Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
Earthquake Alarm Circuit  -  Geophones are dandy motion sensors.  They are metal cans containing a powerful magnet, suspended with springs inside a coil of wire.  The magnet functions as a floating mass.  The slightest vertical motion of the device causes the coil to move relative to . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David Johnson P.E.-July 08, 2005

Electrical Device Harvests Earthworms  -  A 120vac or 240vac isolation transformer is used to force earthworms from the ground.   . . . Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E.-July 09, 2006

Electronic candle -  This  circuit  will  detect  light  falling  on  the  Light Dependent Resistor  (LDR or CdS) .   When light falls on the  LDR  the  arrangement  of  resistors  at  the  base  of  the transistor T1 gives a change of voltage.   This biases or turns  on  the  transistor  which  turns  on  T2,  allowing sufficient  current  to  flow  to light the globe.   The arrangement of the  resistors at the base of T1 is called a Potential Divider.   It is adjusted to suit ambient light conditions by the variable resistor VR1.   A typical use would be to set the project up in the refrigerator.  The light will light up in another room if you have enough wire, or you  could put  a  buzzer  in  instead  of the light and catch whoever is raiding the refrigerator.__ CdS Electronic

Electronic Candle BLow Out -  LED or bulb switch off with a puff; Funny gadget3V Battery supply __ Contact: Flavio Dellepiane, fladello @ tin.it

Electronic Chime -  Scroll Down to find this circuit.  This circuit simulates a chime similar to the sound many cars make when the keys are left in the ignition.  The bottom two gates form a squarewave audio oscillator that drives the base of the 2N4401, turning it on and off at an audio rate.  The top two gates produce a short low-going pulse about once per second that discharges the 10 uF capacitor through the diode.  The voltage then jumps up and slowly decays __ Contact: Charles Wenzel of Wenzel Associates, Inc.

Electronic Fuse -  An absolute necessity of every electronics lab is a workbench power supply.  The power supply should be regulated and protected against short circuit.  Most power-supply protection circuits use a low-value, high-wattage resistor...__ Electronics Projects for You

Electronic Fuse -  This is adjustable elctronic fuse that can be used to protect power supplies from short circuits or can be also used to limit the current usage.  It can be adjusted for currents from 100mA up to 4.3A.   __ Designed by di Domenico Di Mario

Electronic Fuse -  Full short-circuit and overcurrent protection is given by this circuit suitable for workbench applications in technical schools and laboratories where there is a need to work directly with the mains.   __ Designed by © EFY Enterprises Pvt. Ltd.

Electronic Fuse for DC Short Protection -  This is an electronic fuse that protects the load against short circuit.  Relays must be choosen with a voltage value equals to the input voltage.  Don't omit using the 100uF capacitor with appropriate voltage value with respect to the input voltage.  If you can't provide, you can use C106 instead of BRX46.  You can adjust the current with using 10K potentiometer.  If you will use the fuse with very high currents, lower the 0R6 5W resistor value  (ex.0R47, 0R33, 0R22 or 0R1) .  Watt value of the resistor should be increased also.
