At times it`s really very annoying to see the street lights kept switched ON even during broad day light. The present circuit of an automatic night light can very effectively put an end to this problem. Read here how to build it. We all know how important it has become tosave electricityin today`s circumstance where it is getting difficult to fulf

ill the power requirements for our cities. Today everybody along with the politicians and the official authorities are busy putting forth their own opinions regarding the issue. But ironically at times we find the street lights kept switched on even during broad daylight, and this clearly shows how irresponsible these men can be. So instead of depending on these officials, why not take some help fromelectronicsand find a solution to get the work done automatically A simple circuit of an automatic night light described in this article can very accurately switch ON a load (street lights for example) when darkness falls and switch it OFF when dawn breaks. A single NAND gate, a PNP transistor and few other passive components are the only things needed to construct this useful gadget. The circuit description can be understood from the following explanation: An LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) which is also connected at the input of N1 is used to sense a difference in light levels. A LDR is in fact a resistor which changes its value with a change in the intensity of light falling on it. In the absence of light or when its dark, the LDR offers an infinite resistance and thus the input of N1 is kept at logic high due to the voltage received through VR1. This means that at this instant the output of N1 is logic low, the relay is activated through T1 and the lights (load) connected to the relay contacts are switched ON. With an...
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.....
