  • Pigeon Scarecrow
    I have an area on my roof where a large flock of pigeons like to roost.  Their nesting materials and droppings really make a mess. Often there is enough junk from them that it clogs my roof gutters.  Perhaps one way to scare them away is with a device mounted on the roof near their favorite roosting spot.  The device....

Solenoid trip circuit works at battery's end of life -  8-Jul-04 Issue of EDN This Design Idea involves a low-power motion-detector circuit that operates from battery power for extended times. Part of the design includes a solenoid-operated trip mechanism that triggers whenever it detects motion. The drive circuit for the solenoid in the original design worked fine as long as the battery was fresh but failed as the battery got into the middle of its life, even though suf....
