Air flow detector circuit.

Description. This circuit can give a visual indication of the rate of air flow.It can be also used to check whether there is air flow in a given space. The filament of a incandescent bulb is the sensing part of the circuit.When there is no air flow the resistance of the filament will be low.When

Telephone Related

Ringing phone light flasher.

Description. This circuit can be used to glow a bulb or turn a alarm when the phone rings.Using this circuit  nuissence of telephone ring at night can be avoided. When the telephone rings the line voltage rises to 72 volts.At this time the LED in the opto-coupler glows and the transistor conducts. Due to this
