Dark/Light Activated Relay - The potmeter adjust the trigger 'on' level. The diode in the diagram shows to be 1N914. This is ok if you have a light-duty relay, also the 1N914 is a signal diode so actually does not qualify. Use a 1N4001 (Tony van Roon's or better) instead. A couple of substitutes for the 2N2222 transistor are: NTE123A, ECG123A, PN100, etc __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR

DC-motor switch with brake - 10-Jan-02 EDN-Design Ideas Controlling a small dc motor without speed control sounds like a trivial task; a switch or a relay should suffice. However, several problems accompany this approach. For one, the switch, because of the inductive load and the low starting resistance of the motor, tends to wear out prematurely(with all the related sparks and EMI problems] Design by JB Guiot, DCS AG, Allschwil, Switzerland

Delay Unit for Surround Sound - The Mitsubishi M65830 Delay IC has been discontinued (for reasons beyond my comprehension) , and so far a suitable replacement device has not been found. This means (of course) that you will be unable to build this delay circuit.

In the meantime, just ignore the delay circuit __ Designed by Rod Elliott ESP

Descrete Multistage Light Sequencer - The drawing below illustrates a multistage light sequencer using descrete parts and no integrated circuits. The idea is not new and I hear a similar circuit was developed about 40 years ago using germanium transistors. The idea is to connect the lights so that as one turns off it causes the next to turn on, and so forth. This is accomplished with a large capacitor between each stage that charges when a stage turns off and supplies base current to the next transistor, thus turning it on. Any __ Designed by Bill Bowden
