Automatic Headlight Brightness Switch (Aaron Cake) -  Driving the highway with your high-beam headlights can really increase your visibility, but can be a blinding hazard for other drivers.  This simple circuit can be wired into your headlight switch to provide automatic switching between high and low beam headlights when there is oncoming traffic. It does this by sensing the lights of that traffic. In this way, you can drive safely with your high-beams on without blinding other drivers.... [Aaron Cake's design]
Automatic Speed Controller for fans & Coolers -  During summer nights,  temperature is initially quite high. As time passes,  temperature starts dropping. Also, after a person falls asleep,  metabolic rate of one’s body decreases. Thus, initially  fan/cooler needs to be run at full speed. As time passes, one has to get up again and again to adjust  speed of  fan or .…  (added 10/05)
Automotive & Household Siren Driver Circuits: ZSD100 & Discrete 'H'-Bridge Minimum Parts Count Solution -  Zetec Semiconductors  Applications Notes A solution is provided that uses a minimum number of components by utilising an application specific signal generation IC, and a high efficiency 'H'-bridge effected with 3A DC rated Super-δ TO92 style switching transistors.   (app note added 2/06)
Automotive 12v Electrical System Voltage Indicator -  This battery powered unit is designed to quickly aid troubleshooting of 12v electrical systems in a car.  Three LEDs proved a visual indication of a +12v, ground or an open circuit voltage level. …. [Hobby Corner Circuit by Dave Johnson]
Automotive 12V to +-20V converter (for audio amplifier) -  The limitation of car supply voltage (12V) forces to convert the voltages to higher in order to power audio amplifiers. In fact the max audio power x speaker (with 4 ohm impedance) using 12V is (Vsupply+ - Vsupply-)^2/(8*impedance) 12^2/32 = 4.5Watts per channel, that is laughable....For powering correctly an amplifier the best is to use a symmetric supply with a high voltage differential. for example +20 - -20 = 40Volts in fact 40^2/32 = 50 Watts per channel that is respectable.  This supply is intended for two channels with 50W max each (of course it depends on the amplifier....
Automotive Electrical Voltage Indicator -  This circuit will indicate if an automotive electrical circuit has zero volts or 12 volts present.... [Designed by David A. Johnson]
Automotive Electronic Functional Test Using Agilent System Components -  Agilent Application Note  (added 6/06)
Automotive link uses single wire -  3-Apr-03 Issue of EDN  In the automotive industry, in which the goal is to produce cars with simpler, lighter wiring looms, any interface that uses just one wire instead of two offers a distinct advantage. The circuit in Figure 1 implements a bidirectional link using a single wire, with the car's chassis or ground conductor providing a negative return path....
