C1/C2 operating voltage should be elevated to 25V if you decide to go with a 12V energy source. Rule of thumb: the operating voltage of capacitors are at least double the supplied voltage, in other words, if the powersource is 9Volt, your capacitor(s) is a minimum of 18V. Transistor T1 could be any approximate substitute. * Use any suitable r

elay for the project and if you are not tight on area, use any size. I`ve develop this specific circuit to prevent students from fiddling using the security cameras in pc labs in the University I`m employed. I made certain the metal casing was not grounded. But as the schematic shows you can essentially hook it as much as any type of metal surface. I utilized a 12-vdc power adapter. Use any appropriate relay to handle your requirements. A RESET` switch (Usually Closed) can be added between the constructive and the arrow-with-the-+`. The trigger (touch) wire is connected to pin 2 of the 555 and will trigger the relay, utilizing the body resistance, when touched. It is apparent that the touching` component has to be clean and can make good get in touch with with the trigger wire. This particular circuit may not be suitable for all applications. Just in case you wonder why pin 5 isn`t listed within the schematic diagram; it isn`t truly required. In certain noisy conditions a little ceramic capacitor is placed in between pin 5 and ground. It does no harm to add one or leave it out. Extra note: For all those of you who didn`t discover, there is an approximate 5-second delay build-in prior to activation of the relay to avoid false triggering, or a would-be` thief, etc.
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.....
