The PR4403 is an enhanced cousin of the PR4402 40mA LED driver. It has an extra input called LS which can be taken low to turn the LED on. This makes it very easy to build an automatic LED lamp using a rechargeable battery and a solar module. The LS input is.... -
You can save on your electricity bills by switching to alternative sources of power. The photovoltaic module or solar panel described here is capable of delivering a power of 5 watts. At full sunlight, the solar panel outputs 16.5V. It can deliver a current.... -
This device is designed to be a simple, inexpensive ˜comparator, intended for use in a solar cell power supply setup where a quick ˜too low or ˜just right voltage indicator is needed. The circuit consists only of one 5V regulator, two transistors, two LEDs,.... -
This is a combination digital clock timer and solar panel charge controller used to maintain a deep cycle battery from a solar panel. The timer output is used to control a 12 volt load for a 32 minute time interval each day. Start time is set using 9 dip.... -
This almost trivial circuit may be used to charge a pair of AA or AAA sized cells in the sun. I have used it to keep my Palm Pilot and walkman radio running perpetually. This is an unregulated charger, proper charging is achieved by placing the unit in the.... -
Make a very cheap, relatively easy to construct robot which will wake up any time you shine a desk lamp on it. There are no sensors on it, although I.... -
This is how to make a trimet. The parts you need are: 3 Capacitors, a 2N3904, a 2N3906, a resistor(1k to 10k ohm), a solar cell (minimum 3 volts),.... -
In this instructable I`ll show you how to build a detachable solar panel and battery charger for your backpack. This can power or charge all your gadg.... -
A Solar Engine is a circuit that takes in and stores electrical energy from solar cells, and when a predetermined amount has accumulated, it switches.... -
With the world`s non-renewable resources being consumed at an alarming rate, it`s no surprise that when the new curriculum was released, 2 ½ years ago, the word `environmental` appeared in the key concepts. The programme of study goes on to add that this.... -
Figure shows the V-I curve for a typical solar panel (Sharp ND-224U1F), and output power under different lighting conditions. The solar panel behaves like a constant current source at high current, and like a voltage source at low current. The transition.... -
This circuit optimises the operation of a solar hot water system. When the water in the solar collector is hotter than the storage tank, the pump runs. The circuit comprises two LM335Z temperature sensors, a comparator and Mosfet. Sensor 1 connects to the.... -
You can save on your electricity bills by switching to alternative sources of power. The photovoltaic module or solar panel described here is capable of delivering a power of 5 watts. At full sunlight, the solar panel outputs 16. 5V. It can deliver a current.... -
This is a simple NiCd battery charger powered by solar cells. A solar cell panel or an array of solar cells can charge a battery at more than 80 % efficiency provided the available voltage exceeds the fully charged` battery voltage by the drop across one.... -

Charge NiCd or NiMH batteries with solar cells. This circuit extracts the maximum power from a solar array to charge a battery stack. It employs the MAX856 boost converter and MAX982 dual comparator with reference. As a power source, the sun offers some.... -
I had the prototype working on the breadboard, I built another unit on a piece of Radio Shack Protoboard for use in the field. It came together in only a couple of hours, and again, worked the first time (I must be living right lately). This more rugged.... -
Solar/battery powered FSK transmiter regarding power supply section, including battery management. My main goal is to charge battery and supply power to the transmitter over day via solar cells and use battery over night and during low light periods. Since I.... -
The ultimate source of energy is Sun. it is possible to generate current from sunlight using solar panels. These panels convert light energy into electrical energy. A solar panel consisting of a number of solar cells, which will produce a small amount of....

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.....
