This Simple circuit can be used to Guard your bike from theft. It gives a loud alarm tone if somebody tries to start the bike. The alarm disables only when the hide switch S2 is opened. The circuit has little component count and can be easily fixed in the bike. Working of the circuit is simple. The alarm generator buzzer or Horn is activated by an

SCR and its triggering is under the control of the transistor T1. In the Armed position, Switch S2 is closed and S1 (Key switch of the bike) is opened. In this state, T1 will not conduct and SCR and Buzzer remains idle in armed position. When somebody turns on the Key switch of the Bike using a duplicate key, Capacitor C1 charges through R1, D1 and R2. It will take a time delay of few minutes to attain full charge in C1. When C1 fully charges T1 conducts and triggers the SCR. Buzzer connected to the Anode of SCR gets electrical path and it sounds the alarm. LED also lights to indicate the theft. The time delay is added through C1 so that the alarm will sound only after the bike is started. This aborts the attempt of theft. The unit should hide in a place like the Carrier Box. So that switch S2 can be protected. An additional bike horn can be connected in the place of the buzzer to get loud sound. Connection point from R1 should go to the key switch point that goes to the engine so that; the unit will be activated only if the key switch is closed. Time delay can be changed by changing the value of C1 or R2. Hide switch S2 should be kept closed for arming the bike only after removing the switch key. Power to the circuit is obtained from the 6/12 volt bike battery. High current type transistor T1 and SCR are used to handle the high power of bike battery. Use 1 watt resistors to handle high power.
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.....
