The problem is how to control the speed of the motor. One way is to use the plane, radio, and speed control with the motor in it. That`s no fun! Mount the motor on the bench and just plug the batteryinto the motor. That`s even worse! It`s hard on the motor and gearbox. To solve the `It`s hard on the motor and gearbox` problem I made myself an Adjustable Voltage Control unit (speed control)

so I can slowly bring the motor up to speed. VR1 is used as a voltage divider to drive Q5, Q5 then drives Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. As VR1 is turned clockwise the voltage increases on the base of Q5. Q5 then increases the voltage on Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. As the base voltage increases on the on Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 the voltage will increases to the motor. As Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 are used in parallel. 1 ohm resistors are placed on the output of the 3055s to make an attempt to balance the load between them. The 12 volt regulator is used to supply a constant 12 volts to the fan when using voltage above 12 Prototype of the Adjustable Voltage Control. Note the 12" of 14 awg used for. 1 ohm resistors (red wire). To help keep the 12 volt regulator cool I mounted it on the exhaust side of the Heatsink. (not shown) I have tested this Adjustable Voltage Control and have found that the 3055s generate quit a bit of heat, even mounted to a large fan cooled Heatsink. The voltage drop across the voltage in to voltage out is about. 10 volt per amp or 1 volt for every 10 amps. To make up for the voltage loss I made a series connector to run two battery packs to double the input voltage.
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.....
