2025-10-06 Schematic Of On-Off Touch Switch, Latching

This circuit uses four BJTs – 3 NPN and 1 PNP high current to drive the load. It has two touch pads, one for On and one for Off. I don’t see any information about the power supply voltage or load current. Some maximum voltage and current should be given for the circuit as shown.

2025-03-21 Magnetothermal Refrigerator Is More Efficient

This system uses a heater and cooler that is fixed with transfer into moving fluids.  I wonder if they have tried changing it to a system where the heater and cooler is like a regular refrigerator where the heater and cooler moves around with the transfer into fixed locations.  So the magnetothermal metal would move.

The A3144 Hall Effect sensor short video, shows pinout, circuit.  A3144 has a built-in schmitt trigger.  The output is switched to ground. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1024280052731640?mibextid=9drbnH

2024-05-29 Solar Panel Controller To Charge Lead-Acid Battery

This is a simple charge controller that includes a dump load to dissipate excess power from the PV panel.  D1 is the reference voltage that feed the 393 comparators, and its forward voltage changes with temperature.  It would be better to use a low power LM317 to give a stable 1.25 volts. Instead of a

2024-05-13 Autonomous Solar Tracking System

For each direction of travel, it consists of two solar cells connected in parallel opposing to a motor that’s geared down to turn the tracking so both solar cells are in the shade.  https://www.facebook.com/reel/7341922389263306?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e

2024-04-07 Esbjerg Changes To Heat Pump City Heating System

The city of Esbjerg, Denmark is replacing its coal fired city heating system with an amazing giant heat pump, biomass boilers and waste burning boilers.  The refrigerant is CO2.  Read the description. This is a long 43 minutes but is very comprehensive and interesting.  The cost is about 40 million Euros. 

2023-12-07 Laser Weed Killer, Scarecrow, Bug Killer

These autonomous laser devices can be working in the fields around the clock. They could severely reduce the need for herbicides (weed killer chemicals), and insecticides which are also harmful to good insects and other animals and pollute the environment. It’s highly unlikely that a weed will become resistant to a Laser! They can be
