The detector circuit shown in Figure 1 (1) is simple and works well, and as shown will not trigger with a 30V RMS signal at 5Hz, but operates in 60ms with 30V DC applied, and in 50mS with a 45V DC supply. This should be sufficient for most applications, and....

To put the relay in tension the 4 buttons S1 S4 must be pressed. If anyone of the 4 butoons S5 S8 are pushed the relay donts tension ( dont receives supply voltage ).
The supply voltage must be equal to the working voltage of the relay. One transistor....

This electronic lock can be used with any type of iButtons you may already have, since the only thing needed is the internal serial number, that's different for every iButton. The command used to read the serial number is the same for all iButtons. The....

This is a fun and non-dangeros project for those people who like to throw projectiles magnetically. It simply works by placing a ferromagnetic projectile at one end of a coil and pulsing some power in it. The trick is to switch off power when the projectile....

This alarm circuit is based on two 555 timers. The alarm will sound your car horn if anyone opens the car door while the circuit is armed. The timers will allow you to leave the car without sounding the horn. To turn the circuit on S1 must be closed. To set....

Finally I was able to control an LCD Hitachi display and a 12-key matrix keypad with only one 16F84 or 16F628. In a near future, I will be able to control a full QUERTY-type keyboard and a LCD display. The biggest improvement on this projects was the....

This is the basic fm trasmitter that I built. In theory, according to electronics, it shouldn't work but works fine and is very sensitive. It can transmit the signal up to 45 yards (about 40 meters) . A sensitive FM radio can pick up the signal up to 100....

Many times exists the need recording some conversations from a telephone line and this it's relatively easy. If we want however to have the possibility recording from two telephone lines simultaneously in a tape recorder, we needed a circuit as what appears....
-
With this circuit we can create a altered sound of siren. The oscillator IC1a-b is constituted by two gates NAND, oscillating in very low frequency. This oscillation drive the IC2, that is a electronic switch, which opens and closes in the rythm of....

This circuit is not open for discussion. Although working perfectly, it was experimental. I will answer no emails in regards to this circuit.
If you are looking for a more serious and reliable bug detector, go to the Countersurveillance Monitor article on....

This is just one of the many bugging devices available on the eaves-dropping market. The range includes pen and pencil holders, trophies, framed pictures and office furniture with false bottom drawers.
These products are readily sold to fledgling companies,....

Voltage is applied to the chip via pins 14 and 7 so that when power is applied to the project, the high and low frequency oscillators will come into operation to produce a wailing sound from the piezo.
The high frequency oscillator is the only tone sent to....

The circuit presented here wakes you up with a loud alarm at the break of the daylight. Once again the 555 timer is used here. It is working as an astable multivibrator at a frequency of about 1kHz.
The circuit's operation can be explained as follows:
When....
