Since you say that with my PWM circuit the current consumption of the inverter shoots to a dangerous 14Amps, therefore I just thought, probably we can solve this by reducing the drive voltage to the gates of the mosfets. This can be simply done by controlling the base voltage of the buffer transistors. And that is exactly what we are trying to do

by connecting a variable resistor across the base and the ground of each transistor. As discussed earlier, use lamp and ammeter set-up with the inverter and adjust the 15K pot until the current consumption becomes equal to your square wave design. Hi Swagatam, I performed that test with the headlight, Amp meter and PWM circuit, it was drawing 2. 1 Amps, but whenI tried to adjust the Pot, nothing really happened, the Amps did Not increase or decrease, only when i turned the Pot almost all the way left, it would kill the wave form, literly stopping the inverter, then turning the Pot back to the right the wave form would come back and you can hear the inverter run. The whole time the Headlight did not change in brightness. My laptop Oscilloscope is only Software, with a homemade probe. Unfortunately most laptop Mics Input is in Mono, one channel. So I cant test both wave forms at the same time to see if there overlapping. Another observation I made, Ive been studying a few other circuits that are all using the 4017 Chip. Ive noticed that none of them have those buffer transistors that are used in my original square wave circuit. What ifI remove them from the circuit altogether. Ive noticed that in all the other circuits the Clock Input goes directly to the 4017, then out of the two Outputs that they are using, directly to the gate of the mosfet through a small resistor. You may try different configurations taking the help 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.....
