When the output of our multivibrator is low, Q1 (because it is NPN transistor) will be OFF and Q2(because it is PNP transistor) will be ON. So the negative terminal of capacitor C3 will be connected to ground. It will charge from the power supply and through the D1 diode. Second Half: When the o/p of multivibrator is High, Q1 will be ON and Q2 will be OFF.

The C4 capacitor will be charged by the voltage of C3 capacitor. But its discharge through transistor Q1 is blocked by D1 diode. Discharge of C4 through Q1 during next half (that is low voltage of the multivibrator) is blocked by D2 diode. The basic difference between last post of 12v DC to 240v AC and this circuit is that there is a Bridger Rectifier added at the o/p of the transformer. And there are some p-n diodes added so that the reverse current is not allowed and the circuit is safe from accidental reverse currents. This circuit contains the 555 as an astable multivibrator. Diode D1 is added to ensure the 50% duty cycle of the multivibrator. For half of the time Q1 is OFF which is driven by direct voltage coming from the multivibrator. To be specific Q1 will be OFF for the time when o/p of multivibrator is low. Now, Q2 is connected to the collector of Q1. So, Q2 will be ON for the period when o/p multivibrator is low and Q1 is OFF. For next period Q1 will be ON and Q2 will be OFF. So this design ensures constant voltage supply for Transistor. The circuit contains an astable multivibrator using 555. For low voltage o/p of multivibrator, Q1 will be OFF and Q2 will be ON, and for high voltage o/p of multivibrator, Q1 will be ON and Q2 will be OFF.
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.....
