  • High Intensity Line Powered LED Flasher  -  There are times when you would like to generate an intensely bright flash of light using electrical power from the AC line. The circuit below can drive a one to three watt power LED with about 350ma of peak current. Since the circuit drives the LED with . . . [Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.,  12/07/08]

  • High Power LED Flasher  -  Power LEDs are becoming more popular these days. The DC input power to these devices ranges from 1 watt to 5 watts. Normal LEDs only receive about 0. 05 watts. At this higher power, these devices can emit a lot of light . . . [Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E.,  08/03/08]

  • HO Model Train Lighthouse Flasher  -  HO train sets often have authentic looking scale model homes and buildings. The hobby circuit below can be mounted inside a model lighthouse. The electronic circuit drives a single LED lamp in such a way that it produces light which simulates the rotation . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E.,  07/11/06]  

  • HO Train Lighthouse Flasher Revisited  -  HO train sets often have authentic looking scale model homes and buildings.   A while back someone asked me to design a flashing LED light, which he could mount inside a model lighthouse and have it operate so it would appear to rotate and flash.   I designed a working circuit but I was never pleased with the results.   I’m still not 100% pleased but the revised circuit below seems to operate a bit better than the older circuit. … [Hobby Circuit designed by Dave Johnson P. E. , May 2012] . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by Dave Johnson P.E.,  12/20/12]  

  • Hot AC Power Line Indicator  -  The circuit below is designed to detect when a power cable is active (hot) . When the flat sensor end of the device is held near an active AC line, the bright green LED on the top of the housing will glow. It is powered by a 3v CR2032 lithium coin cell. I . . .

H-Bridge  -  This circuit drives a motor clockwise / anticlockwise via a 10k to 100k pot. . . .  [Name of designer is not given]

 

H-Bridge  -  drives DC motors forward and backward. . . .  [Bob Blick]

 

H-Bridge drives DC motors  -  This circuit drives small DC motors up to about 100 watts or 5 amps or 40 volts, whichever comes first. Using bigger parts could make it more powerful. Using a real H-bridge IC makes sense for this size of motor, but hobbyists love to do it themselves, and I thought it was about time to show a tested H-bridge motor driver that didn't use exotic parts. . .  [Bob Blick's design]
