle using solar panel, including a full fledged circuit diagram for the same. The idea was requested by Mr. Sreejith. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I am Sreejith Rajan a b.tech student doing a project on electric […]
