This transmitter is very stable and will deliver up to seven watts of power with the components and tubes shown. Do not be put-off by valves as they are VERY easy to work with and it seems that there are quite a few valves around. Because no-one wants these obsolete things they may be bought for next to nothing at radio rally`s. If you are not too

particular what type of valve you want then there are lots of valves available. Above is the circuit of the transmitter including the coil winding information. The oscillator is a simple untuned Pierce oscillator which will oscillate at the fundamental frequency of the crystal. A 25pf variable capacitor between the grid of the first valve and earth will allow the final frequency to be "pulled" a little but I never used this facility. The RF choke in the anode of the two valves is made up of 34 turns of enamelled wire wound on a 1/2" ferrite ring (2. 2mH). The output tank circuit is wound on a piece of 2" dia plastic conduit tube. The object is to have as many turns of wire in circuit as it is possible to have on the band of interest. The output tuning capacitor should normally be set to about 10% when selecting the tapping for any particular band. The cathode resistor and 2. 2uf capacitor give quite a nice keying envelope to the keyed output. When the key is UP (off) there is about 100 volts DC across the 2. 2uf so this component must be rated in excess of 100v. Because of the high voltage you should NOT use a CMOS keyer circuit without suitable buffering. I obtained my 2. 2uf capacitor from an old telephone because they nearly always have a 2. 2uf 250v non-electrolytic capacitor somewhere in the circuit. The chassis is built using aluminium plate, drilled as shown above. An extra hole must be added to pass the connection...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
