Power saving relay driver

Gambar
Relay coil after switch ON needs to voltage much lower than its nominal voltage,  We can use this property of relay to saving 85% of the power to increase the battery life in battery powered circuits. To reduce the current / power consumption we can put a resistor through the relay coil, but since this low current not enough to running the relay at the beginning so we should short out the resistor for 1 second, then the relay switch keep going.  You have to use this formula to calculate the suitable resistor value: For more explanations please watch this video:   

Electronic load using Op-Amp IC 358

Gambar
Electronic load using Op-Amp IC 358 In this circuit i using IC 358 and some few components to make a simple constant load.  The trick here is connecting a dc voltmeter to the non-inverting input of the op-amp to preset the current before connect it to the battery or the super cap. under test.

220v Photocell switch with 2 wires

Gambar
Photocell or auto dark activated switch using for running garden or street lights in the night and turns them OFF at the day time automatically so it helps to power saving. The traditional photocell has two problems: 1-Standby power loss (around 1.6W) 2-Has 3 wires which is difficult to install I designed and make a new circuit that haven't those two problems. Parts list: IC 4093 SCR c106m LDR Bridge diode 4A Resistor 1M Resistor 30K Zener diode 9.1V 1/4W Circuit diagram: Important notes: 1- For this circuit you can only use SCR with sensitive gates such as BT169 or C106M 2- The IC used in this circuit is 4093 because it is micro-power IC , you can't use other NAND or NOT gate ICs.  3- Max. Load this circuit can handle is depend on SCR and bridge diode. The circuit can handle about 4A if used SCR C106M and 4A Bridge diode. 4- This circuit deal with 110/220V AC so can be very dangerous if you touch any component in the circuit. Video:
