Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Simple Security Wire Loop Alarm  NEW
     A wire is looped through various objects which are to be monitored.  The loop wire is typically an aircraft cable but could also be any insulated stranded wire.  The loop is attached to a table or desk.  Should the loop be cut, the alarm is sounded.

Oscillating output improves system security - 02/06/03 EDN-Design Ideas: Many electronic-control systems have digital outputs that use transistors. One method of improving the security in these outputs is to use an oscillating signal to represent a logic-high state instead of a fixed voltage level....  Many electronic-control systems have digital outputs that use transistors. One method of improving the security in these outputs is to use an oscillating signal to represent a logic-high state instead.....(design idea added 09/03)
Over Voltage Protection - Safety devices like fuses provide protection against excess current, but do nothing for transients and short duration spikes of high voltahe on the power supply lines.This circuit uses the "crowbar" method and provides fast protection against transient voltage spikes, transients that could cause damage to sensitive components. (added 08/08/08)
Perimeter Monitor - Using a single cable such as speaker wire or doorbell cable, this circuit can be remotely positioned, for example, at the bottom of a garden or garage, and used to detect all sound in that area. The cable can be buried in a hosepipe or duct and is concealed out of sight. The mic is an ordinary dynamic mic ....(added 8/03)

This remote control unit has 4 channels which can be easily extended to 12. This circuit differs from similar circuits in view of its....(added 6/07)
Rain Detector (Aaron Cake) - This circuit uses a sensor made of a small piece of etched PC board and a simple SCR circuit to detect rain and sound a buzzer. The SCR could also be used to activate a relay, turn on a lamp, or send a signal to a security system.  (circuit / design added 8/03)
Remote Door Lock (Seiichi Inoue) - …(circuit design added 05/08)
Reverse warning device - The car that is equipped with the reverse lamp. In the case that it is not equipping, it's a defective car.….(added 05/08)

Simple Alarm System - (circuit design added 8/03)
Simple combination lock - This experiment may be built using only one 8-position DIP switch, but the concept is easier to understand if two switch assemblies are used. The idea is, one switch acts to hold the correct….(electronic design added 6/07)
Simple Electronic 'Lock' - There are six (or more) push switches. To 'unlock' you must press all the correct ones at the same time, but not press any of the cancel switches. Pressing just one cancel switch will prevent the circuit unlocking. When the circuit unlocks it actually just turns on an LED for about one second, but it is intended to be adapted to turn on a relay which could be used to switch on another circuit.....Designed by John Hewes (circuit added 06/07/08)
Simple Fire-Door Alarm - This circuit will let you know when something that should be kept closed, has in fact been left open. Attach it to a Fire-Door. It will allow you to pass through the door as usual. However, if it's left open for more than 30-seconds or so, the buzzer will sound. Photo (circuit design added 05/08)
Simple Security Wire Loop Alarm - A wire loop is used to protect valuable objects in this simple alarm circuit.  The electronic hobby circuit is powered by a 9v battery.  The alarm beeper is activated if the wire loop is severed.  The standby current is so low that the 9v battery should last for many years.  ….(designed by David A. Johnson)
