CONTACTLESS CAPACITIVE RELAY

A CONTACTLESS CAPACITIVE RELAYThe basis of a capacitive relay — a low-power generator of high frequency such as local oscillator of a radio receiver. To the circuit L1C4 (see diagram) of the connected metal plate sensor. Approached to him the palm of the hand represents the second plate of the capacitor CD. The capacity of such a condenser is the greater, the more area it covers and the smaller the distance between them.

FIVE INSTRUMENTS IN ONE

FIVE INSTRUMENTS IN ONEPerhaps the most difficult stage in the process of creating radiokonstruktor — setting. But if you have even the simplest instrumentation, to establish any electronic device will be much easier. At least, for this job you need avometr, or simply tester. For example, very popular among ham radio uses a simple inexpensive device C-20. But the problem is, he is not entirely comfortable, and this tester is limited. So for those of you who already have such avometr, we propose to improve it by extending the limits of measurement and adding the generator probe with the test transistors.

THE EFFECTS UNIT IS FOR SOLO GUITAR

EFFECTS UNIT FOR Before describing the operation of the device as a whole will focus on one of its constituent elements — the Converter of the spectrum of the electrical signal, or “FUZZ”device. To To obtain this effect, it is necessary to enrich the original signal a large number of odd harmonics. There are several ways, and thus the schemes to achieve them. We will stop at the spectrum Converter, which is a ULF with parapremium.

SIMPLE RECEIVERS ON TRANSISTORS

SIMPLE RECEIVERS ON TRANSISTORSFirst steps in radio, many often begin with independent fabrication of a transistor radio. Along the way, introduces the electronic components, acquired the skills in installation and work with measuring devices. And achieve rapid practical results is to the same positive stimulus for further study of fundamentals of electronics, gives confidence in their abilities and capabilities.

AUTOMATIC PROTECTION OF ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS

AUTOMATIC PROTECTION OF ELECTRONIC CIRCUITSElectronic devices based on microprocessors and integrated circuits are less sensitive to the parameters of the supply voltage. To ensure the safe operation of these devices use voltage regulators with protection. In many power supplies is reduced to cut power to the circuit if a short circuit in it or a sudden increase in load current. Such, for example, the popular voltage stabilizers КР142ЕН5.

MEET: I — ROBOT “ORION”

MEET: I AM A ROBOT Perhaps in the near future when the new spacecraft will go to the moon, Venus or Mars in the Arsenal of the astronauts will be robots who will come first to the planet’s surface to conduct scientific researches, to perform simple welding and Assembly work. So I decided the guys from the mug space simulation Sumy city station of young technicians and build a similar robot with their hands.
