Sensors and Detectors

This article talks about two easy and Simple Mains Phase Detector Circuit using CMOS ICs like IC 4001 and IC 4060. They find if mains AC 220V or 120V is present in air. No need to touch the mains. Circuit uses antenna to feel mains power in air. Circuit Working (using IC 4001): IC 4001 […]

Imagine we have a spy device that finds nearby mobile phones. Mobile Phone Detector Circuit using Transistors is like ear for special signals phones send to towers. It can catch signal even before phone rings like secret talk between phone and tower. It uses transistors, small switches to catch these signals. Circuit Working: Parts List: […]

Imagine a disco party but with no flashing lights! This Sound to Light Converter Circuit changes sound to light. It hears music and make lights flash with beat. Smart parts inside change sound volume or pitch to light brightness or speed. Circuit Working of Sound to Light Converter Circuit using Piezo: Parts List: Category Component […]

A Powerful Metal Detector Circuit has high sensitivity and can find many metal types at different depths. Coil is important part. Big coil finds deep objects and small coil find better for small things. By using changeable coils is best for many uses. Circuit Working: Parts List: Component Type Description Quantity Resistors (All resistors are […]

This is Simple Gold Detector Circuit. It uses magnet and electric to find metal and even gold. Electric goes fast back and forth. This make magnetic field in coil. When metal come close then electric changes. It is an fun project to learn about metal detector but may not that good for real treasure. Circuit […]

LEDs mostly make light but they can also sense light! Like a secret power when light hits an LED the right way it makes a tiny bit of electricity. This is called the photovoltaic effect like a tiny solar panel. In this post for How to use an LED as a Light Detector Circuit we […]
