Transformer OCL and capacitor C1 form a tank circuit, to which are coupled sufficient turns to drive the grid in the lower left-hand winding. The output circuit is coupled by a separate winding. For good wave shape in such an oscillator, triodes and class B operation are preferable. The ratio of turns between anode and grid circuits is determined

by the voltage required for class B operation of the tube as if it were driven by a separate amplifier stage. Single tubes may be used, because the tank circuit maintains sinusoidal wave shape over the half-cycle during which the tube is not operating. Grid bias is obtained from the RC2 circuit connected to the grid. In such an oscillator, tube load equals transformer loss plus grid load plus output. In small oscillators, transformer loss may be an appreciable part of the total output. This loss consists of core, gap, and copper loss. copper loss is large because of the relatively large tank current, and the wire size in the anode winding is larger than would be normally used for an ordinary amplifier. The gap is necessary to keep the inductance down to a value determined by the tank circuit Q or volt-amperes. This in turn is dictated by the required harmonic content. The use and selection of core materials are approximately the same as those indicated in Filter Inductor Design and Powdered iron Cores. Class C oscillators are less desirable for very low harmonic requirements, because of the difficulty of designing tank circuits with sufficiently high Q. Where large harmonic values can be tolerated, the transformer can be designed for low Q, but the wave form becomes non-sinusoidal. Transformer grid circuit turns are large, approximately the same as plate turns, and the grid voltage would be high if grid current did not...
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.....
