The schematic is this fairly simple transistor circuit: Seeing schematics with transistors in them brings back a flood of memories to my college days when I was taking EE classes and I used to know how to do this stuff in my sleep. Unfortunately, that was about 15 years ago, and now a schematic like that looks like gibberish. It was bugging me that I used

to be able to figure this stuff out, so I pulled out my old textbooks. Those were nearly as incomprehensible as the schematic, unfortunately. Luckily we have teh internets these days, and I found instructions on transistor circuit analysis that I could actually understand on the website for EECS 312 at the University of Kansas. Kudos to Prof. Stiles for making this understandable. This transistor is in saturation mode, and I calculated the emitter voltage to be about 2. 7 V. I measured the voltage drop to be 2. 72 V with the scope, which you can see on the right side of the scope`s screen in this picture. It`s nice when theory and practice align. It`s even nicer when I don`t have to show my work.
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.....
