THE LAMP WILL SERVE LONGER

THE LAMP WILL SERVE LONGERAs is known, operation at a higher supply voltage, the mode transition processes (with frequent switching on and off) are light bulbs guidelinesin follows: ultimately burns out the filament. Meanwhile, the lifespan of light bulbs can be considerably increased if you connect them to the AC mains via a special adapter, each of which — your… rectifier. Of course, compact: solid-state, half-wave rectified without filter.

AT THE DOOR BARKS… A TAPE RECORDER

AT THE DOOR BARKS... RECORDERIn these troubled and difficult time when the crime situation every year more complicated, the important importance of watchdog and signaling device that protects property from encroachment by criminal elements. Among these developments, I have designed instrument, to collect which can anyone, even a novice radio Amateur. Using as actuator recorder of any type, on a looped tape which recorded tigrama barking dog, it simulates presence in the building watchdog. And the electronics triggering happens at the moment of approach or touch of a human hand to the castle.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION:OPTIONS

ELECTRONIC IGNITION:OPTIONSWe are talking about different versions of electronic ignition devices (UEZ), is made as transistors and IC. The lack of scarce elements, as well as the simplicity of the schemes allow you to collect the block of electronic ignition even ignorant in electronics motorists. UEZ can work together with the ignition coil B-117 (B-117A) and B-115V, used in cars “Zhiguli”, “Moskvich” and “Zaporozhets”, and since there is no special transformer to storage capacitor, the device consumes virtually no current when the ignition is on, has small weight and dimensions.

CAN BE BRIGHT, CAN FAINTLY

CAN-BRIGHT, CAN FAINTLYWant to improve your capital on the lamp. Say equip it with a dimmer glow (which is especially important when watching television), and compactly built-in outlet, resulting in the lighting device have an additional opportunity to serve as a kind of extension! Then feel free to tackle The more scarce parts and assemblies necessary. As, however, and a solid knowledge-experience in the field of electrical and radio engineering.

THE REFEREE SIGNALS

REFEREE SIGNALSDo you think what is common between math and electronics? Readers familiar with digital technology, recall that the mathematical laws of Boolean algebra the basis for the action of logic circuits. But that’s not all. It turns out that in mathematics, and electronics often use this concept as a comparison. But if you have to compare them with other numeric values, in electronics there is a comparison of the electrical signals. To perform such operations even created special devices — Comparators.

ANTI-THEFT – IN 5 MINUTES

ANTI-THEFT ALARM FOR 5 MINUTESAfter reading No. 1 “M-K” for the year 1989 description electronic switch-off “weight” of the car, decided to use it as a simple anti-theft tool. However, the replacement of toggle on the button (as advised by the project author V. Arapov) or reed switch occurs very undesirable moment when the voltage produced by the generator will be equal to the battery voltage, the transistor closes. And in the future on-Board vehicle network will be powered by only one generator. And as for fuel economy the engine is regulated to the minimum idling speed, the voltage generated by the generator in this mode, will be low. Therefore, at the moment of starting off (as in a “weak” generator, and when the light is turned on) the engine may stall. But the main danger occurs when emergency braking, as when the engine stops, the on-Board system is de-energized and the brake lights do not burn!

THE RADIATOR FOIL

RADIATORS FOILFast and simple — to manufacture heat sinks for transistors and microcircuits made of copper or aluminum foil with a thickness of 0.1—0.3 mm. Plates are cut with scissors, carefully collected in a package with a thickness of 3 mm, clamped between two fairly tough boards and drill holes. Prior to Assembly of the plate trimmed in the area of thermal contact and smooth out the micron sandpaper to ensure their tight fit. And after the plates are assembled, their ends are bred throughout the free zone.

ECONOMICAL PN-70

ECONOMICAL PN-70As a stand-alone power source flash FIL-46 I use a voltage Converter PN-70, manufactured by Kharkiv enterprises “ECHO”. In the process of operation of this device revealed its drawback: after charging the storage capacitor and ignition indicator lights, signaling willingness to work consumed by the inverter current decreases from 1.5 A to About 1 A, that is, the batteries are not disabled and continue to discharge. This leads to rapid failure. To stop the discharge of the batteries is possible by disabling the flash from the unit manually by taking out the plug from the socket or set forth in the chain of socket switch. However, both methods are inconvenient due to the fact that distract from the shooting.
