This circuit uses HT2844P chip to make jet engine sound.
It runs on 3V from 2 AA batteries.
VR1 and R3 control sound pitch and speed.
When ON chip makes jet sound from 8 ohm speaker.
Pins 12, 13, 14, 15 give different sounds when pressed to ground.
Q1 transistor makes sound louder for speaker.
R1 and R2 keep parts safe by controlling current.
Formulas with Calculations:
Below are the formulas with calculations for Simple Jet Engine Sound Generator Circuit using IC HT2844P:
Current through R2 (I_R2):
I_R2 = (V_CC – V_BE) / R2
= (3V – 0.7V) / 470Ω
= 4.9mA
Power in R2 (P_R2):
P_R2 = I_R2² × R2
= (4.9mA)² × 470Ω
= 11.3mW
How to Build:
To build a Jet Engine Sound Generator Circuit using IC HT2844P following steps are required to follow for connections and assembling:
- Collect all parts from circuit diagram.
- Connect pin 2 of IC1 HT2844P to +3V battery.
- Put capacitor C1 across power lines of supply rails.
- One side of 8Ω speaker goes to + side of C1 and other side go to collector of Q1.
- Pin 6 of IC1 goes to base of Q1 through R2 and emitter of Q1 goes to GND.
- Pin 7 of IC1 connect to GND.
- Pin 10 of IC1 goes to VR1 through R3 and other side of VR1 go to pin 11.
- Pins 12, 13, 14, 15 go to push buttons S1 to S4 and other side of buttons to GND.
- Pin 16 of IC1 goes to GND through R1 and LED1.
- +3V from battery goes to pin 2 of IC1 and negative side go to GND.
