and I think I understand what`s going on. the induction coil senses the magnetic field flux around when the phone calls, boosts the signal, and pulses the LED. These types of circuits were meant to have the phone sitting on the pickup coil. The emf from the bell electromagnets were picked up. As Nigel said they won`t work with modern phones. The c

oil at the input of the circuit is supposed to pickup the radio signal of the cell-phone when it is called and it is transmitting, "I am receiving the ringing". But most RF circuits do not work when made on a breadboard because the tangle of wires are confusing, pickup interference and cause oscillation. The capacitance between rows of contacts is too high. Also the contacts are intermittent. I am going to venture a guess. If you look at the 7555 data sheet they are pretty clear about " Guaranteed Supply Voltage Range. . . . . . . . . 2V to 18V". What they are saying is that the chip will work with a minimum of 2 volts. Some will work at 1. 5 volts while some may not. Given that, I would use a pair of 1. 5 volt cells and try running at about 3 volts as a test. You may need to change a few values of resistors but I would give 3 volts a try. That assumes you are wired correctly. That would be my first guess anyway. AG has a good point with RF but I would try a higher voltage.
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.....
