The MicroPower Solar Engine - A 'micro power solar engine' has been a goal since my introduction to BEAM Robotics. I believe that if there wasn't one before, I there is one now. What I'm presenting to you looks very similar to one of the circuits found in Steven Bolt's web pages. As you will see, I made only minor changes to that design and not without help. __ Designed by Ken Huntington
The Miller solar engine - The Miller solar engine uses a 1381* voltage detector (a. k. a. , a voltage supervisor) IC to drive a voltage-based (type 1) solar engine. The 1381 is normally used to reset CPUs and Micros when the power supply drops too low for reliable operation. So 1381s detect and switch when the input voltage crosses the rated upper and lower threshold voltages. The upper- and lower-switching voltages are slightly overlapped so that the turn-on voltage is a few hundred mV above the turn-off voltage. This hysteresis keeps input noise (around the switching threshold) from resulting in multiple output cycles as the transition occurs. __ Contact: Eric Seale
The SMS remote controller - It's been passed a lot of years since my first SMS remote control. The reason I stoped developing the source code of my previous circuit was that the T10s was not available in the market sinse a lot of years. So, __ Designed by Vassilis Serasidis
The Ultimate Wireless Volume Control - 17-Aug-11 -Design News: Andrew Morris decided the usual wireless volume controls don’t offer enough functionality, so he created the ultimate volume control that connects between a computer or MP3 player and an amplified speaker system. __ Andrew R. Morris, Gadget Freak-Case #192
The VTSE solar engine - The VTSE uses the popular 1381 chip and that is its main advantage. The potentiometer (or two fixed resistors) connects one leg between the output and input of the 1381 and the other leg to the supply voltage. These resistors acts like a voltage divider when the SE is off and the 1381 output is low. In that case, the voltage that appears at the 1381 input is determined by the ratio of the pot or the two resistors and is usually set for 2 times rated 1381 voltage. __ Designed by Wilf Rigter
The Vx2SE solar engine - The Vx2SE is a simple discrete voltage-doubling SE for driving an LED. If the load is a red or green LED, J1 is used together with just one red or green LED for threshold detection (no 1381). For driving a blue LED use two green or red LEDs in series and may require a higher voltage (3V) solar cell. With 100uf capacitors the flash frequency is 2-3Hz and the R2 and R3 resistors may be omitted. With very large capacitors (0.01F and up) the frequency is much lower and the resistors can be optimized to stretch the LED "on" time. The Vx2 solar engines will self trigger but are also sensitive to a drop in light and will trigger from a shadow etc. __ Designed by Wilf Rigter
Thermal Cooling Fan Controller - As we begin to enjoy those lazy hazy days of summer, the most important thing on most of our minds is how to keep cool during those hot days. For some of us that means turning up the old air conditioner and sipping on a nice cold glass of our favorite soft drink. However, we often forget about an equally important __ Designed by Radio Amateur Society of Norwich
Thermal Peak Detection Charger - The electric model aircraft and car industries have produced a bewildering array of field chargers for NiCd motor battery packs.

Thermostat for 12v Cooling Fan - This circuit will turn on a 12v DC powered cooling fan when the air temperature reaches a certain high temperature and will keep the fan turned on until the temperature drops below a second lower level.

Thermostat for 1KW Space Heater SCR controlled - Below is a thermostat circuit I recently built to control a 1300 watt space heater. The heater element (not shown) is connected in series with two back to back 16 amp SCRs (not shown) which are controlled with a small pulse transformer. The pulse transformer has 3 identical windings, two of which are used to supply trigger pulses to the SCRs, and the third winding is connected to a PNP transistor pair that alternately supply pulses to the transformer at the beginning of each AC half cycle. The trigger pulses are applied to both SCRs near the beginning of each AC half cycle but only one conducts depending on the AC polarity. __ Designed by Bill Bowden
Third Brake Light - This circuit is NOT a pulser or flasher! What's so special about this circuit? Well, the first third-brake light I installed I had to pull a wire from the Third Brake Light all the way underneath the carpet to the brake-pedal-switch and I thought it would be easier to pluck the signal of both brakelights via the trunk. Bench-test your circuit first and apply power to the circuit, __ Designed by Tonny Von Roon
Third Brake Light Pulser - Several years ago these flashers were introduced in the automotive industry as part of the third brake light and contained strobe lights (and strobing continuously for the duration of pressing the break pedal) but got abandoned almost immediately sometime later because of the 'strobe' effect it has on some people. This circuit has become obsolet since much better circuits are available these days without the 'lag' in between brakes caused by R4 and C3. One of the circuits is listed below __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR
