Half_wave_variable_AC_control_for_small_motors_and_lamps

Published:2009/7/21 5:38:00 Author:Jessie

Half-wave variable AC control for small motors and lamps. In the lamp position the SCR is controlled by P1. In the motor position and with S2 open the circuit incorporates a feedback feature that maintains a constant motor speed as the load changes. Do not use this circuit for controlling fluorescent lamps, transformers, AC motors with capacitor start, induction motors, shaded pole motors and the like. The motor controlled must have a commutator as found in DC or AC-DC universal motors (courtesy General Electric Company).   (View)

BUG_TRACER

Published:2009/7/8 4:06:00 Author:May

The bug tracer is made up of a simple rf-injector circuit consisting of Q1 and Q2, and a pocketsize, AM broadcast receiver. The two-transistor rf-injector circuit supplies a constant rf signal to one end of a cable. Then the AM receiver is used as a detector, allowing you to trace the wire to its source. Transistor Q1, along with piezoelectric ceranuc resonator RES1, make up a simple rf oscillator that operates either at or near the AM-radio, 455-kHz, i-f frequency. That means that the second or third harmonic signal can easily be picked up by the receiver. Transistor Q2 is connected to an emitter-follower circuit to protect the oscillator from output loading; that helps to stabilize the output frequency and signal level.   (View)

PULSED_MARKER

Published:2009/7/21 5:34:00 Author:Jessie

Crystal calibrator circuit provides pulsed output for easy spotting, eliminating need for turning marker on and off repeatedly to identify it in crowded band. With values shown, switching rate is about 2 Hz. When marker is found, placing S1 in CW position keeps it on for zero-beating calibrator output more accurately. Reducing value of C1 increases switching speed of U3, thus increasing pulse rate. LED indicates either pulsed or CW output. ICs are conventional types used in crystal calibrators.-R. G. Brunner, Crystal Calibrator Has Pulsed Output, QST, Nov. 1977, p 45.   (View)

CENTRAL_IMAGE_CANCELLER

Published:2009/7/8 4:05:00 Author:May

The circuit allows you to eliminate the vocal potion of an audio signal, while leaving the instrumental portion. The circuit mixes two channels that must be 180° out of phase, so the signals that form the center-stereo image is canceled out. Those signals usually appear in phase. Resistor R3 biases the noninverting input of UI from a center tap formed by resistors RI and R4, and capacitor C3. Resistor R4, capacitor C3, and potentiometer R6 form a negative-feedback circuit that establishes the closed-loop voltage gain of UI at unity. The signal is inverted between the input and output.   (View)

TRACER_RECEIVER

Published:2009/7/8 4:04:00 Author:May

The tracer receiver is a stereo audio amplifier/detector circuit operating near 1 kHz. Inductors L1 and L2-hand-wound coils, consisting of 200 turns of #26 wire on 2-inch ferrite cores- are tuned to the operating frequency of the amplifier/detector. The received signal strength of each individual receiver is indicated by an LED. The audio output of the receiver is fed to a stereo headphone. That dual-receiver scheme helps in locating and tracking the hidden wire or cable by giving a directional output that indicates the cable's path. The 1-kHz signal is picked up by L1 and coupled to the input of op amp U1a, which provides a gain of about 100 dB. The output of op amp U1a is fed through volume-control potentiometer R7 to the input of U1b, which magnifies the already amplified signal 100 times more. That puts the maximum gain of the receiver at about 10,000 dB. The output of U1b follows two paths: in the first path, the signal is couple through C9 and R13 to J1, and is used to drive one half of a stereo headphone. In the other path, the signal is fed through a voltage doubling/detector circuit-consisting of Dl, D2, C11, and C13-that converts the amplified 1-kHz signal to the dc voltage that's used to drive Q1. When Q1 is turned on, LED1 lights, indicating a received signal.   (View)

IF_FILTER_FOR_CW

Published:2009/7/8 4:00:00 Author:May

Circuit acts Iike variable filter having adjustable bandwidth, with enough gain to compensate for insertion Ioss in CW receiver. Used to isolate weak CW signals despite noise and interference, as required in lowpower amateur work. FET input is directly coupled to collector of HEP55 serving as Q.multiplier regenerative amplifier. Transformer L1-L3 provides feedback. Filter is connected in serieswith input end of IF strip,following 1.2-kHz mechanical filter. When two CW signals are received, one can be eliminated by adjusting CA to recenter passband of filter. Current drain of 6 mA can be supplied by two 6-V batteries. For 455-kHz IF, C is 470 pF, CA is 7-45 pF, and L1-L2-L3 are 12-115-24 turns No.32 enamel on Amidon T44-15 core.-S. M.

TOUCH_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/8 3:54:00 Author:May

This touch-actuated switch stays on as long as you keep your finger on the touch plate. R1 sets the input impedance to a high 22 M Ω. Q1 picks up stray signals coupled through your body to the touch plate and amplifies them to tum on Q2, which tums on lamp drivers Q3 and Q4. Lamp I1 is any small 12-V lamp, such as a No. 53-12 V 120 mA. R4 and C1 add a small amount of hysteresis (delay) to keep the light from constantly flickering. A relay can be used for I1.   (View)

455_kHz_WITH_PRODUCT_DETECTOR

LINE_HUM_TOUCH_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/8 3:47:00 Author:May

The monostable period is set for about 1 second, as is the usual case. The induced line hum comes through C2, providing a continuous string of trigger pulses. The output becomes low for about 10 ms per second as the monostable times out and then retriggers. Diode Dl and capacitor C3 buffer the relay so it doesn't chatter on those 10-ms pulses. Resistor R2 sets the sensitivity.The relay energizes when the plate is touched and de-energizes, up to one second after the finger is removed. The delay is a function of when the monostable last retriggered.   (View)

TWO_TERMINAL_TOUCH_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/8 3:43:00 Author:May

This circuit requires the bridging of two circuits to activate the electronic switch. That circuit does not require a 60-Hz field to operate and can be battery or ac powefed. The two-pickup terminals can be made from most any clean metal; they should be about the size of a penny. The input circuitry of the two-terminal touch switch is a high-gain Darlington amplifier that multiplies the small bridging current to a value of sufficient magnitude to turn on Q3, supplying power to LED1. If a quick on and off switching time is desired, the value of C1 should be very small; if a long on-time period is required, the value of C1 can be increased.   (View)
