Boat Lift Controller With Remote - 12-Sep-14 -Design News: At my lake home, I have a Shore Station boat lift to lift my boat out of the water when it is not in use. The lift has a manual crank and wheel, which can be quite tedious to operate. I added a Lift Mate Universal motor from Shoreline Industries to crank the wheel for me. This type of lift and lift __ Gadget Freak-Case #262
Boost converter controls 12V fan from 5V supply - 12/12/97 EDN-Design Ideas Temperature-controlled PWM boost converter allows operation of a12V brushless dc fan from a5V supply. Design by John McNeill, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA
Boost Converter for Solar Cell Array - The boost converter is used to charge batteries from low voltage solar arrays. Results were obtained using 3X3 cells that deliver about 400 millivolts at 1 amp. The pictured panel array contains 20 cells in series and generates about 8 watts at 8 volts in bright sunlight and was assembled on a 12 X 16 picture frame. Efficiency of the converter measured 87% and delivers almost 600 milliamps into a 12 volt SLA battery. Efficiency drops to about 72% using 4 single cells in series (pictured above) charging the same 12 volt battery at around 70mA. __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Brake Light Flasher for Motorcycles - Several years ago one car manufacturer added a rapid flasher to their brake lights. Wow! Those things really got your attention when the driver stepped on the brakes. But, if you ever had to stop behind one at a traffic light at night, you were likely to go into seizures from the strobing, rear lights covering your field of vision. I think they dumped the idea __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR
Brake Light Signal Module - Generates 4 short flashes, followed by a steady on light; Can drive LED Arrays at currents up to 1 Amp __ Contact: Flavio Dellepiane, fladello @ tin.it
Brakelight Flasher - This is basically a flasher circuit modified to turn on and off a bulb instead of a LED. It uses a 555 timer IC working as an astable multivibrator. The flashing rate can be varied from very fast to a maximum of once in 1.5 sec by varying preset VR1. The ON time of circuit is given by: TON= 0.69xC1x (R1 + VR1) second and OFF time is: TOFF= 0.69xC1xVR1 second __ Designed by Radioland.nt.au
Brakelight hookup - 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 Tony van Roon VA3AVR
Bridge heA - D - The LDR's were hand-picked. Got two packages of them from Radio Shack, looking for at least two pairs of similar parts. Then added wire-wrap pin sockets, to the circuit, so that the LDR's could be plugged in. Currently, the 0.33UF cap is not being used on my B-Head's. I made a long J-hook from "Jumbo Paper Clips", attached it to the motor shaft, and then hung it from my rear-view mirror so it can "see the lights" __ Designed by Paul T. Barton
Brush DC Motor Drive - The LS7260 series of Brushless DC Motor Commutator ICs can easily be used to drive Brush DC motors. All the features for driving Brushless DC motors still apply, including Enable, Speed Control, Overcurrent Protection and Braking.

Brush Motor Speed 12V Controller - In many applications, you would like to hold the speed of a motor constant, even as variations in the power supply voltage or mechanical load try to change its speed. In other applications, the average current to the motor needs to be limited, so the. . . Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E.-May, 2007

Buck-Boost Controller Drives High-Power LEDs, Charges High-Voltage Batteries - 08/29/13 EDN-Design Notes The LT®3791 is a 4-switch synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter that regulates both constant-current and constant-voltage at up to 98.5% efficiency with a single inductor. It can deliver hundreds of watts and features a 60V input and output rating, making it ideal for driving high power LED strings and charging high voltage batteries when both step-up and step-down conversion is needed. It can also be used as a constant voltage buck-boost regulator with current limiting and monitoring for both input and output. __ Designed by Keith Szolusha, Linear Technology Corporation, also see Linear Technology Design Note 501
Build a 12/24V 3-Stage Solar Charge Controller - Are you building the ultrasonic anti-fouling unit for your boat? You will need a solar panel and a charge controller to keep the batteries topped up. Or are you thinking of a large solar panel for your caravan or 4-wheel drive? Again, you will need a solar charge controller. This is the one to build.__ SiliconChip
Build a High Speed NiCd Charger for Electric R/C - A few years back, I published a design for a Low Cost Thermal Peak Detection Charger. Since then, I've designed several other chargers, in my ongoing quest to avoid having to spend money. Of course, in building all these designs, I've probably spent more than a really good commercial charger would have cost me. But designing and building is half the fun __ Designed by Stefan Vorkoetter
Build a Miniature High-Rate Speed Control with Battery Eliminator (BEC) - Many designs for high-rate speed controls have been published. Most require two 8-pin integrated circuits (ICs) or one 14-pin IC. Many designs suitable for home construction are fairly large (some as large as 2" square). Many do not include a brake __ Designed by Stefan Vorketter
