Automatic DC light switch

Following circuit is an automatic DC light switch, it run the load in dark.
the load can be a lamp or any other device, works by 3 to 12 volts
It is possible to use this circuit as anti theft system if we connect a laser and an alarm,
so when opens the door, laser ray move from LDR and alarm be turn on.
T2 should be changed by any other power NPN transistor if the load consumed more than 100 mA.

Parts list:
Transistor BC547 (2pcs)
LDR
Resistor 100k
Resistor 1k

Note: if you want to use LED as load, so have to use protection resistor 200 ohm for 3v battery or 680 ohm for 12v battery.

A2XWY; A2XFY Cables meaning; XLPE cables advantages over PVC cables

Technical Specification of Aluminum Cables in terms of codes So many times you have seen coding while specifying cables technical such as A2XWY now what does this means. Now there is nomenclature for the same which is used while describing the same. Where A -  Aluminium 2X- XLPE Insulation W – Steel round wire armour F- Steel Strip Armour WW- Double Steel round Armour FF- Double Steel Strip Armour Y- PVC outer Sheath Wa- Non Magnetic round wire Armour Fa- Non Magnetic Strip Armour AW- Aluminum Wire Armour Now As per A2XWY – This describes that it is Aluminum cable, XLPE insulated, With Steel round wire armour and having PVC outer Sheath. This coding is as per IS 7098(Part1):1988. You have also seen that there is coding for copper so there is no coding required in case of copper cables. XLPE cables advantages over PVC cables/ Thermoplastic cables:- 1.       XLPE cables have higher Power rating about 1.2 times PVC cables 2.       XLPE cables have higher short circuit rating about 1.2 ti

Wireless voltmeter using Arduino and RF 433MHz receiver and transmitter

Image
In this project i showed you how to make a wireless voltmeter using arduino and RF 433MHz receiver and transmitter. You can use this code and concept for many other projects, any project which used sensor with analog voltage output to sense temperature, gas leakage or light , etc. For example you can put a LM35 temperature sensor rather than potantiometer, you just have to putting its formula which convert LM35 output pin voltage to exact temperature. You also can make a wireless AC or DC power meter by doing some change in code and hardware (using hall effect current sensor and single phase voltage sensor). This type of RF module has distance range up to 200 meters according to datasheet but when i bought this RF module from Aliexpress its distance rang was very low, but i set its adjustable RF coil very carefully and i get very higher distance rang.(Don't play with RF coil if your module works good), You also have to use a 6 inch antenna to increase distance range to max as possi

Story beyond the "Transistor"

Image
            John Bardeen, a inventor of the transistor that led to modern electronics and twice a winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, died yesterday at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. He was 82 years old.                                    Dr. Bardeen, a professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, was a patient at the hospital when he suffered a heart attack, said Larry Bernard, a university spokesman. A soft-spoken theoretical physicist, Dr. Bardeen was working with two other scientists, Walter Brattain and William P. Shockley, at the American Telephone and Telegraph Company's Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J., when they developed the first semiconductor transistor in 1947. The invention was announced in June 1948, and its first commercial use was in telephone-switching equipment four years later. Revolutionary Inventions. Invention of the transistor earned the three men a Nobel Prize in 1956 and transformed science and industry. The ti
