Power supply failure alarm - This is a circuit for a power supply failure alarm. It requires no separate supply for itself. It uses a capacitor to store enough charge for the alarm to sound for about one minute in case of a power failure. __ Designed by Electronicsforu
Power Supply Failure Alarm - Most of the power supply failure indicator circuits need a separate power supply for themselves. But the alarm circuit presented here needs no additional supply source. It employs an electrolytic capacitor to store adequate charge, to feed power to the alarm circuit which sounds an alarm for a reasonable duration when the supply fails.
Powerful buzzer for use as a doorbell - How often on average do you have to call members of your family each day to tell them that dinner is ready, it’s time to leave, and the like? The person you want is usually in a different room, such as the hobby room or bedroom. A powerful buzzer in the room, combined with a pushbutton at the bottom of the stairs or in the kitchen, could be very handy in such situations __ Learning Electronics
Powerful Security Siren-Transistors based - This circuit was requested by several correspondents. Its purpose was to obtain more power than the siren circuit already available on this website (One-IC two-tones Siren) and to avoid the use of ICs. A complementary transistor pair (Q2 & Q3) is wired as a high efficiency oscillator, directly driving the loudspeaker. Q1 ensures a full charge of C2 when power is applied to the circuit __ Learning Electronics
Power-line outage flashes red alert - 06/13/02 EDN-Design Ideas This design idea expands on a circuit in a previous one to configure a power-outage detector with a flashing alarm(Figure 1, Reference 1]. The circuit plugs into a mains outlet and uses trickle-charged nickel-cadmium batteries. The green-LED monitors the presence of line voltage. The BZV55-C4V3 zener diode, D1 protects the batteries against overvoltage Design by Vasiliy Borodai, Zaporozhje, Ukraine
Power-On Reminder with LED Lamp - Many a times equipment at workstations remain switched on unnoticed. In this situation, these may get damaged due to overheating. Here is an add-on device for the workbench power supply that __ Electronics Projects for You
Power-Supply Failure Alarm - Most of the power-supply failure indicator circuits need a separate power-supply for themselves. But the alarm circuit presented here needs no additional supply source. __ Designed by M.K. CHANDRA MOULEESWARN
Precision Receiver Battery Low Voltage Alarm - Flying hand launch gliders means living with small capacity receiver NiCad battery packs. These small packs are light, but have the distinct disadvantage of rapidly depleting. You can carefully time your flights, but you end up either crashing when your plane seizes or using only a portion of the already small capacity of the battery. If you charge the battery in a slightly suboptimal fashion, your plane dies and bites the dirt (done that, crashed). This devices will allow you to use a small mA pack and use the full capacity of your battery. __ Contact: IQ Technologies
Pressure Sensor Alarm - General purpose circuit of the simple pressure sensor alarm is built around a couple of readily available cheap components. Working of this circuit is straight forward and self-explanatory. When the circuit is powered by a 9V compact battery, the active piezo-sounder at the output of IC1 starts beeping for a short time and __ Designed by Popescu Marian
Pressure-Sensitive Alarm - Here is a low-cost, pressure-sensitive burglar alarm. The alarm uses a home-made pressure sensor, which works as a variable capacitor using two copper-clad boards and a piece of sponge in between __ Electronics Projects for You
Programmable Home Security Alarm System. Part 1. Schematic - Part 1. In this project we design low cost high performance programmable home security system using few LDR's as an input sensors. When above sensor(s) get triggered system may dial the user specified phone number (using build-in DTMF generator) and activate the high power audio alarm and lights.
