Another Very Loud piezo Alarm Beeper - This is yet another beeper circuit that really draws attention. It sweeps the drive frequency slightly to produce a very annoying sound. It uses a transformer to increase the drive voltage across the piezo device to more than 200 volts peak to peak. . . Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.-June, 2000
Anti Theft Motorcycle Alarm - Any number of normally open switches may be used. Fit the mercury switches so that they close when the steering is moved or when the bike is lifted off its side-stand or pushed forward off its centre-stand. Use micro-switches to protect removable panels and the lids of panniers etc. While at least one switch remains closed, the siren will sound. About two minutes after the switches have been opened again, the alarm will reset. __ Designed by Ron J

Anti-Hijack Alarm No.3 - Automobile Alarm Circuits: Like the first two Hijack Alarmsif a door is opened while the ignition is switched onthe circuit will trip. And after a few minutes delaywhen the thief is at a safe distancethe Siren will sound. But this time the engine does not go on to fail automatically. Insteadit will continue to run until the thief turns off the ignition. Then the engine will not re-start. __ Designed by Ron J

Anti-Theft Security for Car Audio - This small circuit, based on popular CMOS
NAND chip CD4093, can be effectively used for protecting your expensive car audio system against theft. When 12V DC from the car battery is applied to the gadget (as indicated by
LED1) through switch S1, the circuit goes into standby mode. LED inside optocoupler IC1 is lit as its cathode terminal is grounded via the car audio (amplifier) body. As a result, the output at pin 3 of gate N1 goes low and disables the rest of the circuit. __ Learning Electronics
