Bipolar power supply from unipolar. Circuitry engineeringIn the process of construction of various electronic devices, there are often situations when a bipolar power supply is required to power them. In case there is a transformer with one step-down winding, it is not difficult to make a source with bipolar power supply. Moreover, some of the circuits are also constant-voltage regulators. Here is one of the examples of a bipolar constant-voltage regulator. The circuit consists of 3 simple voltage regulators. Alternating current voltage is applied on the diode bridge, the plus of which comes to the collector of the transistor VT2, from its emitter, relative to minus, the constant voltage of +12 V is removed. Consequently, the voltage difference between the collector and the emitter of the transistor VT2 is 15 V. Therefore, this voltage is used by the transistor VT1, and on its emitter, relative to the emitter of the transistor VT2, a constant voltage of +12 V is also received, and relative to the minus, the voltage is +24 V. Now we have a plus, total and a minus. But imagine a situation when there will occur a short circuit of the output of the circuit-wise high-side, in other words, when the emitter VT2 will be closed to the emitter VT1, namely, there will be +24 V on the common wire, relative to minus. This can result in the bringing out of operation the power supply system. To avoid this, a stabilizer is set according to the minus on the transistor VT3. The circuit has ...

Modern automotive pressure sensors are of up most importance, whether gasoline or diesel engines. Did you know that a faulty HVAC or air conditioning high pressure sensor can make the engine not start? It so happens that on some vehicles (Cadillacs) the high pressure sensor is connected to the other sensor voltage reference line. So a shorted sensor will render the crank sensor inoperable. Get the scoop here on pressure sensors. They're used in injection systems, transmission, HVAC and many other systems. Presented using advanced software CG animation technology to help you understand. Part of our wiring diagram and electronic series shown here on this channel. Enjoy...

THIS IS A VIDEO TO SHOW THOSE WHO DONT WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE BIG SYSTEMS OUT THERE. THE BLACK UNIT IN THE BACK GROUND IS THE ONE THAT IM MAKING FOR A FRIEND WHO WILL USE IT WITH GREAT GLADNESS. HIS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY LIGHTENING. IT WOULD COST TOO MUCH FOR REPAIRS AND NEW DEPOSITS AND OLD BILL TO RECONNECT, ESPECIALY WITH REPAIRS FOR A NEW SERVICE BOX AND UPDATING TO A BREAKER SYSTEM AND THE WIRES DESTROYED IN THE HOUSE. ALTHOUGH THIS UNIT WILL NOT NORMALLY SUPPLY A NORMAL HOUSE HOLD IT WILL ALLOW HIM TO HAVE LIGHTS , RADIO, TV , CELLPHONE CHARGING, AND A FEW MORE THINGS BUT NOT ALL AT ONCE OR CONSTANTLY. BUT 20 DOLLARS A DAY FOR GAS IN A GENERATOR IS NOT AN OPTION EITHER. A BAG OF ICE, AND A COOLER IS. WE ARE MAKING A SOLAR HOT WATER HEATER AS WELL. BY 1:00 PM HE WILL HAVE ENOUGH WATER TO DO DISHES AND GET A NICE HOT SHOWER. THEN RELAX BY THE TV OR RADIO FOR A FEW HOURS ON STORED ENERGY. THEN GO TO SLEEP WITH A SMILE. IF HE GETS UP IN THE NIGHT HE CAN JUST TURN ON THE LIGHT. AND ITS ALL FREE. I HAVE ONE CONFESSION TO MAKE ABOUT THE ONE IN THE FIRST VIDEO THAT EVERYONE HAS COMPLEMENTED ON FROM THE BEGINNING. THAT IS , THAT THE ONE THAT IS IN THE VIDEO IS THE 7th OR 8th ONE I DID. I DID IT FOR SOMEONE ELSE BUT I DESTROYED ONE OF THE COIL SETS IN IT BY PULLING ON THE WIRES TO HARD WHILE I WAS RETHREADING THE WIRES TO COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE. BUT THE 12 VOLT SYSTEM INSTEAD OF 24 VOLT SYSTEM WILL NOT SLOW THE BLADES DOWN WHEN ...

The project is essentially done and ready for delivery to the strawbale home where it will live. The only thing to add now is a bit of + / - physical protection to avoid bumping live buss bars, a small AA charge, and a lamp. This setup will basically be used to run a few kitchen appliances like food processors, etc, in an off grid home. When the SLA's die, each one (5 total) will be replaced with (2) 6V Trojans in series, thus comprising a 1000 Amp Hour Bank. That is why everything was done beefy, to accomodate that. I will post links to the parts I used; everything was quite affordable. The setup as shown cost less than $300 incl. everything you see. the inverter is a Xantrex 3000 watt modified sine wave with max 300A input.

I thought that using a voltage regulator may be intimidating to some people so I made this video showing a little simpler way to hook up three lasers to a 9V battery. The original reason for the voltage regulator is that it keeps the lasers safe with no voltage variations or spikes. and also it keeps the lasers the same brightness for alot longer, but with only the resistors (like in this video) the lasers will get dimmer as the voltage goes down on the battery, yes that means that the voltage regulator would keep the lasers at the same brightness for alot longer------ to a point (once the battery discharges to 6.2V and then they'll start getting dimmer. You need to make sure to have a 330 ohm resistor on each individual laser. "Enjoy the Poop!!!", where did that come from?

Link to page: www.pcbheaven.com This is the remake of the third episode of the LED driving and controlling methods Theory Series. In this episode i explain how can someone design a constant current LED driver with a single transistor, biased with a Zener diode to achieve constant current regulation regardless of the power supply voltage. Additionally, i analyze a second circuit with sme functionality but instead of the Zener diode i use two simple diodes. On-line calculator for this circuit: www.pcbheaven.com

My multimeter has an Offset error (-0.4V). The correct value is 14,4V . My gallery about completly alternator and regulator repairing: www.sportmotor.hu Voltage Rectifier/Regulator malfunction: A typical cause is !!NOT!! a bad SH633-12 regulator. The generator will be groundfault at high temperatures. Can not be measured by Multimeter only by Insulation Tester! Regulator alternates: moto-electro.ru or home.comcast.net !!! You should check the coil. Charging coil line (yellow to yellow) 0,1...0,3 OHm Ground line Contiunity should exist about 10GOhm/500V...50 GOhm/500V You can check this by ( Insulation Tester) or home technique: 1 Remove the whole alternator 2 switch DC voltage 0...230V :-) between one yellow and alternator-cover 3 Measure the current ( if your alternator is good, you can not measure anything by multimeter) 4 Calculate resistance (10^9 Ohm , G ohm) // 5 Heat to 100 ° C and repeat 2 to 4 // My measuring was 30Kohm when I warmed it to 100° C and this is very bad !!! 20° C was 1GOhm !!! I hope you find the problem ! If you have any question do not hesitate to contact me. My email: benzinszag@freemail.hu

Understandably, this is not going to save the planet or signifigantly reduce your electric bill but it will give you really intense workout. It just seemed to make good sense that an alternator would work well since it is already voltage-regulated and cheap & easy to obtain. It is important to get the alternator spinning before you energize the rotating field or it will be very hard to get it up to speed. The amount of power you can get depends on how strong your legs are and the size of the inverter you use. I doubt the alternator could be maxed out with human power. Of course, you could modify the alternator if you wanted to. I've gotten 160 amps before out of a modified Delcotron. This one puts out 35 amps. Now, I realize some people would ask whats the point of all this. Well, whats the point of a stationary bike anyways? You expend energy for nothing as it goes nowhere. At least you could run a TV, stereo, lights, or whatever while you're at your exercise routine. Some of you auto electric experts might want to point out the seemingly high voltage and say "Hey, it should be no more than 13.8 volts" but this is a $3.50 volt meter!

DVD Laser Burner HD

I built this in my spare time in an afternoon. I had an old DVD writer that I dismantled to pull the laser diode out of (you can find other videos on Youtube showing how to dismantle the DVD writer). I had bought a couple of 10mW laser modules for $6.95 each a year ago and hadn't made use of them yet. They were perfect for this as they had their own heatsink already and a nice focusing lens and the same diode package as the DVD writer so just popped the 10mW one out and press fitted the replacement diode in. Rough estimate of 300 mW based on 300 mA and 3V for the laser which is 900mW total power and assuming 30% efficiency. Believe red laser diodes have around 50% efficiency but this is an old unit. Will test it with a photometer I have at the office later. Takes less then 2 seconds to burn through a plastic CD case. The aluminum case works as a heat sink for both the laser diode assembly and the LM317T driver. If doing it this way be sure the LM317T is electrically insulated from the metal case with silicon or mica transistor spacers as the tab on the 317 is the output and the case of the diode is at ground, else you will short it out.

This gun is now for sale: I hardly used it after the tuning while moving my attention to airguns from bb. Please email me at markqian@hotmail.com if interest. Here are the modification I did on this gun: 1). Replacing the barrel with JC. This is the first modification I did. It sounds easy but not really to me when I was really new to the gun. I eventually ended up with disassembled the gun completely. The good fact was that it resulted me understand more about the gun. I have been reassembled this gun for more than 15 times. Disassembling the gun not-intentionally encouraged me go further to replace the chip. 2). Replacing the chip for full auto. This is also a hard one. After disassembling the gun, I came up with the idea of replacing the chip. It looks straight forward in the demo video but it is harder when you really do it. You could over heat a component or permanently cut out part of the circuit - I did and make it up when soldering. Warning: anything could happen after you reassembly your gun...What happened to me was the magazine was no longer working. It first kept loading as long as the power is on without stopping and eventually stop working/loading completely (lost all the power). I got it fixed by getting a chip replacement (thanks for DrozdMax.com with a free replacement). 3). Using 2 x 3.6v (close to 4v when full) + 4 x 1.5v batteries = 14v. This is the easiest task. You just need to decide what voltage you want. I don't want to get too close to the limit ...

This video demonstrates PIR motion detector with a pir circuitry. This circuit is a home made. The circuit uses pir sensor which detects motion and amplifies the signal. relay is switched on when motion is detected,and switched off when no motion is detected. The voltage regulator used here are,7805 and 7812 ic . i had assembled this inside a switch board, and connected to the mains 250 volts. as you can see when the relay is on, and off, light is on, and off. When a motion is detected the relay is switched on. This circuit is always on when continous motion is detected. It waits for a while before switching off. again when it detects a motion it is switched on. this project was designed and developed entirely by Titoo . they consist entirely of content that titoo created himself.. completed in 5 days.
