Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Super Bright 3v Powered LED Flasher -  I have posted several kinds of LED flashers over the years.  This is yet one more flasher, designed to flash any high power LED of any color. It hits the LED with a 25ms 250ma pulse once every 2 seconds.  This works out to an average current about 3ma. It . . . [Circuit by David Johnson P.E.,  04/22/09]

Single Cell Flashes White LED -  11-Dec-03 EDN Design Idea   Many portable appliances and other products that must operate from a single cell are restricted to working at very low voltages. It is thus difficult to drive white LEDs that typically have a forward voltage of 3 to 5V. The ability. . .  [by Anthony Smith, Scitech, Biddenham, Bedfordshire, UK]

Single LED flasher -  Flashing a LED should not require a complex circuit. A reverse biased transistor does the job in an Ice way. Circuit "a" flashes the LED twice a second: changing the capacitor and/or the resistor will change the frequency, also the supply voltage. . . 

Solar Flasher -  This circuit is a single transistor flyback (Joule Thief) circuit that features a third coil. With it, flash duration and brightness is much enhanced, without resorting to large value capacitors. The performance can be seen in the following Videos (on Youtube) : http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=tgcYcPdBwNo. . .  [Design by QS]

Solid-State Flasher Has Short-Circuit Protection -  01/16/97  EDN Design Idea    witches an inductive or resistive grounded load using a bootstrapped n-channel power MOSFET and features short-circuit, reverse-polarity, and transient-input-voltage-spike protection, operates from18 to30-Volt DC, and the circuit. . .  [by Navdhish Gupta, TDF Corp, Naperville, IL]

Sound triggered flash -  If you wish to take a picture of a fleeting event which generates a sound, you can do it with this sound activated trigger. It does not require any power supply: it feeds on the high voltage available on the flash trigger terminal. Any economic ceramic microphone is suitable for the purpose. . . 

Special Effects from a Six Pack -  Four channel Sequencer to Analog Dimmers and idea how to couple relay to the circuit. . . 

Strange LED sequencer -  This bizzare but simple PWM circuit fades from LED to LED. This deceptively simple sequencer actually pulse width modulates the LEDs as it fades from one LED to the next. Bulbs will last much longer when driven in this gentle manner; add FETs or transistors to the outputs if you wish to drive bulbs. You can reconfigure the capacitors. . .  [Circuit by Stepan Novotill]

Strobe from Flash -  After using a disposable camera, you can build a strobe light (flashing light) with one simple modification. (6/02/2006) . . .  [Jose Pino]

Strobe Light -  Designed as a companion to the LX800, can also be used by itself. . .  [Rod Elliott (ESP)]

Strobe Light -  Disco anyone? Actually, this strobe serves a much more useful purpose then making it look cool when you dance in the dark. You can use it to view fast moving objects, look for craks in PC boards (hold the strobe on the trace side of the board and look from the component side) , and it is a great attention getter in a store window. . .  [Design by Aaron Cake]

Strobe Light -  The way that this circuit works is as follows. The AC line voltage is rectified by D1 and D2 which connects to a voltage doubler circuit made up of the two 22uf capacitors. The Flash Freq. Pot and the 10uf capacitor charge up which triggers the Diac and causes the triac to turn on. This allows the trigger transformer T1 to send a very High Voltage. . .  [Randy Linscott]

Strobe Light 12 Volt Coil Powered -  This circuit will give provide a Good Strobe Effect for a variety of Portable Uses. . . .  [G.L. Chemelec]

Strobe Trigger -  These pictures are scenes frozen by a flash unit that is triggered by the action being recorded. They were made by setting up a shot, opening the camera shutter using its "bulb" setting, and carrying out some action that opened or closed a circuit to trigger the flash. The balloon pictures were taken by triggering the flash when the balloon began to shrink after being popped. In most cases the balloon had a strip of foil attached to it with probes pressed against it on two sides, with a circuit interrupted when the foil pulled away from the probes. . .  [John DuBois designer]

Strobex Schematic -  Schematic only for a Variable Intensity Variable Speed Stroboscop, no circuit description given. . . .  [Samuel M. Goldwasser]

Strobo Control -  Remote controller for professional lighting system stroboscope, controls the flashing speed. . . .  [Design and copyright by Tomi Engdahl]

Stroboscope trigger circuits -  This circuit typically uses a voltage around 300 volts for the main high voltage supply and needs a low voltage supply of typically 6 to 15 volts. . . .  [Written by Don Klipstein]

Super Simple Flasher -  File contains several designs, please scroll to find this circuit. Here is a simple flasher circuit that uses no resistors! However, it relies on leakage in the base of the PNP germanium transistor and only some will work; be prepared to try a few. If you add a 100k resistor from the base to the collector of the PNP, the circuit will work with most germanium transistors and will work down to 1 VDC! The NPN should be a silicon type. The 100 uF may be replaced with a 22uF in series with a 5k resistor and it would be a good idea to add 39 ohms in series with the base of the NPN (but then the circuit starts to lose its charming simplicity). . . .  [Charles Wenzel (unless otherwise noted)]

Synchronous Crossing Light Flashers -  In the synchronous flasher control the oscillator is running at all times and the power to each set of flashers is turned on or off by the control circuit for that crossing. This allows any number of flasher sets at different crossings to controlled individually and yet flash in unison. scroll down for this circuit. . .  [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
