For basic requirements we can use Square Wave Inverters which is very simple, low cost and easy to make. But for driving inductive loads pure sine wave inverters are preferred. Here we are dealing with a Simple Low Power Square Wave Inverter using CD4047. It doesn`t include battery charging circuit which is present in most of the inverters. It can

be used to power up to 100w. CD4047 is a low power IC capable of operating in either in astable or monostable mode. Here it is wired in astable mode. It works by charging a capacitor (C2) through aG‚resistorG‚(RV1) as in every astable multivibrators. Variable resistor (RV1) is provided for adjusting the output frequency to exact 50Hz. The time period of the oscillation is given by the relation T = 4. 40*R*C. For detailed working of the IC, please refer its datasheet. CD4047 has two outputs (pins 10 and 11) which areG‚complementaryG‚to each other. These square wave pulses are pre amplified by TIP122 transistors. This amplified current is used to switch 2N3055 transistors to drive the inverter transformer. Two 2N3055 transistors are connected in parallel to increase the current driving capabilities. The Zener Diode ZD1 and capacitor C2 is used to provide constant 9V for the IC. When the output at pin 10 is low, pin 11 will be high Q1, Q3, Q4 turns on, current flows through the upper winding of the transformer and we will get positive half cycle output. When the output at pin 10 is high, pin 11 will be low Q2, Q5, Q6 turns on, current flows through the lower winding of the transformer and we will get negative half cycle output.
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.....
