Malcolm Moore`s schematic is good, but it`s not enough for a dangerous man with a soldering iron to do anything useful with. Namely, what is T1 A coil(s) of some type, but the configuration Also Q1, Q2 values ditto SCRs. I was intending to respond to your query on Tuesday under the ``69 450 desmo regulator` thread so I`ll do both here. If anyones eyes glaze

over, go to the next message :-) Firstly regarding my schematic on Willy`s site: T1 is a transformer with four separate windings (coils), A B C & D. The dashed line is intended to indicate the windings are all on the same core. Where isolation is required, triggering SCRs via a trigger transformer was (is) a common industrial control technique in the days before optocouplers were readily available. To understand how the circuit works it is best to start with Q2. If you imagine Q1 to be erased from the drawing, Q2 is a simple oscillator. The coil in it`s collector circuit (T1-B) is magnetically coupled to the coil in it`s base circuit (T1-A). When power is first applied Q2 will start to conduct. This causes an increasing current to start flowing in coil T1-B and so a changing magnetic field is produced in the transformer core. The coil T1-A acts like a good little transformer secondary and a voltage is produced at it`s terminals. The coil is connected such that this voltage acts to turn Q2 off. The now reducing current in T1-B then produces a voltage in T1-A of opposite polarity to before and this turns Q2 on again. The end result is Q2 rapidly turns on off on off etc. The other two coils on T1 are also secondaries and produce pulses of current that are applied to the gates of the SCRs. An SCR will start rectifying when it has BOTH the gate triggered AND the anode is +ve with respect to (wrt) the cathode. For each SCR this...
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.....
