This circuit is an oscillator, and is able to generate a sound wave, a tone. The tone`s frequency (if it`s a high or low sound) is controlled by the variable resistor. The sound volume of this circuit is considerable so, don`t put your ear too close to the speaker on the first run The circuit can be used as a bell, a sound warning, small alarms, simple sirens, etc (leave your application

ideas on the comments section at the bottom). When I was in high-school I made a game as a project for the Electricity course. I made that game where you have a twisted wire that runs inside a metal ring; the goal is to take the ring from one extreme of the wire to the other, without ever touching the wire with the ring. If the wire and ring touched, a bulb lamp would turn on. This was what my teacher allowed me to do, but a few hours before project delivery I built this circuit inside a cheese box and connected it in parallel with the lamp, adding a quite audible buzz to any game playing failure. My teacher didn`t comment on my work, but he spent about 15 minutes looking inside the cheese box :). The circuit is quite simple, consisting of only 7 components, including the loud-speaker (FTE1). The speaker must have an impedance of at least 8ohm (it is usually written in the speaker itself). You can get one of these speakers easily, but also scavenge them from old small pocket radios (maybe even found on the street) or a PC speaker taken from an old PC. The speaker you can see in the photo below was taken from a toy given with a MacDonald`s Happy Meal! It`s a nice speaker, 8 ohms and 0. 25 W maximum power, excellent for small projects as this one. The values of variable resistor P1, capacitor C1 and resistor R1 define the tone`s frequency and are not critical. You can try other values for C1, bigger or smaller than...
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.....
