From what I understand, an SCR is like a diode that can either be turned on to act like an everyday diode, and it will only turn back off when the power is cut. With this understanding, will this circuit work if not, can you explain even if itdoesn`twork as a tesla coil, will it work as a fence charger (with a triggertransformeror ignition coil) So then what am I misunderstanding, when power is cut to the SCR itself,

when there is no voltage across it. (without the capacitor) and no current flows. I don`t mean the entire circuit. if they can be turned off while current is flowing, how is it done Just with a brief "blackout" of power I read somewhere where that older SCR`s require backwards current at the gate to turn them off again. (also, are SCR`s and Thyristors the same exact thing ) Be careful talking of "power", SCR (same as a thryistor) are current controlling devices. If you can very briefly blip the anode to cathode current to zero, then they turn off. Its back in the mists of time I actually studied these things, but see if you can find schematics for the McMurray inverter, if you`re interested in SCR commutation. I took apart a switching power supply and inside was an MCR72. I played around with the connections and I had it wired up to an LED. I then touched the gate to +v rail, and it turns on, and when I touched it to ground, it turns off. I though it is not possible to turn these off. Con you explain this please Currently I am trying to make a low voltage version of the above circuit. only problem is that I need something that will only conduct after reaching the specified threshold voltage. Will a zener diode work I tried out the SCR on 9V with a flashlight bulb, and I wasn`t able to turn it off by touching the gate to ground. but shouldn`t that allow electricity to flow from the first PNP transistor to ground instead of...
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.....
