TRUST CALCULATION COMPUTER

TRUST CALCULATION COMPUTERWith the calculation of the resonant circuits (filters) have to face almost every radio Amateur. It is proposed to sub-contract the performance of this work a personal computer, using the program, interface is understandable and accessible to almost anyone. It all comes down, essentially, to the answers to the questions that are displayed on the monitor screen.

WINNER — MACHINE

WINNER MACHINEWhen 25 years ago on the pages of Newspapers and magazines began to appear about the creation of an electronic cybernetic machines are able to play dominoes, checkers, chess and other games, readers in different ways embraced the news. Alone, tossing up her hands in astonishment, and said, “just Think! What came to technique!” Other, moderately severe, people shrugged their shoulders: “Do scientists have nothing better to do?” “What are you — objected to them and others, not so serious, — let them enjoy themselves. It is necessary for scientists to have a rest after hard work”.

RECEIVERS-SOUVENIRS

RECEIVERS-SOUVENIRSTake a look at the placed on the fourth page of the cover. It would seem that the similarities between these fun figures and radio? However, a question may ask the inexperienced reader, but for the guys from the Moscow Palace of pioneers there are no secrets: inside each colorful souvenir — detector receiver. For example, this tiny doll made by Vladimir Trusov, takes the radio station “Mayak”, operating on the wave of 547 m, and “Lunokhod” Yuri Kozyrev— long-wave radio station on the wave of 1734 m.

“OPERAZIONI”-UNIVERSAL

In recent years, widespread integrated circuit, which is a nearly complete unit (amplifier, radio or audio frequencies, a detector, etc.) or radios in General. However, for all its appeal (especially for mass production of narrow-purpose machinery) excessive specialization of IC circuit is devoid of flexibility and impedes the solution of diverse tasks assigned to the electronics. Report that and produced a huge number of more versatile chips, the so — called operational amplifiers (op-amps).

AUTOMATIC BIT-CHARGER

AUTOMATIC BIT-CHARGERIt is known that in the process of operation of car batteries is required from time to time to do preventive charge-discharge cycles to prevent sulfation of the plates and thereby increase their service life. There are lots of devices, including homemade (see the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 9— 11 ’01), through which the battery is initially discharged to 10.5 V with a current of 1/20 of its capacity and then the voltage on the terminals is communicated during the charge-discharge cycle to 14.2 to 14.5 V. And the ratio of the charge-discharge current components are in the majority supported almost perfect — 10:1, and the pulse durations of the charge-discharge — as 3:1, but…

MUSIC ALARM

MUSICAL ALARMMUSICAL ALARMBusy with household chores or interesting conversation, we forget, for example, on a boiling kettle. Time to remind him maybe a simple buzzer. However, the oscillators sound frequency (e.g. multivibrators) based on transistor logic or integrated circuits do not always meet their creators. The simplest devices give a smooth tone, barely visible against the background of everyday noise, and sudden and loud “beep-beep” of a more complex designs can scare.
