AUTOMATIC AIRFLOW DETECTOR ELECTRONIC DIAGRAM


AUTOMATIC AIRFLOW DETECTOR ELECTRONIC DIAGRAM

Sensor used in this circuit is a bulb filament. If there is no airflow, the filament resistance would give low value. On the other hand, if there is airflow, the filament resistance would varies. The variation of the resistance is caused by the heat difference between filament. It also effects to the voltage variation passing through that filament. That voltage difference will be processed by LM339 op-amp and displayed by the LED.

Parts list :


  •     LED1 : LED 5mm
  •     IC1 volt regulator : LM7805
  •     Polar Capacitor C1 : 47 uF/15V
  •     Resistor R1 : 100 ohm
  •     Resistor R2 : 470 ohm
  •     Resistor R3 : 10k ohm
  •     Potensiometer R4 : 100k ohm
  •     Resistor R5 : 1k ohm
  •     IC2 op-amp : LM339
  •     Bulb filament
  •     Power supply/battery 12V

Metal Detector Schematic Using CS209A

A very simple metal detector electronic project circuit can be designed using the CS209A integrated circuit manufactured by Cherry Semiconductor.The CS209A integrated circuit is a bipolar monolithic integrated circuit for use in metal detection proximity sensing applications.The CS209A metal detector contains two on-chip current regulators, oscillator and low-level feedback circuitry, peak detection/demodulation circuit, a comparator and two complementary output stages.The oscillator, along with an external LC network, provides controlled oscillations where amplitude is highly dependent on the Q of the LC tank.

Metal Detector Schematic Circuit Diagram


The detector, is a single 100uH coil. The IC has an integral oscillator the choke forms part of an external LC circuit, its inductance being changed by the proximity of metal objects. It is the change in oscillation that is amplified and demodulated. Led 1 will light and the buzzer will sound when the inductance its changed. Set up is easy : R5 is adjusted with the LC away from any metal source so that the LED lights and buzzer sounds. The control is backed off so that the LED goes out and buzzer stops. When the choke comes into contact with any metal object that alters its inductance, LED 1 and the buzzer will activate.

FOr this electronic project youll need the following electronic parts: R1=220ohms, R2,R5=10k,R3=1k ,C1,C3=2.2nF; C2=10uF. Entire circuit can be powered from a 9 volts battery.

Simple AC Power Current detector Circuit with LM1458

This circuit will detect power line currents of 250 mA or more without making electrical connections to the line. Current is detected by passing a line of alternating current through an inductive pickup (L1) as a screen diameter of 1 inch U-bolt wound with 800 turns # 30 – # 35 magnet wire.

The pickup could be made from rings of iron or other type of processor core that allows enough space to pass one of the AC lines through the center. Only one of the power line is the line or neutral must come from the center of the pickup to avoid the fields cancel.

Simple AC Power Current detector Circuit with LM1458

I tested the circuit with a 2 wire extension cord that had separated the twin wires a small distance with an exacto knife to allow the U-bolt to encircle a single cable. The magnetic pick-up (U-bolt) produces about 4 millivolts peak for a series of alternating current of 250 mA, or AC load of around 30 watt

The signal from the pickup has grown about 200 times the output of pin op-amp 7, followed by the peak detected by diode and capacitor connected to pin 7. The second op-amp used as a reference point, which detects voltage increases above the drop pass.

The minimum mark required to cause the comparator output stage is a positive change of 800 mV peak around a power line 30-watt. The 1458 swing op-amp output in just a couple of times the ground so a voltage divider (1K/470) is used to reduce the voltage signal at about 0,7 volt.

An additional diode added in series with transistor base to ensure that off when the voltage op-amp is 2 volts. You can get a piece “of relay chatter if the AC load is close to the switching point so a larger load 50 W or higher recommended. The sensitivity can be increased by adding more becomes a pick-up
