Complete Room Securty System Circuit diagram
This simple circuit is called room security system circuit. The main purpose of this circuit is to secure your room in night. You need not any security guard. When any unwanted person wants to enter your room in night then this circuit raised alarm. On the other benefit, it is always activated on load shedding.
There are five separates parts in this circuit – regulated power supply, relay driver, door switching, alarm system and audio amplifier. First section is regulated power supply. The output of IC 7809 is regulated +9Volt which is converted from 9Volt unregulated power supply. Capacitors are used for removing ripple. A full wave 9 volt transformer is connected in the input of this power section.
The second part is relay driver. Q1 transistor is used for driving relay. When the Q1 transistor is forward bias then the relay is ON and the total circuit gets positive voltage from ac source. In the time of load shedding relay is deactivated and the total circuit gets power from 6Volt Battery.

The third part is door switching. When C1 capacitor’s two terminals are short, transistor Q2 is reversed
biased. So Q2 transistor is OFF. When C1 capacitor’s two terminals are
open, transistor Q2 is forward biased. So Q2 transistor is ON. For this
reason IC UM66 is ON and it
generates music which is feed another two transistors Q3 and Q4. A
speaker is connected with collector of the transistor Q4 as circuit
diagram.
Automatic Street Light Controller Circuit Diagram
This circuit is an automatic street light controller. Sensors used to detect changes in light is LDR (Light dependent resistor), the working principle of Light dependent resistor
is exposed to light when the resistance value of LDR great, but if not
exposed to light or dark then the resistance value of LDR.
LDR is a special type of resistance whose value depends on the brightness of the light which is falling on it. It has resistance of about 1 mega ohm when in total darkness, but a resistance of only about 5k ohms when brightness illuminated. It responds to a large part of light spectrum.
When light falls on the LDR then its resistance decreases which results in increase of the voltage at pin 2 of the IC 555. IC 555 has got comparator
inbuilt, which compares between the input voltage from pin2 and 1/3rd
of the power supply voltage. When input falls below 1/3rd then output is
set high otherwise it is set low. Since in brightness, input voltage
rises so we obtain no positive voltage at output of pin 3 to drive relay.

In this 4017 Knight Rider circuit, the 555 timer is
wired as an oscillator. It can be adjusted to give the desired speed
for the display. The output of the 555 is directly connected to the
input of a Johnson Counter (CD 4017).
Continue Reading here[...]
The
input of the counter is called the CLOCK line. The 10 outputs become
active, one at a time, on the rising edge of the waveform from the 555. Each output can deliver about 20mA but a LED should not be connected to the output without a current-limiting resistor (220Ω in the circuit above).
The
first 6 outputs of the chip are connected directly to the 6 LEDs and
these “move” across the display. The next 4 outputs move the effect in
the opposite direction and the cycle repeats. The animation above shows
how the effect appears on the display. Using six LEDs,
the display can be placed in the front of a model car to give a very
realistic effect. The outputs can be taken to driver transistors to
produce a larger version of the display.

Transistor AM Modulator Circuit Diagram
Modulation is the process of changing some characteristics (e.g. amplitude, frequency or phase) of a carrier wave in accordance with the intensity of the signal is known as modulation.
The figure shows the electronics circuit of a simple am modulator. It is essentially a CE amplifier having a voltage gain of A. The carrier signal is the input to the amplifier. The modulating signal is applied in the emitter resistance circuit.
The carrier ec is applied at the input of the amplifier and the modulating signal es is applied in the emitter resistance circuit. The amplifier circuit amplifies the carrier by a factor A, so that the output is Aes. Since the modulating signal is a part of the biasing circuit, it products low frequency variations in the emitter circuit. This in turn causes variations in “A”.
The result is that amplitude of the carrier varies in accordance with the strength of the signal. Consequently, amplitude modulated output is obtained across RL. It may be noted that carrier should not influence the voltage gain A; only the modulating signal should do this. To achieve this objective, carries should have a small magnitude and signal should have a large magnitude.

A.M Modulator Circuit Diagram
In amplitude modulation the amplitude of a high-frequency carrier is varied in direct proportion to the low-frequency (base-band) message signal. The carrier is usually a sinusoidal waveform that is,
C(t) = Ac . cos( wt)
Where, is the carrier amplitude and fc is the carrier frequency.
The base-band signal or message signal is,
m(t) = Am . cos( wt)
Where, Am is the amplitude of message signal and fm is the frequency of message signal.
Where, Am is the amplitude of message signal and fm is the frequency of message signal.
An amplitude modulation wave may thus be described in its most general form as the function of the time as follows,
S(t) = m(t)×c(t)

Battery Charger Control Circuit
Battery charger control circuit is very useful now-a-days. You need not follow on battery charging or disconnect from ac power for avoiding over charge. This circuit is used to charge battery when the battery voltage drops below the minimum voltage that you want to connect it to a charger. When the battery voltage reaches the maximum voltage you want the charger to be connected.
This circuit is shown in figure. Let your battery voltage is 15 volt. When Ei drops below 10.5 V, V0 goes negative, releasing the relay to its normally closed position. The relay’s normally closed (NC) contacts connect the charger to battery Ei. Diode D1 protects the transistor against excessive reverse bias when V0 = -Vsat. When the battery charges to 13.5 V, V0 switches to disconnect the charger. Diode D2 protects both op-amp and resistor against transients developed by the relay’s collapsing magnetic field.
Suppose that the application requires an inverting voltage level detector with hysteresis. That is V0 must go low when Ei goes above Vut and V0 must go high when Ei drops below Vlt. For this application, do not change the circuit or design procedure for the non-inverting voltage level detectors, simply add an inverting amplifier, or inverting comparator, to the output Vo.

Heat Sensor Circuit
This is the simple heat sensor circuit. It can be used to control any device using heat sensor. In this circuit a thermistor and a resistance is connected in series. This arrangement makes a potential divider circuit.
Here the thermistor is Negative Temperature Coefficient type. So when the room temperature is increased its resistance decreases simultaneously and more current flows through the resistor and the thermistor. We find more voltage at the junction of the resistor and the thermistor.
Our thermistor resistance value is 110 ohms. Suppose the resistance value becomes 90 ohms after heating the 110 ohms thermistor. Then the voltage across one resistor of the voltage divider circuit equals the ratio of that resistor’s value and the sum of resistances of the voltage across the series combination. This is the concept of voltage divider.
The final output voltage of the voltage divider circuit is now applied to the npn transistor (BC548) through the base resistor (3.3K ohms). Here the emitter resistor is replaced with a zener diode. Emitter voltage is maintained at 4.7volt with the help of zener diode. This voltage is used to compare voltage. Transistor conducts when base voltage is greater than the emitter voltage. Transistor conducts if it gets more than 4.7volt of base voltage. Then the circuit is completed through buzzer and it gives sound.

Remote control circuit consists of two parts, one is transmitter and the other is receiver. A simple diagram is schematic remote control. The transmitter circuit’s transmitter IC is controlled by NE555. Receiver circuit works by the signal emitted frequency which is emitted by that transmitter circuit. Transmitted signal frequency must be equal to the frequency decoder of the receiver circuit. The NE 555 generated frequency is same that receive frequency of IC LM 567.

The first step is tuning by way of the transmitter is turned on continuously, while the receiver R1 to set the value to be able to detect the signal transmitter. The second part is the receiver is controlled by LM 567. The following is a schematic drawing recipient.
f = 1 / (1.1 xR1xC1)
This frequency depends on the value of R1 and C1.
