I will be using the bike eventually for quite long trips, off roading at night and dual sport riding, so the bike needs good headlamps, indicators and an accessory socket. To this end, I fitted the bike with a 12v 10AH battery, on two custom lugs welded to the sub frame. The battery connects to the regulator rectifier green and black wires in place of the condenser up near the headstock. As far as I can tell so far, the battery

charges from the alternator ok, as it hasn`t run flat yet. The stator is an upgraded 200w 3 phase one. The headlamp I am using is a trailtech x2, with separate lamps for main and dipped beam. I`m running a 50w dipped halogen, and an HID main beam, so I have a common ground for both wired to the battery negative, and the wires for HI and LO are wired through SPST relays running the positve direct to the battery. The relays are switched via the handlebar switch, so that the high current circuit for the lights is not part of the original wiring harness. To make the relays switch on or off, they needed a source of power from the headlight switch, and this source needed to be 12v dc and available when the bike was not running, so I took the White/Yellow wire that originally runs from the alternator, through the regulator, and into the handlebar switch, and disconnected it. I then spliced the wire from the switch into a +12v DC wire from the battery. This system in itself works, in that with the bike not running, I can turn the lights on, and selecting HI or LO on the switchgear triggers the relays, and changes the headlight beam. I have led indicators fitted, with the correct relay, and before I did any of this, and the headlight was powered by AC from the stator, the indicators worked perfectly. However once I had done all this, the indicators stopped working when the headlight was on. If i turned the headlight off with the...
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.....
