When the oscillator starts up, Q2 is conducting; the current comes from the capacitor, charging it until the voltage across it is large enough to get a current across the inductor. As the current across the inductor peaks, the output voltage rises (the inductor`s voltage difference is reduced), which causes the current across Q2 to slow down. But

the inductor isn`t done providing current, so the voltage across it (and the output voltage) rises as it charges the capacitor. Once the voltage turns positive, Q1 starts conducting, which raises the voltage of the two coupled emitters and prevents Q2 from conducting. This keeps Q2 from sinking any current, which causes the voltage across the inductor to rise faster, since Q1 is not sinking much base current. Once the output voltage is at about 690mV, Q1 can draw all the current from the inductor, so the voltage across the capacitor (and inductor) peaks. As the current across the inductor peaks, the voltage drops, which causes the Q1 base current to slow down. Eventually the output voltage goes negative, which shuts off Q1 and turns on Q2. Q2 doesn`t draw much base current, though, until the output voltage is at about -690 mV. At this point, the cycle begins again.
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.....
