How hard it would be to convert the relay in this design to a triac It switches a 120v Ni-chrome wire that is 60ohms. Thanks for any help you can offer. Your right i apologize. The ic powers off of a 12v transformer. However there is a 120v neutral and line onboard that feeds a 12v voltage reg

ulator. Here is the proposed circuit. It`s still a work in progress. Method 1) Connect the 120 volt neutral to the circuit ground, then use T1 to send current through a resistor to the gate of a triac and connect one end of the nichrome to the 120 circuit and the other end to the anode of the triac. The third terminal of the triac goes to ground. The collector of T1 goes to the +12 supply. method 2) Don`t connect the 120 neutral to the circuit ground. Have T1 drive an opto-isolator and have that drives a triac. The nichrome power circuit will stand seperate from your primary circuitry, connected only by a light beam inside the opto-isolator.
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.....
