Of the readers who didn’t lose metal parts or tools? Sometimes it happens at the most inopportune time and threatens to permanently stop work. Lost somewhere in the grass screwdriver that fell behind the Cabinet chisel or a failure in a pier of pliers is able to ruffle anyone. In such cases a simple device – a magnetic probe with light and sound alarm. Using this simple device, you can easily find the loss in hard to reach places and the fact findings you will be notified outbreak warning led and buzzer. The principle of operation of the probe is quite simple – on a long rod fixed two magnet “sticking” to the metal object which closes the circuit and lights the warning led. Thus, you can know when the probe with discovery, you can extract the “light”.

REED SECURITY — SIMPLY AND EFFICIENTLY
Security systems are a rapidly developing area of modern electronics. Published a huge number of various schemes and designs that can make anyone a couple of times was holding the soldering iron. For example, “electronic security guards” can warn of an intruder enters the premises or to signal the presence of the recorder for unauthorized sound recordings.
SIGNALLER ICING
The formation of ice on the surface of the blades of the rotor (screw) microgenerator-ROV, wind turbines, anemometers, propeller vanes, fans, degrades performance and may lead to dangerous modes of operation – imbalance, vibration, destruction of bearings, the possibility of destruction of the structural elements is relieved by ice. To prevent such operation it is necessary to detect and eliminate incipient icing.
ECONOMICAL LIGHTING
In large apartments and private homes in the evening and at night it is difficult to follow the dark corridors or staircases to the touch to find the button and turn the lighting.
There’s another alternative — buy a standalone lamps soft light — can be installed in any convenient place at the discretion of the owner.
SENSITIVE METAL DETECTOR
I have designed the metal detector works on the principle of beating is generated due to the difference of the oscillation model and tunable oscillators (5-10-th harmonic, selects the nearest frequency). This allows to increase the sensitivity of the instrument to the point that it becomes possible to detect, say, a five-kopeck coin in the soil at 10 cm, and a steel manhole or pipe — to 65-cm depth. Performed on the available element base, a metal detector does not require careful tuning and maintenance. Power supply — galvanic battery “Crown”.
THE SOUND CONFIRMS THE COMMAND
Simple circuits sound LEDs turn on electronic devices
In Amateur practice, it is frequently necessary to announce the inclusion of any homemade or industrially produced household electronic appliance, equipment or device — which is unusual, pleasant to the ear (if picked up a soft tone audible signal). This is especially true when the appliances operated with a remote control — an acknowledgement signal confirms that the received command. For example, when the operation control of air conditioning — when it is turned on or the mode is changed as a response to user, sound short and melodious sound signal duration of 1 — 2 seconds.
BUZZER
Buzzer on digital circuits switching on/off of electronic devices with power supply of 12 V.
In the car a lot of devices that are included in the operation key or switch. To control the inclusion of a device only by clicking a mechanical switch (which when the machine can not hear) or visual position of a key (which is not easy in motion).
AUTOGRANT IN THE HOUSE
The use of automotive capacitive sensor for home security.
Automotive sensors swing (vibration), RF and capacitor, responsive to the approach of people to the car or movement in the cabin, successfully adapted by hams for specific tasks in the home.
AUTOMATIC ON-OFF
This device is designed to automatically turn on exterior lighting after dark, and, accordingly, the automatic switch-off at dawn, which is always important, especially in terms of country of residence in order to save energy resources.
The power of the connected load is 200 — 500 watts. If the load is more si-mister should be installed on the radiator area of 50 — 100 cm2. It is possible to use a more powerful triac, for example ТС112-16-10.
PEACEFUL SLEEP (MOSQUITO DEVICE)
“Ah, summer red, I would love you, if not for the heat, and dust, Yes mosquitoes, Yes flies”. And although the high poetry of the great poet little combined with the dry prosaic lines, technical articles, these words can be safely put as the epigraph to this material. To stop the change of seasons in nature is impossible, and every year we have a “happening” summer, and with it come the usual worries of relief and localization of negative emotions, invariably manifested in humans with the appearance of annoying flying insects — mosquitoes, flies and other midges. To protect yourself from them, in nature and even at home someone buys a mosquito net, others treat themselves and family members with special insect repelling creams and formulations. However, possessing the skills, you can build a simple circuit protection device against mosquitoes, operating by using of ultrasonic radiation. What is ultrasound?
