2.45ghz RF Signal Detector -  This passive RF indicator is made from a few simple parts.  A 100uA moving coil meter is used to display the relative intensity of the RF signal.  This circuit can be used with some cell phones and many cordless telephones. . . Circuit by David Johnson P.E.-July, 2006

Cell Phone Charger -  It seems that as cell phones become more sophisticated, their operating times become shorter and shorter.  If you are on the go all the time and have difficulty finding AC or DC outlets to charge your phone, you might consider this simple scheme . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E.-August, 2009

Cell Phone Solar Powered Charger -  The simple circuit below regulates the voltage from a 6v solar panel to a fixed +5v.  That voltage can be fed to any cell phone or USB connected portable device, to charge its battery.  The circuit uses a Reg113-5 voltage regulator from Texas Instruments . . .
