This project is a simple 12V to 220V modified sine-wave inverter using 555 timer IC and CD4017 decade counter. This inverter can deliver 300W continuous power and around 500W max power output (short period). A very good inverter for uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The driver of the inverter is the 555 timer and 4017 decade counter. 555 timer

generate pulses at a frequency of four times the desired output frequency. For example, if you want a 60Hz output, the timer frequency must be equal to 240Hz (4*60Hz). For 50Hz output, 200Hz is the output of 555. You can try different combination of R1, R2, and C1 to obtain the desired frequency by using the 555 calculator. The use of LM7809 regulator is to protect the 555 and 4017 from voltage spikes and transients that can influence their operation and stability. You can use LM7808, LM7806, or 7805 regulator or any regulator IC available at hand. But take note that the regulator output must be 5V and above to make sure that you can drive the Mosfet Q1, and Q2. The diagram below is the comparison of modified and pure sine wave. Both have the same peak value and RMS value.

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.....
